Put my snow tires on today for the first time. Traction was amazing. Definitely feel confident to drive in the snow long as there is clearance:

Bonus Pic, little comparo with the snows, OE all-seasons, and ZII's:

Drove in the ZII last night they actually work very well in wet cold traction

nataku · 03-25-2013, 02:32 PM

Same deal for me today. Still drivin on the ZII's in a bit if slushie. No worse than the OEMs.

Trip up to IAG was rock solid...still haven't taken my snow tires off.

Blargh! Penguins just traded for Douglas Murray from San Jose. I'm a big fan of Murray, and I think the Caps need a big, stay-at-home defensemen. I was hoping he'd end up in DC at the trade deadline, although, injuries aside, they are almost overloaded with d-men. (Mostly mediocre/AHLers, though.) Well, at least he'll be a UFA after the season. Maybe they can pick him up reasonably then.

What is this "hockey" you speak of?

I ordered the FA20CLUB Equal Length Exhaust Manifold/Header. I opted for the catted version as I don't want any unwanted smells/noise.

I'm also waiting on:
- My Eibach Multi-Pro R2 Coilovers to arrive
- 4 bolts to arrive so Brady @PureAutomotive can install my Wilwood Brake Kit 310mm (4 pot fronts)
- I have my ESM 004s Wheels (18x8/18x9) sitting in my garage - Waiting to order: Dunlop Direzza Z2 (235/40/18 & 255/35/18)

Hmm do you park in a garage at work off of NBP? If not, you have a twin. I get in later and usually park on the 3rd story with my DGM BRZ.

&@#%$* salt trucks. There were literally hunks of salt sitting on the hood.

Yep, thats me. I try and park in the same spot on the 2nd story every day. I love having a parking garage there.

I was sitting in an office today where the lights are motion activated. Wasted time scrolling and updating the inventory at work only to have the lights shut off multiple times. Put a stick note in front of me that said "flap your arms" just so that I keep the lights in the office on.

ftc~brz · 03-27-2013, 06:10 PM

@BoostinIX I almost gave you crap for all the non 86 pics, but you saved yourself by storing the small asian in your trunk.

yes I am this bored right now

thejevans · 03-27-2013, 06:59 PM

I'm cutting open my tails this weekend and painting them. I'm also making a new gasket for each because it seems that where they leak from.

I got foam + sealant today....turns out I got a lot more foam than I needed. Anyone else wanna make a new gasket for theirs?

Also, I have some vortex generators coming in tomorrow.

I'm gonna attach them underneath the bumper in the front to see if I can counteract hood lift and rear end lift at speed. They were ~$4 each, and I got 10. I'll probably only use 4-6, and I'd be more than willing to sell the rest to whoever wants 'em (if they show results, that is). I should know by this weekend if they do, and I'll get some video evidence. Here's hoping!
