Yeah I think this is not taking weight completely off the pinch welds, but at least it's getting distributed better, and will stop splitting my rubber jack stand pads. I suppose I'm lucky to find these after my first year in AX lol.

I went through three different ones before I found one I really liked!

One of the ebay units, the simple flip up variant.

I have the TRD slide one still in the box from 2015. Maybe this is the year I install it. Problem is, can't go back after install without new consol.

Like @Sapphireho I have the flip up one (3rd party) still in the box from 2 Christmases ago. My plan had been to add slides to it so I could slide it back and forth rather than flip up, but haven't gotten around to doing it. Now, since I'm debating trade/no trade of the FRS towards a different DD, I may just hold off and sell it.

Wait, I thought this was the RT lemons car? I have $500 burning a hole in my pocket!

This one is a little taller than ideal as it is taller than the door armrest, but it's close enough. I also like that it slides forward & backwards so that I can slide it out of the way if needed.

Kind of a bulk update since I haven't been on in a few years but...

HKS Turbo kit (with supporting goodies) and an Advan style livery.

My tob started making noise at around 121000km, and I bit the bullet and did the job myself. First time I dropped the transmission, and oh boy it was heavy to handle it underneath the car. It took the entire weekend, but I did it myself. Did not crash during the morning commute this morning.

Ran over a plastic bag on the freeway and spent a good amount of time cursing under the car. Tried avoiding it but the cars to my left and right had impeccable timing.

Could be worse... I've run over a deer carcass before and parts of it attached to the muffler. Cooking deer meat isn't as pleasant smelling as you would think.
