WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY? - Page 1410 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Discovered my rear radiator, and the diff cooler were both completely clogged with bull dust after a recent rally day (and I mean solid).
No way to clean them in situ... so had to drop them both.
Not fun...but very satisfying hitting them with the preasure washer and seeing a sea of filthy dark bown water slowly turn clear.

Well while it is clean and stored for now. Touched up most of the rock dings in the front. Sanded down and correction polished the front. The rest of the car got a general light polish. Now to Ceramic then wax. Thinking it may be time to upgrade the polisher to an orbital? That one is over 30 years old.

nah. the magic is in the pads and compounds used, not the tool. as long as it keeps working, there's no reason to change it.

You just have better control for the final polish with the new orbitals. Or I could use the roll buffer I just bough my guys for polishing aluminum. It came with paint pads also.

Bought her new shoes, Super Sports. The stock ps4 have 4 track days and 23k in them. Pretty impressive!

Finally added a TRD style spoiler. I think I’m finally done, although I’ve said that before.

Good choice, I have them on my car and I’ll likely get them again.

I had a pair on my is300 and thought they were good. I'm not sure my decision to get them over ps4s though.

I’m the same, I have to get a new set soon, but I figured I’m already happy with the Super Sports and they’re cheaper. Are the PS4S tyres much better?

Looks like your car well pissed off! Spat out its dummy...

New coilovers today.

BirdTRD · 03-11-2023, 03:49 PM

Fixed the #3 misfire at WOT. Coil packs were 9 years old with 65K miles on them, I guess they had a good life. Didn't jack the engine and the Edelbrock cooling hoses made it difficult to deal with #1 coil pack bolt.

Is that going from RCE Yellow Springs + OEM Struts to Tein Flex Z coils?

I'm thinking of going that exact route in the future as well, would love an update on how it compares if you get a chance!

BRZ-150 filled with pop-up tent, tires, toolbox, helmet, and spares for track duty this weekend. Wet sessions nearly all day, lots of spins, glad to keep it on track all day.
