Dodged two tickets.
Went through a bank parking lot and when turning into the drive-thru I squeeled the tires a little. Leave there and in the same lot next door is a Walgreens where I was grabbing some candy next.
As I walk up to the door of the Walgreens a sheriff is parked up front and asks me if he can talk to me. He then tells me the tire squeeling is a reckless driving ticket and I have a license plate cover which is another one.
He didn't give the tickets but said a lot of his fellow officers would have. I told him I would ditch the cover as I don't want to attract trouble for the next one that is in a bad mood. It was 9 pm and the lot was empty
so giving a ticket really would have been a huge d*ck move on the other one. Doing donuts or driftting I can see.... Luckily not all police are angry at the world and I ran into a calm one who had real crimes to deal with.

I squeal my tires all the time. that's part of the joy of stock tires. Drive in a parking deck with a smooth surface and it's hard not to.

Installed steering rack lockdowns and the STi steering bolts/spacers/nuts.
This was more effective than I thought it would be.

We drove our FR-S around the 370 square mile Mt Rainier National Park, with a day long, unobstructed by clouds view, of the 14,400 foot high, snow capped mountain.

Isn't that what these cars are for ??

Is that the Perrin kit or something else?

switched to motul after a year of redline, 2nd to 3rd is much smoother will have to wait for the winter because i heard redline shifts better in the cold, Fluid was very clean and little to no metal on the drain plugs

Completed a pre-track day inspection.

Tomorrow is the first day I'll be on my RS-3's so it should be interesting and a great learning experience compared to stock tires.

Installed this fairly overpriced piece of metal today

Feels much better, closer to my miata's pedal setup that I learned manual on.

Brings the accelerator an inch closer to the driver and some mm closer to the brake pedal to make heel-toe easier.

That would be the $25 and not $90 Perrin version: https://www.ebay.com/i/283033811714?ul_noapp=true

I really want one of those, but its hard to justify spending so much for just a chunk of machined aluminum lol
