Good eye guys! Looks like this bad boy needs some proper engine management and some beefed up internals!

In other news, I want monogram headlights.

Your killing me Smalls.

I missed the slot car talk. I love slot cars and still have my first ones. I have about 3000 now, HO scale. I still have all my 1/24th scale, but no where to run them in San Jose in years now. Here is my HO 4 lane track. Built it myself.

Looking for Frs/Brz fellow drivers

Live in the Modesto area and was wondering if you guys get together for meets often? Would be cool to know so I could join one day. Not to many gt86 drivers out here.

Not much in Modesto. Occasionally Stockton but mostly Sac.

Check out the Sac86 facebook group as they aren't really active on here. There is a large active contingent from Lodi to Turlock so kinda hard to get meets going. But every couple months we rotate the Sac meet down this way. Their next meet is this Saturday in Natomas

Guys, the urge to get those TRD carbon fiber aero fins is not going away. I'm kinda freaking out.

Not sure why, but I'm way more depressed after taking off my vinyl stickers ("baby stig on board", "the world is flat", "proud of boxer", "norcal86 drive", etc) than after the part out. Am I that shallow? Lol
