Haven't done much with this car over the summer, but the mountains are fun as always.

You must get a lot of people wanting to race you

The car looks great.

Started snowing tonight. Guess that's a wrap for '25.

Swapped the passenger RUCA, noise persists.

Weather managed to hold for the past two weekends. First was great, second was snowy.

Car has been washed and tucked away for winter. No major plans for this off-season at this time, but the mod bug always bites around Christmas.

Edit: also updated parts list in the first post.

Fake spring number <idk I lost track> is upon us.

No plans for the car out of storage. I need to get to the bottom of this clunk, so I am going to throw in a new axle + nut and if that isn't the issue the coilovers are being sent to rebuild.

Another picture from the end of season photo shoot :$

Update! Summer has come and mostly gone.

Took the first drive of the year on 8/6 day, way more lame than last year tbh. Never really been sold on car meets but that was a bit of a bummer. Oh well!

Somewhere along the way I installed some parts, one of which was to try and fix the clunk. Alas, it did not go away but it became less... subframe bushings seems to be the consensus because the noise happens with a known good OEM strut installed. On the plus side all of the bushings are new.
+New knuckle bushings, OEM axle & nut, Whiteline subframe inserts, TRD door cups (style points count for something), SYMS Racing Aero Wiper Blades, new coolant hoses

Did fresh oil all round and fixed the coolant leak (loose hose clamp -.-).
+Kirkland 5w30, Mobil1 75w90

Next an alignment, followed by a 1100 km drive to Vancouver BC. Car drove there and back without a hitch ~3000 km total in a week.
-3 Front -2 Rear, 0 toe all around. Super planted and not a lot of tracking on the highway.

While we were out there I was able to cross one more state off the list. Washington has been done with a drive in the mountains.

Once home the car didn't get driven much. But over this past weekend a buddy and I made it out to the Rockies before the impending snowfall.
