I`ve watched Utube vids where the cars get suspension modifications for track driving, like the 2 Canadians(can`t think of the channel). The northern devil as you speak is real! My cars are pretty good underneath, we don`t need salted roads so I see your point of veiw.

My car is a 2015 and doesn't have a spot of rust on the undercarriage. I tinker on this car a lot and much prefer not to deal with shitty, rusty parts and hardware. I have two other cars for that...

Installed my OEMAudio+ system. I can't even quantify how much this system improves life with a BRZ. 10/10 would recommend.

Painted the sub box gloss Tiffany Blue to compliment the Burberry trunk.

The first thing I noticed when I bought the brz was how trash the speakers/sound was. And I was coming from a '00 outback. That is really my.only complaint about these things. Why couldnt they put something acceptable in it and up the msrp $250? im too used to how awful it is now and I cant even tell how rubbish it is anymore and that's not a good thing

You're probably thing of Speed Academy. Probably one of the best channels to watch in my humble opinion. No drama acting, They show what they do (an the mistakes they make). A total must subscribe.

Took her out for an early morning drive to Paducah, and shoved a 9' 9" tube in her backside. She took it like a champ.

It's that time of the year again for us Northerners. My timing is slightly off this year because they are calling for a warm spell coming days.

Rerouted my Cusco AOS to the PCV side instead of the crankcase like they suggest. Curious to see if I catch anything. The Crankcase side was bone dry.

Nice, you should start collecting some blow-by with it hooked up to the PCV side instead. I definitely have content to drain every once in a while with my Radium PCV catch can.

The replacement motor that went into my car after the failure had a PCV catch can setup. Found out when it puked oil into the cylinders since I didn't have a catch can

I'd say you'll collect quite a bit.
