The NAV sucks though simply because you can't manually set a address to go to while in motion.

One more week for you

Yep...I spoke with Sean tonight..I'm flying into Tampa on the 13th with the hope it shows up on schedule and he plans to pick me up at the airport. Never have I dealt with such an awesome dealer. Within a week or so, I plan to have a major overhaul on the NAV / stereo system and hoping to get that custom sub in the trunk...at least that's the plan. Have you gotten it to redline yet?

Yessir.

I'll see you at the dealership to at least say hello and see the awesome DGM

Sweet. I land around 4:30

speaking of the sucky nav, is there a way to skip the consent screen? the one where you have to press 'i agree' before you can use the gps.

nice 97 ITR!

Rims/Wheels look great. Is the front and rear the same exact specs with no spacers? It looks perfect as is

Seriously though, so much more flexibility and rotation with the X:60s. No sacrifice of style, either.

I've been using Vapor X:60 sticks for a while, and they've held up well. I've only broken 1/3. My back-up, which was my main stick for a while, seems weak somewhere in the heel though, but it's still got a lot of resistance when I flex it. Then again, I've seen someone break their stick on the one side, and continue to play with it, unknowingly, as it was still attached on the front-side of the shaft. It didn't last very long. But, to me, it highlighted the "weaknesses" in the CF/composite build. On the one hand, very light and very strong. On the other, the integrity of that strength can be, in some cases, subtly compromised. That's when you end up with a stick like I have for my secondary. It's a 110 pro flex, and I used to rip shots with it. However, now, everything seems to flub because, I suspect, there is some give which hasn't yet gave.

In any case, I was thinking of getting a new stick recently: Bauer Total One, Kane (curve), 102 flex, Lie 6 FTW! I love this pattern.

Sorry, I am not trying to jack your thread.

Great wheel / tire combo! RPF1 with AD08 is what I have on my list. Plan to go with 17x7.5" ET48 and 225/45 tires. ET42-43 would have been perfect for 7.5". I would buy the center caps from Enkei. They are expensive but look awesome. I have had 2 sets of RPF1 earlier on other cars. I haven't found anything better for that kind of money.

Since I had the car up on the lift anyways I took some random pics, nothing specific really just taking pics for friends who haven't been following the car so much so they are new to them, not to you folks here.

Enjoy

Dave, excuse my ignorance. What offset are those rims? Looking at the Enkei website and on TireRack, in 17 x 8 the only offsets available are 35 and 45. What am I missing? I like the wheels but don't want to screw this up.

Thanks in advance.

So Sean will be away.. hmm what evil could Will and I do with a DGM BRZ?

Pretty sure you have to hit the I Agree every time.

You aren't missing anything, I typo'd since I was thinking of the wheels Draco is getting...

Sorry I *MEANT* +45.

Thanks. Also, what is the overall diameter difference between these and stock with the tires you have?

By chance do you have any more pics with the front wheels straight (same angle as the rear? If not, really appreciate the answers.
