Got those Cerwin Vega speakers in the mail just now. They're heavier than I expected, so I'm now expecting them to sound good. lol. I'm still waiting for the fast-9999 harness that Bazooka forgot to include in the box. Maaaaaaaaybe I'll install the speakers tomorrow. lol.

Yeah I saw that, either Georgia or Florida plates.

Because you won't be registering this in California that's for sure lol.

And yeah a little vague on that seal replacement in the description: "Apex seals also re-done by previous owner"

Anyone got a property in Clear Lake? lol. You can register it there and never have to smog it.

This video shows what it feels like when I drive my FR-S on Mines Rd!

Car looks heavy, very heavy! And a bit of a change to see a "grip" setup for a rally car. Thoughts?

I remember using the Starlet Glanza V all the time in Gran Turismo. Probably won't see those for another few years here.

Was just browsing through Facebook and caught a video of someone with their kids sneaking up on some other friends in a parking lot. So of course as they sneak around every car in the lot they keep placing their hands on them.

I hope nobody ever lays their grubby hands on my BRZ like that.

Ya, its definitely on the heavy side. Car is slated to compete in the WRC "R-GT" class for RWD cars. It's been dominated lately by repurposed Porsche GT3 Cup cars (which are a good 300 lbs lighter than this one) and this season also has the Fiat 124 Abarth rally car competing. Really like it and hope the class gets bigger and more diverse!

Ya, looks mostly clean, a bit on the pricey side, but I'd still hit that...

Clipdat · 07-12-2017, 01:16 PM

@Foxbat I found a motorcyclist's video of that cheerful DGM BRZ owner that crashed near Mt. Ham.

Skip to 3:10 to hear the BRZ guy's ridiculous comments.
