Not rubbing is not rubbing in my book. The only reason for spacers would be if you wanted / needed more camber or wanted to get lowering springs.

Daytona PDX 4/11. New brake pads did great.

Installed Raceseng's Topology shift knob today. The craftsmanship on this thing is amazing and right out of the box you can feel the weight difference. The packaging and instructions were top notch. In hindsight I should have doubled checked if this worked with the kartboy short shifter beforehand - good thing it does...barely. Took about 45 minutes to get it to line up perfect. Still hard to swallow the big price tag on it but we will see how I like it over time.

Subbed. Thread is interesting, nice work.

Did a PDX at Sebring with cfr scca this weekend. Loved the course and I got signed off for solo.

Unrelated to making the car go faster, I did get a 1up bike rack and some custom rods from a forum member. Now I can take the bike places without putting it in the car!

Jackson Racing Oil Cooler installed. Really cool how this thing mounts.

BRZ blue series underbody panels.

Big difference from existing stock ones:

Finally raised my ride height, something i've been putting off for far too long.

Before:

After:

Feels better now and I have added ground clearance.

Ran a PDX with CFR at Daytona last weekend. It was my first time running in the 'solo' group, got passed alot but plenty of fun. It was much better than last time when I ran in the novice group. The solo guys actually know how to give point-bys and pass people.

I did manage to melt a hole in the hanging resonator on the bottom of the air inlet tube.

Here is where it sits originally:

Upgraded to the cosworth inlet tube to fix the issue and prevent it from happening again.
