Thanks! The shots in the previous post were done by another photographer with a mirrorless camera. I'll have to get the specs from him.
All of the other shots are done by myself with my meager little Canon T3 also, 86th post wooo Also, I'm gonna highjack this post in the past and make an update I never made... 2017/08/21 I did my first track day at VIR! It was an absolute blast. The event was NASA Md-Atlantic's Aug 19-20, 2017 – DAN UNKEFER MEMORIAL VIRginia International Raceway (3.3mi full course). I still don't have any glorified metrics system set up, but I did use Harry's Lap Timer to record my laps: Here's one of my Sunday sessions: [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCB_SVJK1kE&[/ame] Fastest lap of the weekend was my last recorded lap: 02:25:95. Not a great time, but I'm content with it for my first go! I was thankful to have @lufty as a fantastic driving coach.

Absolutely gorgeous! Was planning to get same taillights and gold rims on my GBS brz which essentially is the same color as ultramarine but bit hesitated if it matches well on the dark blue car. You totally sold me! I think dark blue really goes well with the gold rims and all red taillights :-)

It snowed a little bit out here. I have some toys in the mail I'm pretty excited about, too.

Has it been this long? I haven't updated this thread in ages. Updated the OP with some little updates, and here's some detail.
I'm all out of free oil changes from my local dealer, so I'm now doing them myself. Just did a fresh oil change with full synthetic Mobil 1 0W-20. Unsure if I'll use 5W30 or something else for AX/Track season. Fumoto valve incoming. Speaking of oil, an oil cooler is in the works. New wheels have been purchased to daily on. They will be wearing the tires that are currently on my TWS wheels. The TWS wheels will be dedicated to AX/track duty, and will likely be wearing 200TW 265/35/18 Hankook Ventus RS-4's. While these are not RE-71Rs, they should last me far longer. Enough talk, here's some photos (taken before I removed the front plate): https://www.flickr.com/photos/toadsy...7668970251887/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/toadsy...7668970251887/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/toadsy...7668970251887/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/toadsy...7668970251887/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/toadsy...7697972542251/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/toadsy...7697972542251/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/toadsy...7697972542251/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/toadsy...7697972542251/ I also got better at taking pictures.

This is long overdue. I need to stop abusing my Michelin Pilot Supersports at autocross/on the track, so a second set of wheels and tires are in order. I managed to purchase these (used!) wheels on FT86Club classifieds, as I did my TWS wheels. My TWS T66-F's are going to become my track wheels, and the tires for those just arrived today. The Advans will be my new daily wheels, wearing the tires that were on the T66-F's. I used this opportunity to go ahead and lower my front suspension and get a racing alignment.
Alignment specs:
And photos, because that's why we're all here. https://www.flickr.com/photos/toadsy...7677531013487/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/toadsy...7677531013487/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/toadsy...7677531013487/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/toadsy...7677531013487/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/toadsy...etaken-public/

I've started giving a bit of a summary in parts on my website. I published the first portion yesterday:
https://gkubed.com/2022/04/19/the-sc...rly-ownership/ p.s., I've since wrecked the car at Summit Point pretty badly, but I'm fixing it to be better than it's ever been against all sound judgment.

Enjoyed your series, thanks for sharing..
That is a really good looking combination, LOVE the Ultramarine with the flat gold TWS wheels. And the ride height is perfect (aesthetically at the very least). Wish you had made the choice to remove the front plate sooner. As cool a personalized tag as it is, it still takes away from many of the beautiful photos of your ride.. P.S. - Assuming this wheel tire combo (TWS T66-F 18x9.5 +45 w/ Michelin Pilot Super Sports 265/35/18) will only fit with coilovers?
