Did a collection of things, before I took it back to the track. It helped me get a new record !

I did this. One of those problems I didn't even know existed. When I went to remove the rubber plug it was barely holding on. Thanks Velox! (I mean Verus)

86 days of ownership and she's looking nice to me

(Took me two days to get the front suspension sitting right lol)

Tein Flex Zs dropped an inch in the back and 1.1 in the front.

Did LA canyons yesterday for the first time, that sure was an experience I’ll tell you that. I’m sure most of y’all already did that course but for folks who haven’t tried it yet, dooo it!

Very clean looking. Can't wait to see more photos from you.
How much whiskey can you haul in your 86?

Not today, but a few ago. I put a 10" Kicker Comp 2omh in a ported box hooked to one 500W channel of a Boss 1000 watt.

With the stock head unit there is little to no control and with the level and bass boost all the way down it's still . . . Well, perfect for me. It bangs real hard. I'd like to max it out, but I couldn't hear the treble if I did.

Looks like I need more upgrades.

One of the tricks we used to use, when the sub boxes got too "boomy," was to fill the box with polyfill. It helped keep the bass tone deep without overpowering the rest of the signal, especially in cars with small cabins like ours.

Never enough is the correct answer lol. I only ever have to carry a dozen bottles at a time at the most for small tastings so I'm good

Yep, I could see where a dozen bottles would fit -

Exedy stage 1 clutch/lwfw, revised TOB, and Verus forged clutch fork/pivot. Love it so far!

Got it back from body shop with about 80% of the car repainted after dumb girl smacked me from behind.
Then put new Firehawk Indy 500s on replacing the same that were on there before.

Installed hood struts that I ordered from AliExpress.

$40 well spent.

I was considering some polyfill, but I think my real issue is a 300 watt max sub running on a 500w channel. I think a smaller amp is in order.

Also a smaller box as I now can just barely bring groceries home. I'd like a custom one that tucks into the passenger rear corner without protruding. Like the MTX thunderform that's discontinued. But I'm not ready to spend money on that yet.

I'd love to do that. But the 5,000 mile commute makes it impractical.
