WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?

[cnk]

Finally had a chance to wash all the winter crap off the car this weekend. Power washed the underside to get all the salt/sand off. Polished out some minor scratches. Vacuumed and 303'd the interior. Swapped over to my summer rims/tires. All in time for it to rain today and possibly snow/sleet tonight.

What exact paint did you use? Also, did you add clear coat over them?


^^This!

Tamiya orange 2 cans of it. No clear coat already shiny as is but will polish and buffer for more shine.

Will do when ohio weather doesn't suck.

Got rocket bunny diffuser in today. Gonna make a DIY install video. When I get the chance.

Great pics too!

Yes! Red TOM'S on a white BRZ/FR-S looks REALLY good! The clear ones are good for that panda bear/tofu delivery look.

Apparently, I busted my A/C. The compressor is no longer spinning up when I hit the switch inside the car, pulley isn't spinning or anything, and it's blowing warm @ 65 degrees on the thermostat.

Guess a trip to the dealership is in the cards!

Woke up to this:



Luckily the tire center guys were able to remove and patch it. Only 2k miles on the tires.

Gotta say watching the tire techs driving my car was nerve wracking. This thing is really my baby.

Ordered a set of the clear Tom's Taillights and a Cusco Struct Bar from @fteightysix. Now waiting to be shipped

You're never supposed to patch the shoulder of the tire.

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:

the view of those mountains look amazing!

That's my understanding as well. Tech said "if it had been a hair further into the shoulder we wouldn't have patched it".

Hes the expert, I'm going to watch it for now. Summer rims and tires are in the works so won't be an issue for long anyway.

I would run away from that tire shop and never return....

Generally, it would be considered a blessing to be able to leave a tire shop and never have to return...

Filled up today. Got my best MPG record since I got it in August at 30.2mpg.

Put the summer wheels on: OZ Ultraleggera 17x8. But I think I need more (less?) offset. Spacers on the way....Probably should have waited on the Leggera's in +35...but didn't want to run winter tires until June!
