Let me know dudes. I could always organize a group even though I have not been down there before, but im sure I can manage lol

Both times I have gone on this excursion, @CoolBReeZe has been awesome enough to lead us on this route out to Medina. We usually leave promptly around 6:30 if memory serves, maybe 6:45. We try to arrive by 9am at the latest.

Does anyone know any good shops in the RR, Pflugerville, N. Austin area that can do alarm installs? I'm looking at getting a LoJack or some sort of tracking device but don't know of any shops.

You should contact your local dealer and find out.

I have not installed the BC's or [Removed]. I got my Spyder headlights installed (lot of soldering), some Cobb urethane exhaust hangers and some other minor things done too. Also have a DW65c fuel pump coming in to install.

I also tried to fix my rattling noise but to no avail, but I think I know where it is coming from and just need to get under there a little better next time.



Addendum: Just installed my Motiv Front Pipe, sounds amazing. Removed it from above lol

Sounds like a great way to finish off that break in.

I always imagine the opening scene from Ace Ventura when I think of UPS and this isn't helping lol

Wow that sucks. Nice shocks though! You are going to san antonio this weekend, you should just schedule a pickup at a local store :P

I just installed my front pipe finally. The benefits of having a garage lol Motiv produces a solid product, this thing sounds great. Can't wait for the sisters this weekend

I'm going to post here to give y'all first dibs. I am going to be parting ways with my master cylinder brace from @GrimmSpeed. It is an amazing piece to really firm up the brakes, unfortunately it doesn't fit into my new game plan. I am asking $40 obo. I need to acquire a bolt that was lost while uninstalling for autocross and it has roughly 4500 miles on it.

Definitely would if I were close enough Twin sisters w/ 300 hp + being somewhat new to stick shift... would scare the shit out of me...

When I had the 135.. that scared me but at least it was a dual clutch. Now with my manual car.. I just don't have the confidence yet

Thanks, I did that and worked something out with them. I was actually surprised at their prices, they were a lot lower than the TRD parts they quoted!

The master brake cylinder is attached to the firewall. The firewall is not entirely rigid (depends on the vehicle) so pressure on the brake pedal can cause flex in the firewall and extra feeling of play or mushy in pushing the brakes. This brace supports the master cylinder via the strut tower in addition to the firewall so the master cylinder cannot move.

I just installed one on my 2002 which has horrible brakes hoping it would help at least the pedal feel... It helped but only a little bit.. Like 5%. Turkish said to me (when he had no plans to sell it) it made a big difference on the brz which might make sense if the brz has a more flimsy lightweight firewall..
