Torrential rain and HIGE thunderstorm about 5:30pm
Cleared up again around 7

We had a big 20x20 tent and about 7-8 86's with us and at least another 6-8 86's scattered around the show

Still small turn out - weather hotter but no better than the usual May dates

We'll see tomorrow morning after 10:00 if I placed in top 3 - judge was appreciative of how clean my car is in terms of mods. Others here have turbos wheels fenders - but mine was one of cleanest IMHO
Long drive home tomorrow - hope no delay like I saw heading north on 81 on Friday....
Border crossing at Ganaoque was super busy Friday but was in Binghamoton at 12:30 and Carlisle by 4:30 left Ottawa at 8:00am Friday

Got crickets running Sunoco 93 w/ ethanol

Well Ken hopefully all goes well for you tomorrow gl on getting a trophy!

Disappointing really. Saw only one BRZ the whole 10 days I was down there. Lots of new Corvettes though to take away the sting.

Really hope you win Ken. Have to agree, your car is very clean with that carbon body and Tom's tails. Good luck!!!

Hi guys, just found this forum yesterday after I got home from Tony Graham. Bought an asphalt gray manual tranny FR-S. I pick it up no Tuesday!

Was not planning on pulling the trigger but, you know how these things go haha. I've been back and forth for months between an MX-5 and a FR-S, new and used. The deal I got really made the decision easy.

Anyway, I'm pumped to be joining the Ottawa FR-S/BRZ community.

LMFAO!!!! So true though!!!!!

STIMAN · 07-19-2015, 03:51 PM

Thanks guys! I'm pretty excited.

So far I'm not really thinking of doing much to it other than wheels and tires. I'm sure that will change though. The one I got already has tinted windows so that one less thing to do.

Are you routing your break cooling system through these? That would be cool, i'd be interested in doing the same!

I'll most likely be there. Could be a big show if the weather cooperates.

Not quite. Brake cooling is pretty tight to get through from here unless using small hoses and narrower tires (hoses need to get around edge of tires). Also, washer bottle is on driver's side completely blocking that end.

I already have brake cooling ducts set up but have another project in mind.
I may just use the ones I have and hack them up.
