Yuri! Love the update. The wheels look so good. This build is definitely OEM +.

More OEM JDM went on today.
TRD Fender extensions color matched in Crystal Black Silica.





Just like everything oem I've gotten for this car, they went on very smoothly, and the quality is perfect.

Wednesday I did my most expensive mod ever.
I did the garage mod, and upgraded to putting a house around my cars.

But can you get into and out of that garage without scraping?

Congratulations on your new house. I love modern houses like that! Amazing.

Thats a very nice house. The drive way looks a bit steep but i guess you can work around that.

Your tS looks nicely modded and i also prefer oem style.

I am curious about your suspension set up. You mentioned about the Tein Flex A with the EDFC being much better. How do you rate the stock set up on track compared to your current one and on the street ?

Would you say that the current Flex A / EDFC is an allrounder? Does the job with a good balance of comfort omen street [Wife friendly] and track worthy stability?

Awaiting to hear your views.
Thanks!

Seems like the wheels are poking quiet a bit. Tires will probably rub when you upgrade to 245. A little more camber might help. BTW, congrats for the house.

The Flex A/ EDFC AP is great setup for everything. Most of the time I can have the shocks set to 32/32 with speed/G adjustment, and it's very comfortable for daily driving, much more so than the stock setup. When I track or canyon, I set the baseline to 16/32 and it's a great setup that really increases response and stability. I just wish there were a quicker way to choose between presets rather than having to cycle through to M (manual) and then cycle through the presets.
