Cali is about to get some bad weather. I heard 3 winter storms back to back starting tomorrow. Anticipating a foot of rain :eye bulge:

The weather is not cooperating... rain rain rain. Thursday looks like the only dry day and I have some plans already, then leaving for Hawaii on Friday and won't be back for a week... argh!

I'm thinking of planning a Portland adventure... scavenger hunt thing.

it's sunny now! my first dry day in the BRZ.

Nice shop!

I might have to come by and exercise that lift of yours - do you let girls in your man cave?

I was a Subaru mechanic in the late 80's and have a ton of tools mostly Mac and SnapOn, so might even have something to contribute.

Pretty interesting discussion going on here about fog lights. More importantly, about how we can frankenstein them together ourselves with various parts, such as Toyota's bezels with Subaru glass foglights along with a Toyota steering wheel stock as an oem switch. I am totally interested since Scion is boring me to death with the wait on our fogs. What does everyone else think??

OK, so if I grab a case...

Looking to get my new BRZ OptiCoated. Need a garage for that, you able to host? Might be a good time to let other folks come see the process and ask the guru questions. OptiCoat by http://tdekany.com/ (thanks to this forum)

OK, guys, I am back from Hawaii and trying to catch up on all of my emails/topics, etc.

Tomorrow at 1p I am going to help Nick install his coilovers at the shop. Anyone who wants to join is invited.

Chen, I am really good with automotive wiring. Let me know what you need.

ducatichick, yes, you could use my shop for your opticoat, no prob.
