That would be awesome! I'm planning on taking my car out at the track day in august but I would appreciate any track time i can get, even as a spectator. My racing experiance is limited to go karting so I want to be as prepared as I can.

I use royal purple oil and motul for everything else. It's probably overkill but I am rally beating it up at the track not letting it fall below 5k rpm for more than 20min at a time. I think any good quality oil should be fine it's normally pretty easy to find amsoil.

Spoiler is back on.. skirts and valance are on.. Too bad it's nasty out today so I can't go get some better pictures.









Now I desperately need an exhaust to fill those holes.

What type of spoiler is that?

Which is sad, since I spent some $$$ on those rims and those tires.
Sigh.

ah! i sadly agree with you. I had bought the STI wheels with advans (all not cheap) and after a few weeks of them, i ended up selling the set and went back to OEM specs. Just more comfortable and like you said, fun.

Stivo spoiler. If you like it, I recommend you buy the TRD version and have it painted locally. It'll cost a bit more but fit much better.

I'm actually not sure which day I'm going up. It really depends on when most people will be up there. I'm up for either day.

Edit: Did you all meet up this weekend? Pics? I couldn't make it as I was out of town.

From what I remember, the label is just on Google Maps, the actual building was up for sale or whatever.

I'm going to call a toyota dealership this week to see if any around here offer that deal I saw mentioned somewhere else on the site. I think it was if you buy a case of 12 quarts, you get it for about $5 a quart. If I can get that, I'm just going to use the oem oil.

Just a reminder, this coming saturday (May 4th) is the next Cars, Coffee & Karts. Same time, same place. I'll actually have a BRZ then!
