The quickjack is portable and raises the car 24 inches--high enough to do just about anything easily from underneath the car. You can take the system to the track to change wheels or brake pads in no time. Best of all, you can just leave it on the floor of your garage and drive right over it on a daily basis as it is even low enough for the BRZ to clear without issues. This one will lift up to 5,000 lbs. I'm looking forward to getting a chance to use it on future maintenance.

That is one nice system, I gotta get that.

Tracked the car today for the first time! Pretty much all stock minus coilovers but it was a blast. High Plains Raceway out here is a great track real solid day. Wish I had some photos ha

That looks like a fun track.

Took the plunge and did the DIY alcantara steering wheel

Today I washed my poor filthy car. I don't want to admit to how long it's been. But I HAD to wash it so I can take nicer pics of my new wheels. Those went on yesterday. I don't even have a good cell phone pic yet.

Jacked her up and changed her oil to Eneos Sustina!

Can't wait to feel the difference in the drive!

Scooped up an AEM Front Strut Bar and SuperTek Intake pipe and air filter from FT86SpeedFactory during their Black Friday/Thanksgiving sale.

There's a noticeable difference with the strut bar installed, as well as with the master cylinder brace integrated into the bar. Steering and Braking feels improved than before IMO. Also, before the strut bar was installed, I would notice my doors/windows creaking every time I would enter and exit my mildly steep driveway at an angle. The noises have since gone away with the bar.

Also, the first mod I ever did to the car after buying it was replacing all bulbs inside and out with LED units from DiodeDynamics. But recently, I ended up purchasing their single color led footwell kits for a little over $16 with the Black Friday sale and the accumulated points I had from past purchases for an extra discount. Kinda wished I got them in red now instead of amber to match the cluster more, but the amber is actually really nice. Doesn't bother my eyes at night while driving and it reminds me of my parents' amber ambient lighting in their 2013 Mercedes E350.

Hooked them up to the green wire going to the dome light so I could turn them on whenever. Wanted to tap them into the pink wire on the dome light so that they would turn on/off when the doors were opened or closed, but read somewhere on here that I would have to install an inline fuse so I wouldn't risk frying or blowing the ecu or something along those lines, but maybe later down the road I'll try it.

Hi all new around here - just installed my Perrin reverse lockout. Feels great, solid glide and no binding at all and looks pretty nice. Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1419264602.537809.jpg

Installed all my Christmas presents. Seibon VS carbon fiber hood, abflug carbon duckbill spoiler, kartboy short shifter and grimmspeed hood struts. Kinda wanted the RB kit, but guess my wife is saving that for my birthday.......

Update:

She finally got her new shoes.

Added the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's (225/45/17) on stock suspension.

Very nice and handles really well. It's raining here right now, but I can't wait to have them tested out in the sunny dry weather.

I turned my BRZ into a silly reindeer.

Happy holidays y'all!
