Do it on a weekend and I am in for a dyno day. And possibly a tune if it's on a pay day weekend

I'm gonna see about getting her opticoated, the car, not my gf, so it looks purdy for this weekend.

The gf has already telling me that i was spending too much time with the car, and that I smile every time i look at it. when we went out to eat Sunday i had to find a place in the restaurant to sit that gave me a direct line of sight to the car, she didn't realize that till she turn around and saw the car and just laughed and said "really babe!?" All in all shes happy I got it ^_^
What kind of springs are you getting? KW coilovers?

Yeah, the drive, the scenery...can't wait. Looking at my calendar, Dec. 8 looks good right now for a recon (weather permitting). I'm down for a solo trip on that day or if any others are interested we can meet-up somewhere. Would be nice if someone who has already done the Twisted Sisters would take the lead!

LOL....yeah, that's how it all starts my friend, first time I saw my wife she was at the pool in a bikini in an apartment complex a friend was at, second time was at a party (was introduced) and she came over sat in my lap and inquired if I'd be interested in installing a new stereo in her car. Oh well, one thing led to another...the tune up, the dinner, moving in, etc.!!! Her stepdad used to say I chased her until she caught me.

Do the same. Dittos. And, park way at the edge of the lot so doors don't ding the car from idiots who don't give a sheet!

I just haven't had time to join the forum and jump on. My buddy who just got his firestorm red frs a couple days ago turned me onto this forum. Would love to meet up with y'all someday and kick it with peeps who share the same love for cars. Anyways I am unfortunately working in the RGV down by Mexico right now but I do go back up and visit my folks and friends whenever I can. Anyways I'll try and post pics of my car and the mods I do as well.
Congrats, man! May I say, you have fine taste when it comes to choosing an automobile. My SWP came from South Carolina but, flew there and drove it back!

You definitely have my attention. A lot of us like the fact that you are local and if your tune prices are competitive it's a no brainer that you'll be able to earn our business! I was traveling down 725 the other day (probably when you were in Vegas) and almost came by your shop to chat but, passed up Zipp Rd. Will try it again next time I'm over that way.

Did you get it installed yet? I wanna see!!! I'll be spectating Sunday, too.

Put this GrimmSpeed MCB mod on a couple of days ago...don't know if it is just the placebo effect but, seems like brake pedal feel is a bit firmer! Installation is a breeze. Pre-loaded it about half a turn to snug it up tight. After seeing the video of how the firewall moves when braking, I'm very happy with this mod. YMMV

Hello, San Antonio! I'm proud to say I am now a Subaru BRZ owner and thanks to @Extreme86 came to this thread. He posted pictures of my Lighting Red BRZ some posts ago. Looking forward to meet with some of you at some point and hear about your experience with this amazing car. I've been so busy lately I haven't really been able to enjoy it :/ but I already have plans for my exhaust (Greddy SP elite!!!) I know will sound marvelous. See you guys around!

Toyota 0W20 synthetic. I got it at North Park Toyota for around $6/quart after the coupon on their site. They have the OEM filter there for cheap too.
