Correct.

Some pics from this past weekend.

Overall 46th/65 (PAX time), 6th/8 in my class (STX).

I didn't get my air pressure dialled in until my last two runs on the second day. I borrowed my buddy's wheels and tires (Technicraft T6 17" x 8" +42 with some tired and worn Dunlop D1 Direzza Star Specs in 235/40R17). Ended up running 43 PSI up front and 39 rear.

I found my biggest issue is lack of camber in the front. With the TRD lowering springs I have maybe -0.5 degrees... so when the front suspension was loaded up in turns I was rolling the tires pretty hard.

Camber plates are definitely next on the list. The ones from Whiteline are a good price, but non-adjustable. Here's hoping Racecomp Engineering releases some of their lowering camber plates for the FR-S/BRZ soon!

All in all, it was a great learning experience. Each day my first run was my slowest, and my last run was the fastest. I was able to claw time off of each run. Some of this was due to finding better lines on the course, and some was from getting a better feel for the car. I look forward to the next event, and would seriously encourage anyone interested to come out!

TRD parts should become available this fall. I don't know a specific date though.

I saw your car in Toronto last weekend, was just leaving the autoshow for lunch and you drove by the building. The exhaust sounded good!

Thanks! I am really happy with the TRD exhaust.

I guess it is about time I dust off this old thread... I'll have some nice updates pretty soon.

Subscribed. I went from wanting new exhaust tips to wanting this exhaust, within the span of a couple hours.

+2 I hate having a front plate, but if I must, I want it in the center

Nothing yet. I'm hoping to have a revised prototype set and all the info in the next month or so.

kALMIGHTY · 04-25-2013, 10:52 PM

So the TRD springs still aren't available for sale in Canada?

colHolm · 04-26-2013, 07:04 AM

Still not available anywhere in North America...

colHolm · 06-13-2013, 12:42 AM
