Hopefully they get here on Monday like Fedex tracking says. Figured out the bulb thing, got a Works Bell hub, and I'm looking around for other suspension bits. Stoked but very anxious at the same time...

...reading over this shows how fucking crazy living on a shitty base makes you.

Back in Southern CA! Gonna get to work on my suspension arms and all that jazz. Parts Shop MAX is local to me so I think I'm gonna pay them a visit this week!

dizzario · 03-27-2014, 01:22 PM

Picked up my PBM LCAs. Movers are coming on Monday...hopefully I can find somewhere to install these since all my shit is in storage :/

dizzario · 04-17-2014, 10:13 PM

LCA's installed, toe adjusted on stock toe arms, TOM'S tails installed. Check those off the list...

dizzario · 04-23-2014, 08:55 PM

Here's some updates:

Last shot in FL before the long drive home.

PBM LCA install.

Rear lowered thanks to the aforementioned PBM LCAs.

I'm going to get some small 3mm-5mm Kyo-ei spacers for the rears. I try not to do 'bullshit' spacing but it's been bugging me so much lately...

I'll snap a picture of the TOM'S this weekend. They look fucking awesome. I just contacted Battle Version and ordered their new toe arms. After that, I'll be working on getting my wheels refinished (refill stock bolt-holes, new hardware, subtle paint) and patiently waiting for a deal on tires. I'm also thinking about giving the MTEC shifter springs a try.

In other news, I've contacted my friend at Toyota of Escondido to see what the pricing is on the TRD Louvers, TRD Spoiler, and even the 5Axis Spoiler if Toyota still has a deal with them.

I'm hoping to grab a duckbill-style spoiler and some front and rear strut bars in the near future.

dizzario · 04-27-2014, 11:13 PM

Got some goods from Battle Version on Saturday. Toe arms. They aren't listed on the website yet but you can email them for info. I think I have the first set...?

Aiming to install these this upcoming weekend.

dizzario · 05-18-2014, 03:14 PM

This fucking 'journal' will be a monument to my incosistency.

UPDATE:
17x9.5+38 RPF1s
NEW TIRES
BLASTPIPES
CARE PACKAGE FROM JAPANPARTS

That's my to-do list for this week...and I STILL haven't even put my toe arms on FUCK!

Who knows what I'll actually accomplish. I want the Enkeis on and BBS sold by this Friday. I'm going all out :burn rubber:

UPDATE: 20MAY14 - Enkeis dropped off @ Final Speed awaiting their new rubber. I went with 235/40 Yoko S Drives. Hopefully they
don't suck balls. Should have them on by Friday. Hoping to remove one front collar and install my Battle
Version toe arms this weekend.

EVERYTHING IS ON AND MY LACK OF PHOTOGRAPHS SHOWS THAT I REALLY DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THIS FORUM BUT I POST IN THIS THREAD WHEN I'M BORED.

On a side note, if you think the new NSX and the new FT-1/Supra thing are attractive and deserve the monikers of their 'predecessors' then I want you to drive your plasti-dipped FRS/BRZ into a big oak tree doing 80mph. No seatbelt. After market steering wheel.

Edit: Here's a picture. Just one. Just the tip. Just to see what it feels like.

Next step is to order my strut bars, hubcentric rings (yeah, total afterthought), and MAYBE have some money left over for 1 or 2 'flashy' items. I want to rock a blast pipe but I've only ever heard one FRS with one and can't decide if it's worth any headaches that might come with having a loud 4banger. Engine-wise I don't plan on doing a thing...I'm going to enjoy the warranty and to be honest I have just as much fun in this as I had in my SR20'd S13. Maybe swaybars if I can find some that really inspire me hah.

dizzario · 06-02-2014, 04:07 PM

So I just purchase what most believe to be the pinnacle of lightweight wheel engineering. I'm talking about the mothereffin' Volk TE37RT. I bought these from a forum member and they're BNIB with all the fixin's. I might wait a day to mount them so I can stare at them in their infinite glory. They're all out of the boxes in my living room and sitting in the chairs next to me...I'm gonna make my wife take many a stupid picture of me with them when she gets off work.

If my weiner doesn't end up in the center bore (or more likely the bolt hole) within the next 30min I'd be surprised.

dizzario · 06-09-2014, 08:29 AM

...well I haven't dialed in my suspension just yet...but here's a sneak peak. Car will be garaged this whole month while I'm on 12HR FUCKING NIGHT WATCHES. Figured I can just drive my wife's Forester since she'll be sleeping while I'm using it.
