I let my mom drive it. She liked it, did awesome for not driving a standard in 14 years. I don't think she's giving up her charger r/t(Daytona package) for one though.

Changed the engine oil. Our jack points for jack stands are weak and useless. After I took off the jack stands, I noticed the paint on the points chipped off.

Now I have to get some touch up paint to cover it up so that it doesn't rust or anything.

Installed my kartboy crank pulley.
Best mod yet - the feeling is so noticeable - the car feels like a cable-throttle car rather than a drive-by-wire car now.

Also adjusted my clutch last week, and installed the Greddy SP Elite.

I must be getting old - the exhaust is louder than I expected (though it does sound good under full throttle)

Yup, gotta go to the repair shop tomorrow and ain't paying a dime because it was the other guys' fault.

Looks like my "STI" kit gotta wait... Good thing I waited for the install today.

Not sure how the payments are gonna go, gotta talk with the other guy's insurance adjuster tomorrow. It would be cool if I can get some Valenti out of it...

The other guy drove a '12 M3 but even though my BRZ is on stock height, it was lower than the M3, thus the tail damage.

Just installed my MTEC Shift springs today and nearly cross-threaded a bolt...

Anyways, the Kartboy Short Shifter along with the MTEC Shift Springs makes the shifts phenomenal!

This should be the first mod on everyone's list after they bought their car!

Got my first door dent today. Some ass opened the door to his white whatever car and dented my door close to the finder in a spot that is hard to fix. Dang it.

Did you install it yourself? If you did, how hard would it be for a novice to do it?

Yep, installed it myself.

It's really easy. Just unbolt two bolts, replace the springs, then close it back up. Just make sure you got the right tools and installation will be easy.

Rear passenger side tire got a nail through it, tore the tire up more than just the puncture too.

Bought some Michelin PSS to replace the full set all around. Anyone wanna buy one of my three remaining OEM tires?
