I saw a white fellow owner on 620 that turned into O'Connor by the HEB. Anyone on here? It was too far to tell if it was an fr-s or brz.

Formula One Pinnacle 30% Ceramic all around. $349 out the door from Sunbusters off Research Blvd and Duval. Lifetime warranty, fantastic quality and the heat reduction is already noticeable.

Check out the view from inside. So clear!

If you guys haven't gotten the Rexpeed Wide Mirrors yet from @FT-86 SpeedFactory you are missing out. These things are AMAZING for blind spot watching. It's literally gone and these add a very nice touch of blue.

Heads up for anyone else looking for some driving shoes on a decent price (like I have been for months) - the Puma store at Round Rock outlets has an excellent selection of their motorsports line. They also have at least a dozen different styles without the damn Ferrari logo they seem to throw on most of their line. At least last weekend, almost every single pair was also half off so I walked out with two brand new, comfortable and stylish driving shoes for less than $100 total. The Famous Footwear place also had some good Rockport driving loafers (which I can wear to work) for only $50 - half off Amazon prices.

This morning was very 86

-----

Puma store is legit and their driving shoes are comfortable...But they do not have any grip when walking around in the wet and like to slide around on the pedal unless you hit it just right.

Edit: Wow they did a great job on that back window...

What are your plans for going to the june 22 3sisters run? leave early to get to the starting point at 8:30 or the night before? I'll probably leave early. If anyone wants to caravan down together, that will be cool. I don't know the roads very well west of Austin so I'll probably take the fastest and most straight forward way there unless if you have other suggestions and want to lead.

Rabble · 05-31-2013, 12:03 PM

I can lead a group out there following this route...It looks kinda fun actually, nice curves...

If they are going to run at 8:30 then we would need to be on the road by 6 because this route takes about 2.25 hours. I've asked if they would consider going later so we wouldn't have to wake up so early.

We could also just take I-35 but it will probably have more cops and traffic, takes the same amount of time per google.

Rabble · 05-31-2013, 12:08 PM

We've also got to try out this one that's a bit closer to home

radroach · 05-31-2013, 08:29 PM

Hi guys, I'm staying in downtown austin tonight, stock GBS brz with me, does anybody want to go driving tonight? Hit me with a PM

Got tails painted and love them. Can look in my build for more info, but I think they look great and will only look better after a good polish in a few weeks.

I happened across HillCountryGuru on I35 yesterday and I must say that I am very impressed with the mods he's done with his car. Everything looked really good but the Valenti Tail Lights stood out the most.

Seriously, the stock tail lights are hideous compared to what the aftermarket has come up with.

Kind of late, but shout out to the ultramarine FR-S on Parmer that waved to me this past Saturday. Don't know if you saw us waving back lol.

autobrz · 06-05-2013, 11:21 AM

Got an alignment done at the firestone on parmer and mopac yesterday. The tech Robert was willing to align it to exactly where I wanted. I also told him to ignore front camber (i installed camber bolts). I got the lifetime alignment because I figure I would want to check and correct it at every oil change. It will also come in handy if I decide to do any suspension mods.

If you autocross (I haven't done in a really long time), it might be a good deal for you. The guy I always go to is Augy but he wasn't there for my appt. Robert was just as good though.
