Hey Stang fastback, Squid here, looks like you're "RET TO GO". Or ready to go. I like what your car . Looks like you have even more under the hood. Or "you don't know what I got under the hood so don't try me!

Hi Scottxnizzle Squidner here. I used to live in Ventura . Your car. You should be proud. Looks like you took some weight off your vehicle with those rims. Good looking car.

Hi. I'm Squidner; I used to have an NSX. I am more impressed with the BRZ. First you don't feel like a poser driving it. It weighs less and corners the same. Add a smallish supercharger and you have more power to weight than most cars twice or even ten times its cost. Most people have no idea how wonderful a platform we've been given. And it's also beautiful.

God that looks real nice

How are those DZ102s in 255/35? Do they run smaller or bigger than other 255s? Is there any stretch? Been looking at those tires but cant decide between 255/35 or 265/35.

Installed the DAMD steering wheel today and I must say it's such a good quality piece. It's shape, quality of leather, and feel make it seem very OEM (which is what I was looking for). I can't imagine going back to the stock wheel now. Awesome, awesome upgrade!

Kami Speed. They are a vendor on this forum.

I can't get over how awesome it feels in the hand...smaller than stock, much thicker, leather is top notch, and has the square bottom for better thigh/knee clearance. Love it.

I was scrolling to the bottom of the page and your steering caught my eye. Wow, nice!

not sure how they are compared to other 255/35, but they believe they do stretch a bit, not a lot. Rim sticks out a bit.

Pulled my BRZ out of the garage after having not moved it since December 1.
Dusted it off a bit, aired the tires up from ~31psi back to 35 and and installed the Diode Dynamics DRL/Boomerang module. I'm so ready for spring so i can park the winter truck and get back to driving the BRZ (breaking it in still really).
