We love to get in the way. Makes for a more exciting race! Bwhahaha

Yeah, I watch the improved production races when I get a chance. It's a great series.

I think a BEAMS 3SGE engine. Could be the 3SGTE.

I need to get either a shorty or a sharkfin for my FR-S so badly. Everytime I look out the window at work I hate that part of my car, especially since the antenna on mine is bent. But I keep buying other things. Maybe I'll make a ton of money in Vegas next week.

Didn't the 2014 come with the sharkfin? Or was it 2015 and later?

Yeah I know, but I also know that if I get a shorty antenna I'll probably regret not getting the sharkfin. And if I get one of the cheaper sharkfins I'll regret not getting the OEM one. As for why I don't just get the OEM sharkfin I don't have any sort of rational explanation. It's not like its that expensive.
