I spent the last couple of days installing the Redline Goods gauge hood and dash cover in my BRZ, and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. Next up, I'm getting a shift boot, brake boot, and new wheels/tires.

Seba · 03-03-2019, 10:33 AM

Bought new tires

echo419 · 03-04-2019, 07:48 AM

changed the transmission and engine oil over the weekend. the only part that sucked was getting the car up on 4 jack stands and level. other than that it was pretty easy.

Actually drove the car to work and didn't bottom out. I really need to replace the suspension, install the BBK, install the oil cooler, etc to get it ready for the track in a few weeks.

(Taken from my other post)

Installed lower control arms today and had to eyeball the camber.

Toe was affected by the camber change and my rear end became super darty -- above 50mph, the rear would want to step out every few seconds. I took a sweeper with a 50mph sign at 45mph and traction control kicked in to yank me in the other direction (I'd normally take this sweeper at 70mph+ with no drama).

I bet my alignment looked like this:

I've never felt more unsafe driving this car, so I parked it at a friend's place down the street from my alignment shop, which I am going to tomorrow.

Did not crash.

I have an '18 PP and wanted to go with the RCE "yellows" but have found mixed opinions on whether adjustable LCAs are necessary with them.

My rear is currently at -1.3 on both sides. Have the springs increased or decreased camber? I was hoping for somewhere between -1.5 and -1.7 with the RCE "yellows" without having to go with aftermarket adjustable LCAs.

I think I had -1.9 and -2.5 after being lowered on RCE Yellows. Ideally you want to dial that rear camber back in.

After my alignment this afternoon, I'm running -1.9 front / -1.6 rear camber and 0 front / 0.05in rear toe-in.

Installed armrest and scosche mount to connect phone with the least cable/wires possible. Plus have it within reach to use it.
