Same here. I set the beep to sound at 4K rpm so I remember to shift.

These look awesome! Not sold on the price, especially once I convert to CAD monopoly money, but great looking!

Just ordered a set. I'm running out of money.

Quick "wash," added a festive decoration hopefully without marring the trunk/seal area.

then absolutely mangled the front end with some tracwrap while I wait for a shop to get the scans for a clear bra

I changed out my mirror for the auto-dimming mirror and created this video. Here is the post.

I also installed these plugs that were in the trunk.

This weekend I installed the vortex gen and added some red pin striping to the front and rear. Also covered the silver shifter bezel and wheel spoke in carbon.

Finally she is here! What a great looking car in person.

I went for a drive.

I still cannot believe how much grip this thing has on 215s (PS4 tires on my limited). Granted I’ve been driving in dry 80F conditions, but it has SO much more grip than my 2013 on Hankook V12s.

Even with all the TC/ESP off, I can’t break traction in the dry (without driving like an insane hooligan I assume). I’m absolutely stunned what this car can do on such skinny tires.

Hi! Can you please elaborate where exactly was the engine speaker? Im trying to plan the easiest route to remove it and the amplifier/generator for weight savings.

TIA!

I have to agree. Is your car on the primacy's?

Mine's on the Pilot Sports and oh my god, this thing will not break loose unless you go full send, which is never on the street. Super satisfying but with a small hint of disappointment as drifting empty corners and roundabouts at 20mph used to be a favorite pastime.

LancePower · 12-14-2021, 02:30 PM

I also went from an FRS on the Primacies to a BRZ on MPS; the difference is drastic.

Sure. It sits behind the HVAC controls.
