ya don't use a pressure washer on your car. can be bad for paint a nice stream of water is sufficient. i usually prefer just the hose with no nozzle but that uses a good amount of extra water.

I usually leave it on the lowest setting and its fine... Never had a problem on any car, i just like the line it does... I guess our car paint really is thin !

I fired up my car today - first time since Nov 6 or so - no hesitation or smoke lol
Here are pics of me swapping out the headlights and I removed the front cf lip for some repairs

Congrats Norm. It looks great.

Nice!
I'm sure you've answered this before, but I'm curious as to why you chose this kit over Vortech or KW?

Geez! Another Boosted! I'm glad to still be the only turbo brz in ottawa though. But it is nice to add another FI into the family

Nice work Norm!! My painted tires subtracts .5 HP from my baby. ( added weight )

Very nice Norm!

Also nice to see the cars are finally coming out of hibernation. Mine is still filthy dirty, even with the nice weather yesterday as I was still unpacking from the house move.

Will be doing my spring detailing soon once I get the garage organized and everything else cleared out.

A few mods coming this spring but will still be way behind you guys....

You can tell it's spring -- I got the first lump of bird crap on my hood. Grrrrr....

But I also got the summer toy out for a quick spin, just to make everything is OK after its winter nap.

Nice job with the S/C Norm, you're going to be blazing around 'Boogie this year!
