Thanks Darren! Car looks soo good now that it's flush. The KW's aren't bouncy at all. Can't throw it into a corner yet due to rub but I'll get that sorted out. You rock dude!

I'm 34 so right there with you in age Darren. I used to work at Trojan for a short while and yes it's crazy not seeing the tower. When I heard it was made of asbestos though, I did a double take and am happy they got rid of it.
I'm still waiting for my red limited manual BRZ and probably will be waiting a while as red seems to be hard to come by. I took over a preorder in June that someone else decided to cancel and still no end in sight. Been riding my bicycle and borrowing my mom's car ever since June since I sold my R32 when the dealer said I could order one. If I would have known the order (waiting) process I probably would have tried to hold onto my R32 longer. At least I have a set of super light wheels with RE11s waiting for it from my R32, unless I'm able to sell them before the car arrives. |

The waiting game is killer man, I placed my deposit in early February and got the car in late May. That was nearly four months! But nobody else was enjoying theirs' yet, so it made the wait easier.
Post up in here, too: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6070 Those wheels are drilled for 5x114 and 5x100?
