Random Thoughts - Part III The Search for Spark (No Politics)

Didn't get the excrescence stuck on my FR-S either.

If you're on a high speed race track it might do something and help scorch the transfer cases faster.
The Corolla is more of an off road rally tool though, where aero down force isn't so crucial.

In the shopping mall, looks like the owner is a flat brim vape bro.

But that's a personal thing. Personally, looks like ass.

Yeah, I can't help but see a shopping cart at certain angles. Lol.

For me, I'd like an actual spoiler, but something that looks OEM/OEM+. Not having a spoiler right now makes it look like it's missing something.

I was going to say it looks like a handle of some sort but I couldn't figure out where I had seen it. Nailed it!


I'm with @bcj on function. Worthless anyhow.

LOL. Weekly Costco runs make you look at shopping cart handles.

Yeah, this is the one car I'm not really modding. Just the ZR10 wheels I got, drop in filter, and now just looking for a nice spoiler.

The Beelink NUC showed up finally and I got it up and running.
Stuffed in Linux to dual boot Friday and loaded up gvim, gimp, inkscape and fixed the bookmark tabs in Firefox yesterday.

Wheee! I've got a useful unix system again!
Been waiting years to beable (sic) to buy computing hardware at all.

I'll worry about loading up compilers and parsers next week.

I'm disappointed that they changed their initial spoiler design and made it more aggressive and higher. Just trying to see if I should fork out $1,400 (yeah, shipping from Japan is stupid expensive). I don't want to run the same spoiler everyone else is. lol

Not sure if it's just in my end, but I'm not seeing the image anymore.

I quite like it, as it looks like it came off a WRC car. I wouldn't pay $1,400 for it though.

I have seen those headers mentioned but to my understanding they may be way too loud.

Tomei appears to use slip fittings which I've had enough of for one build. Plus it's more expensive.

HKS 4-1 is more expensive with worse collectors, shorter primaries, and not rotational firing order.

HKS 4-2-1 has all the same problems plus seems to be out of production.

Borla seems to only have uel anymore. And even then it's got the same problems as HKS.

Not sure what would make headers themselves loud with the rest of the exhaust being stock. Maybe the pipes are thinner? It's hard to find actual specs online and the person on the other side of the phone didn't know anything.

That was my justification for the wheels and filter, not "real" mods
