soon we will have enough SWP BRZs in Austin that we can start our own exclusive club (seems to be the color of choice for BRZs, but not FR-S, here)

It just confirms that everyone agrees it a beautiful color! We could do with a little diversity though! No WRBs? There has to be at least one since Austin Subaru sold one shortly after my SWP. I still haven't seen one of the dark gray metallics anywhere! With being all whites people are going to start saying were racist LOL

Now why would you go and do a thing like that? I'll be back in town day after tomorrow. There will be lots of WRB rubber being burnt as soon as possible.

Atleast you can burn rubber I did did a bit of tire shredding earlier and let's just say my ECU hated it. Cam obviously was locked too far open and my engine just kept choking itself out after I would start it. Almost got stuck in the Raising Cane's parking lot. Had to clear the ECU, again, as a temporary fix to get me home. Runs fine now but still ...

... I really need to get the replacement ECU. It's so bogus though.

Luckily I always carry tools in my car, so yarg
