These have 8-10 days on them, mostly at Sebring...still have life left. I'd estimate another 4-5 days. Run 'em til they cord.

I ordered a set, if the production date is fresh, I will be ordering alot more...stocking up for next year.

Car is headed to Speed Syndicate for a full check before Daytona, Sebring, Homestead, Road Atlanta & another Sebring visit over the next few weeks!

Yeah they do get slower once they are 2/3rds done. Or maybe my aero made me slower. Camaro never got slower with them... but torx.

Maybe I'll actually fix my POS by then and we can do some w2w with car contact! lol

Finally made it down to the Homestead-Miami Speedway roadcourse in the BRZ, set a pretty good PB

I like it how you go into 1 and you upshift into 5th!

Been out on track with any newer BRZs? Low hearing (what I assume) are UELs on that car!

I need to keep my foot in it at T10 too!

Stock 2nd Gen BRZ's are similarly quick as a well prepared Gen 1 drivers being equal...aren't many modded 2nd gens out yet...I expect they will be faster.

Yes, JDL UEL with Tomei Type 80....it's loud!

My fingers are still crossed we can pull off a Gen II swap.

Great weekend at Sebring with Chin Track Days and a bunch of 86's! @coolhandluke, @Dave-ROR, @Wrecky_Flowers_, Marco and multiple others!

In order: Fast times, trying out left foot braking, a brush with a tire wall, faster times, then more great laps and a cracked transmission during the Saturday night sessions.

New transmission is ready to be installed...need to get the car to the body shop to fix the wrinkles.....

[Opie]

Great night shot! Post brush w/T5, Pre transmission failure...passing Porsche's....

[NoHaveMSG]

That night shot is bad ass.

[Opie]

Estimate on Sebring damages, including new quarter, trunk lid, 9Lives Wang, Titanium Exhaust & paint....$7,557

Body shop is booked up until Feb 9th! Will asses the tranny issues soon!

[Opie]

Pulled tranny today...something serious grenaded inside, probably due to the curbing that grabbed the tranny mount and bent it back 2 inches jamming the driveshaft into that tailshaft. The resulting binding flexed the case and cracked it in multiple spots resulting in fluid loss. When I drained the remaining fluid all 3, very damaged, no longer round, detent balls fell out along with a bunch brass dust and metallic chunks on the drain plug magnet. Also found both motor mounts broken shifting everything backwards and the Tomei midpipe was dented badly. 34k of track use and the clutch, pp & flywheel looked pretty good and original TOB still spins freely. Even so, all will be replaced when new tranny is installed.

Got the motor mounts replaced and motor realigned where it belongs today, went and grabbed the new transmission out of storage. Ordered new trans mount and exhaust. Should be driving again soon.

Probably gonna send the old tranny to Jack's Transmissions for a full rebuild, gear coating, new rear case and carbon ceramic synchro's.

New tranny including clutch, pressure plate, TOB & Shift fork installed yesterday. New garage tool made the tranny install super easy. New Invidia Full Titanium Exhaust should be here Friday to get it back on the ground for a test drive. So far I've cleaned the gear lube off of half the undercarriage...that stuff is like Frank's Red Hot....
