Nice, I still haven't replaced mine, seems like a lot of work for some reason.
If your images aren't natively landscape format, uploading them through the site's uploader will flip them.

I don't know why my images don't get orientated correctly.

I finally replaced my 10 year old reverse lockout

Some programs make you believe you have reoriented your photo, but I've found that MS Paint will truly lock it in your desired orientation.

I would scratch the hell out of that.
Looks great though.

WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY?

Getting the car ready for a track day at Thunderhill

112k miles but I keep up with my maintenance so I’m hoping my engine won’t blow up. That would be a real shame.

Spun out three times in the first two sessions due to poor driving and possibly improper car setup.

The car seemed to oversteer much more than what I’m used to, and I was not pushing the car. I’m hoping that maybe a change in pads, and double-checking the alignment will fix the issue. I also think a skid pad day would help tremendously.

Out of curiousity do your front tires clear the wheel arch? Sure doesn't look like in the photo.

Surprisingly it does; I’ve never had issues with the tires rubbing on the fender, but I did have to cut out a section of the mudguards to have clearance with 255s.

Didn’t pass smog check, bad obd2 port.

@Dadhawk if you’re not tucking that wheel in you’re not going fast enough.
