I like my Perrin MC Brace, but I don't feel like it made as much of a difference in pedal feel as it did on my STI. Still worth the small amount of money to get one IMHO.

Made it out to the autoshow posted a bunch of photos on the facebook page if you guys can't make it out. Really the toyota ft-1 took the show despite not having a set in stone drive train. As well all know they really didn't do much to the fr-s or the brz this year and they said the car should have the same body for five years. Mercades are finally becoming affordable and BMW thinks the new m cars are worth their weight in gold. Also I got to watch people let their kids treat a 200k Mercedes like a jungle gym while the parents complained they would only let you look at the Bentley by appointment...

If you plan on slamming the car really low then the Stance coils are made for that. The BC coils are the Super lows for our cars so they can go really low too but they are not valved for that so they will ride a little stiffer. Bryce OAKOS Automotive |

BC's were right behind them, but for the price of the Megan coilovers I just couldn't pass them up. |

Hey guys, I was just wondering if there is anyone around the Midland area? I'd like to meet up with some people once the weather gets nicer!

I want my coilovers to be named Apex Dragon or Touge Terror or something.

There is also and autox event right here in Midland at Barstow Airport. I was looking to get into autox. Never got around to it last year. I'm still reading through the rule book....

Michigan BRZ/FRS Random Chat and spotted thread.
Quote:
Before reading through the rule book, do you have any modifications already? If so what, I or other forum members can tell you what class you'll be in. Then you should ask yourself the question... How seriously do I want to compete to win? Go run an event or two in the spring then reassess the question before modifying your car, or modifying further. Some people get addicted to the sport and the competition and will gladly build a car to the rules. Others like it as an outlet to do something fun in a controlled environment with a car setup for other wants/needs. Both are good reasons to go autocross, but my advice is to run a few events to confirm what camp you are in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So, mods last season were non-existent. This year I'll have: coilovers, wider wheels/tires, lower control arms, subframe bushings, differential bushings, shifter bushings, Perrin steering lockdown kit, short shifter, and possibly a full exhaust minus the header. What class would I be in? I'm not competitive with anyone but myself, so I don't care if they put me in the open cockpit class. :P |
