Last night I finally got around to installing my Authentic TRD roof fin.

Drone is the carrying of one note of sound constantly for any given time. It is awful way to spend a drive. It can make your head hurt as well as just sound awful. Someone outside may not hear it, but someone inside will most likely. Like listening to someone speaking monotone in a three hour meeting. The cure for it is, stomp the gas and get out of that drone your listening too. I've only ever heard drone from cars as they are stuck on a cruise speed and never changes

Drone has nothing to do with loud or quiet, you can hear quiet drone too.

Googled-

1.to make a dull, continued, low, monotonous sound; hum; buzz.

Not an FRS, but I'm posting anyways.

Installed this weekend: RCE Tarmac 2s, Raceseng 2" rear mounts, Raceseng cascam plates. Haven't tracked it yet, but it felt amazing on the skid pad. A little lower than I'd like. Next time I won't use the 2" rear mounts.

Alignment specs:
-1.25" ride height
-1.7* camber front
-2.2* camber rear (no LCAs yet)
-7.2* caster front
0.6* toe out in front
0.0 toe rear
Corner balanced at 50.05 on diagonals

I was part of a 3-way car collision. Stopped at the red light, the 2 other cars were on the adjacent side of the intersection and didn't see each other when one turned and I ended up catching some of their shitty driving.

Shitty picture

Fender, side marker, and front bumper will be replaced under insurance.
Good news is was that my front bumper was already kind of fucked. Woot.

First startup with them installed nearly smoked myself out of the garage though, as the coating burned in...oops

Nice! I should have probably gotten those rear mounts for my car before I just put the suspension in, damn. Have to check and make sure they are legal for STX first I guess...

Hey Sheep what rear visor is that? I really like the way it matches the roof lines.

Beatsonic roof spoiler. I'd like to pick one up, but with how the dollar is, I have other things that I can spend my money on. *coughaimgainbumpercoughcomingspring2016cough*

Looking good. Can you provide a link? Looks to be Vvivid Vinyl.

I've been bad about posting here.

Anyway - today I made some adjustments to the installation of my Grimmspeed intake, so it is now fitted properly. I installed my Radium Engineering MCB (with the main bolt being silver as requested - instead of the defaulted green).

Friday I placed an order with JDL - I have a spoiler arriving later this month, and next month I should receive my new wheels that have been on order since late October.

Tax returns are coming up - so far, 2016 feels good 8)
