Good list of stuff for the future. If you do the intake you should get a tune, it'd make a huge difference!
Youre right that wouldnt make much sense haha. Just confused me is all :P

I haven't done much looking into tunes... suggestions?

Depends on what you want. ECUTek has some really cool features available like raising the rev limiter, flat foot shifting, and launch control. It just depends on what you're looking for.

Went drifting for the first time in my life yesterday. Had such a blast! I have a lot of learning to do, but just to be able to go out and rip around the track was a lot of fun.

I have a couple GoPro videos to share. #2 actually happened before #1. I just uploaded them backwards by accident....

#2 is me "drifting" the course that Jesse set up for us. I thik it was a little tight for me since it was my first time which is why I couldnt really get it sideways. I tried... haha

and then they took away most of the cones and let us go out and do whatever... So I just kept going back to that last corner!

[ame]http://youtu.be/MDUEX8cWAT4[/ame]

and a buddy got a pretty cool shot of me on the track

Got some photos finally from King Motorsports Dyno Day, waiting in line for the dyno. I pulled 167 to the wheels... Meh. Lol.





and parked...









And then some from the Madison Subaru Meet... I left with 2nd place in the 2WD class. The white BR-Z took first....

Regarding the square set up of Kojins... You are running new springs but not coilovers, correct? Do you think you would still need the 8mm (?) spacers up front if you switched to coilovers? I know these wheels won't really fit with stock set up but I wonder how it would work with coilovers.

Also, do you notice much of a difference in steering response?

Thanks,

Greg Jensen

Yep Im on S techs right now. I think coilovers would allow for enough room to not need spacers....

Steering doesnt really feel any different than stock to me

A couple of my newest photos of the FR-S.

From the other night, I went out with my strobes hoping to get a cool night photo and couldnt find anywhere with an outlet since I dont have portable power. But I did find this puddle with an amazing reflection




and I finished polishing my shift knob and Cusco drift button this afternoon. So here is what my interior looks like now!
