you got a legit reason to go with 18s now

As soon as I mounted the wheels I thought "Shit I should have gone with 18s in the first place"

We'll see how these hold up to daily driving and a HPDE in a couple weeks and go from there.

Honestly, outside of a weight coming off, you'll be fine.

Took my first snow drive today on the way to work.

oldlostcory · 03-29-2017, 02:02 PM

Winter is finally over. Put the summer wheels back on and changed the oil today.

Everyone else is on here saying winter is over and putting on their nice wheels, meanwhile in Alaska.....
How was the drive? I bought mine just after the last snow of the season in Idaho so I haven't tried her out yet.

Put my recoated wheels back on. Cell pic so not the greatest. They are really a heavy metallic and pop well in the sun. Excited for my buddy to take some pics of them with his camera.

Photo my buddy did last weekend

It was fine. I have Blizzaks on it. And it really comes down to fundamentals, don't mix inputs (steering with braking or accelerating). Shift as soon as your able and keep the RPMs down. I noticed a couple of times if I held a gear past 3K the traction light would start to blink. The only spot I had trouble on was this morning I caught a light that rests on at a slight incline that was pretty icy. Once the light turn she wagged her tail and i lightly counter-steered as we made it through 1 and 2nd gear, I got into 3rd just as I cleared the intersection and we were off.

Speaking of inclines, I know people are po-poing on the Hill start assist. I LOVE IT! this morning the I watched as a bunch of fwd cars struggling and failing to make it out of the street leaving the neighborhood. and when I backed out of the driveway having that nanny holding the car for me as I feathered into gear and pulled away like a boss in my 'unwinterable sports car'. Love this machine.

Became a Subaru Ambassador yesterday so today I ordered my first set of Subaru gear to give away!

HamburgerSushi · 03-30-2017, 05:38 PM

Made a shift knob meant for an original 911 fit on my BRZ - I'm in love. Finished in a heat resistant semi-gloss seal. Used an oxygen sensor adapter for a thread.

Perrin inlet and removed sound tube. Officially this part doesn't fit on the new engine but some stretching and clamps did the job
