Still on the winters? Grip levels must be hilarious at times.

Yes, but it does what I need and isn't at all restrictive

The rears I don't think could be called winters at this point Even 4th spins when boost ramps in, I'll be throwing the summers on as soon as average temps are above 40-50... so May, haha

I stared at it again. Loving the new louvers but hating the mismatched paint. I think the rear bumper is from a BRZ and from the first 17k miles before I owned it.


I see a red car and I want it painted black...


I wouldn't mind red but it's mismatched and there's use to being on the other end of the visibility spectrum.

Not aware of variations but maybe, Iunno.



Almost looks not filthy in this pic. The camera is kind to cars.

Well, not all today, but between last Saturday and yesterday, I got the right side axle out and repacked and installed Raceseng camber plates.

Next Saturday, it's off to the alignment shop, then a maintenance brake bleeding and a bath. Then, it will be ready for Summit Point at the end of the month.

Ewww that’s one poor paint match indeed. Reminds me of a local Suzuka blue s2000 with a badly matched hood. It’s hard to unsee it.

It’s a shame though as I like the bumper’s red better
