I can't wait myself. Still waiting for a couple of suspension components to come in, and for the snow to stop falling.

I'll also cross post them in the wheel thread:

As for that lake, you are a bold individual!

I love how the LED's work with these cars. I've done full LED swaps (except head lights and tail lights) in three cars now and it's something I will always do to my vehicles.

Ice on the lake that day was around +24" thick after several weeks below -20degC. That day was the second day of +14degC and there was a fair bit of water on top of the 24" thick ice. I was there with a friend who owns a 2014 FR-S and teaching her how to feel weight transfer into understeer/oversteer and also throttle steering. I was on studded winter tires so I had a much easier time of it compared to her non-studded winters.

I installed the BlackVue DR550GW-2CH. It feels like it has a larger barrel mount than the DR500 which I offloaded tonight. this made it exceptionally difficult to hide it in the same location so I had to move it over a touch. Now it sits in plain view and mildly obstructs the sun visor, but at least it clears the damn mirror for every driver's rear view mirror position.

Looks awesome. Can't hardly wait to get my supercharger on next weekend.

It's just *awesome*.
You won't be able to stop smiling.

AvoJDM sent me the wrong steering wheel. This one is more expensive, but also has the transition from leather to slippery shit and I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with a change in texture when the sparks are flying. The wheel diameters match, but the AvoJDM version has more meatier grips. Good god, it's pretty:


New Lathe Werks shift knob from Cagare... which suits the interior nicely. Makes me think it will be unnecessary to change the silvery bits out for the darker Japanese Ts versions:


The Robispec top hats look awesome if you want to roll close to the ground. I don't, so these have been replaced by the stock rear top hats. Instant bump up another 20mm at the tallest KW setting. The rear is now sitting at 345mm from centre to fender. I could drop another 10mm and still look okay.


Actually starting to get pretty fast at this:


Spinning collar lug nuts... to protect them gorgeous wheel:

Ride height II:




Consequences of ignoring them rubbing noises... in the top right you can see the fender liner has worn through:


Eased up on the front camber so I can get the car to VEX to get it finished off.
