We need to swap cars Gem, if only for a bit. I've been driving my turbo around for the last 3 months so I am used to how raunchy my car is (she actually breathes fire

I think the only person who has driven my car and yours is @Yruyur of course he babied my car even after I gave him the go ahead to "play".

Damn I was just in San Diego this past weekend, met up with some of the people out at the Q doing some SCCA AutoX there.

I will be out there for a few shows coming up later this year like Hot Import Nights in Anaheim in July and ToyotaFest on May 4th.

Hey Gem, I'll hit you up this weekend so we can arrange a time and place to meet. I don't work Tuesday so it's actually a perfect time to get together!

sw20kosh · 03-25-2013, 02:44 PM

Hey Gem,

I know you were concerned about heat and track-ability of the kit. Looks like the stock radiator is not sufficient to handle this extra power. Oil cooler would be a must too.

"Rough day for me today. Vortech super charger heat soaked motor and car ran slower than stock.

I laso changed my suspension from the last time I ran at the track FML, Horrible times. Oh well next time. I'll post up some video of a stock BRZ smoking me just pathetic."
