Maybe you can tell us how much better you've driven that track in your 86?
It's a troll with a PHD lol.
I can think of a few people this could be..

- hellafail dude trying to bump off his hodge-podge fixxer upper for near new car price
- The clueless nub that just wants to see his car burn
- copycat.. aka the guy who's copied the same I/H/E build as me.
- some Zx6 mingers who are into the cars for the attention. I can think of 3

Question: How many WA 86 BRZ ppls does it take to change a lugnut?

LOL I heard about that. I've got the Spoon rigid collar mounts for the ZN6 too!
I guess the guy came around to the philosophy of the Zx6

Ichisama video(screen caps)

Found the vid where Spoon founder is bagging the Zx6 as a 'sporty car' and not a true sports car. Guess he doesn't wanna make the $$$ from the tuner car of the decade.

Oh wow. I wasn't even "trolling" fella. With an attitude like that, I see why you need to work your way through a list of people who may want to have a crack at you though.

DEI Heat Wrap and $3 Stainless Zip Ties

I had a moment of clarity a couple of months ago..
A way to stop my car from sounding like a honduuuh fart can when revving the car past 4krpm in warm/hot weather(car sounds fine in cold weather)...

This


I was supplied FOUR lousy zip ties for $12.00!
$3.00 per zip tie. Might be a better option to get hose clamps for people considering doing a wrap...
I'll post up some updated pics soon!

EDIT(Update)
Just finished the wrap up. Wrapped up near the Y-part of the CBE. I've driven the car with the back seats and fold down seats removed, and all the foam lining in the boot too. Most of the raspiness comes from that section I feel hence the wrap up in that location. Its 5:30am so I haven't had a chance to test drive it. Will do that in a couple of hours. Here's a pic. Its a 15ft long roll of DEI Titanium heat wrap.

Bit more heatwrap

I added some more heat wrap, this time on the bends of the mufflers. A very noticeable improvement in sound and less rasp.
