Jack Burton's Porkchop Express - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

JACK 8URT0N · 06-08-2012, 05:36 PM

Just picked her up from Bob Baker in San Diego. White Limited 6MT. Drove her to work, and wow, i cannot stop smiling. Gearbox feels great. Pedals are smooth. Seats are nice and snug. Plenty of headroom. I am 6'0" 190lbs. Haven't touched the nav/stereo, spent the whole ride with the windows down, listening to the motor purr. Got some TE37's ready to go on, but I need new lugs first. Wanted to use my Rays, but the thread pitch is for Honda. First thing I am doing though is contacting latheworks for my NISMO custom knob and extender. It's been a long wait guys, but she is here, and it's everything I had imagined. Except... it really is much smaller in person. Also, high five to Bob Baker for making the whole experience awesome. And thanks to everyone here who has contributed to this community and helped me get info on the car. It has been fun. Now, it only gets better. Cheers.

"It's all in the reflexes" Good thing too. You are gonna need them if too many people find out about the Nismo parts in your BRZ lol.

When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."

Also, congrats.

"Just remember what old Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big old storm right in the eye and says "Give me your best shot. I can take it.""

Like I told my last wife, I says, "Honey, I never drive faster than I can see. Besides that, it's all in the reflexes."

Are you SUFU Jack Burton?
