can't go wrong either way

I have a similar commute and this is nice to hear!

By the way, which wheels/color are those? I am wondering because of the color...looking at Rota Titan on wheeldude's shop, the bronze is really bright. Yours are just the color I want.

lol These are Titans Sports Bronze, mine are not bright at all. I know I've seen some pics of them almost looking gold but in person they are closer to bronze than gold.

I thought about this once. Nice to see someone who actually did it.
What exact paint did you use? Also, did you add clear coat over them?

I got my brz back from the dealer today. They replaced the transmission because of the 5th gear synchro issue and flashed my ecm for the idle hunt issue. Just driving it back home, the transmission feels 1000x better than before.

I was going to get my oil and transmission fluids changed on Wednesday, but I tore my other MB Quart door speaker and I can't STAND that madness, so I'm thinking of getting the Infinity components I purchased installed and putting off fluid changes until the end of the month. I also need summer tires and a buff.

Pics to keep this thread busy:

You make me want the clear lens TOM's the more I see your car haha. Red on white looks good though. We will see how I feel about it when I get home.

Great pics too!

Drove it. Another ~100 miles of winding-road goodness. Unfortunately my usual long drive route was completely clogged with Harley riders today. If anyone on here's ever owned a Harley, I have a question about the dealerships: is there some kind of blood-oath they make you swear, to never drive faster than 2/3's of the speed limit and never allow other motorized vehicles to pass? Is there a provision about never wearing proper safety gear?

I still had fun (it's hard to avoid having fun when I get the BRZ on a curvy road), but man was it frustrating having to sit behind bikers most of the time, doing Prius speeds. It seems like they actively do everything they can to make passing them impossible, too. Total assholes. I was really jealous of guys on sportbikes who can fit around them easily, and who seem to get a free pass and a friendly wave from the Harley crowd just for also having two wheels.

There's a reason many riders refer to Harleys as rolling road blocks. I know from experience that the sport bikes aren't getting a free pass and a friendly wave, they're blowing past them and getting flipped off. Or maybe I'm a bit bitter because I was flipped off by 7 Harley riders Sunday on my BMW that isn't even a sportbike.

In the last couple of days I have installed my springs, shocks, camber plates, sway bars, rear LCAs, summer wheels and tires and played with the alignment on my BRZ.

There is no blood oath...I own a sportster 1200C and I do 5 over the speedlimit pretty regularly. But, it can not take a corner very well. They handle like old Buicks.

The safety gear thing is hit and miss with most riders. I usually have gloves, jacket, and helmet. But some (for whatever reason) believe that detracts from the "open air" of riding a bike.

I have not gotten flipped off by anyone yet. But that is because when I ride I am usually with my friend who has a sport bike. So I guess I have an in with the sport bike crowd and I have a ballpeen hammer mounted on the left side of my bike...might be why everyone else does not flip me off (its there because its apart of a 'tool kit' for the bike)
