WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?

The guards kept all the mud off, and the horsepower gain was especially useful in when climbing the bank of a stream.



They also protected against alligators biting my tires.

You are brave taking BRZ through that , i bought a zook gv/swb rock crawler for the pleasure of where the road is not and keep BRZ for the road.

Started mounting components for my air ride install. Wood will be fabric wrapped to match the interior.

Do you have to sound proof the trunk ?

Judging by the size of that exhaust tip, I don’t think loud sounds bother this person

I added sound dampening mounts to the compressor. I'll see how it is when I get everything together and working.

To hot to work outside. Rotated tires, Installed new brake rotors and linings, JDM driving lights, seat ventilation covered the last of the silver trim in black vinyl.

Had to rinse her off after just washing it like not even two days ago. My neighbor has this POS tree that stains my car with some orange stuff. My paint sucks as it is Then once fall comes along, it starts dropping pecans and shit. I can see tiny dents in my roof and trunk from last year.

Don’t want to be the tool with the car cover and I’ve accepted the fact that the paint will never be perfect so I’ll just touch up and detail once and be done with it I guess. Still...sucks

sounds like me. I have these obnoxious pink trees and bushes in my yard. They look nice when they bloom but they spit sap like crazy. There are times I wash it almost every day to get the sap off, but I've almost given up. If moving wasn't such a pain in the ass I would.

I did some track day prep last weekend. Oil change, brake fluid flush to DOT 4, clutch fluid flush, installed camber bolts, and practiced taking the pads and rotors on/off. It's a bit too early to put the track pads on, so I just went through the motions to get familiar with it.
I had to break the rotors loose using the two M8 bolt method. That method ended up being a lot easier than I expected.

Made more progress on the trunk setup.

Is there really nowhere to park except under your neighbor’s tree? Why would using a car cover make you a tool and why do you care even if somebody thought that?

Yes! I’ve literally tried every spot in my driveway lol we have a two car port thing that my parents use, but I’ve been parking there when they’re gone lol I just wouldn’t do it

i had a car cover for a little while for a different car for a similar reason. i stopped using it because it was a pain to be installing/removing. and after trying to take the cover off after an ice storm, i/it put some massive scratches in the hood.

a few commentors on jalopnik here and there also say they've had issues with curious george types removing half the covers to see what's underneath, and not putting it back.

seriously, consider having the car ceramic coated. it'll last up to a year just by itself, and adding a layer of carnuba wax on top of that as a sacrificial layer every couple months, and it should almost totally eliminate the problems you're having, besides the dents of course.
