No new wheels @Pbrown ?[/QUOTE]

No Ken, would like to but Just fixing the current ones. Will say though, that if everything comes together the car should look, sound, perform and feel a lot different by the first meet in April. .

Another week of cold shite still, maybe a warming trend after that?
My first mod will be to bake open the Winjet headlights for the D2S projector swap - minimal time in the garage for that one

No new wheels @Pbrown ?

i recommend getting some OSRAM CBI bulbs. I replaced my stock hid bulbs with the CBI and the beam patterns is much wider and there is simply more light output during the dark.

I personally had the Morimoto bulbs in my Mazda 3 and they were perfect, although they were the ones that came with the aftermarket projector so maybe they were made for it.

I've got the one that connects to the throttle body so I don't need to get under the car, but it's been too damn cold.

Which one did you go with John?

Btw, how was your b-day present?

I have the OEM cooler plate from the Forester, but I'm going to connect it to the throttle body instead of the more complicated routing. It's supposed to be a little less efficient, but still better than nothing.

Bday present was such a surprise! Just need to get it ceramic coated now.

You got a keeper there John!

I like the idea of that setup as it acts as an oil warmer for the winter months and a cooler in the summer.

so last week I saw a white brz with gold rims going down strandherd in barhaven, anyone know the owner? looks very nice!

I keep seeing twins here and there only when i go into the city, when i stay in the south end ( the boons ) i never see one, unless i go into my garage and take the covers off mine.

Warmer day today, but im sick as a dog. wondering, how long we have until this stupid white mess goes away

I plan to keep my Scion and keep modding it for many years to come and I hope that the FR-S will be the one and only car I buy brand new. Unless I win the lotto. Then I might trade up to the FT-1

@Pbrown, good to know you are not leaving us not just yet

Just want to be faster than the Honda Accord and BMW 3 series. I would also PM Andre ( Slick) for pricing on both solutions.

what supercharger will you be installing? The innovate one? I'm looking forward to the first meet in spring so I can see the different exhaust setups and compare the perrin 2.5 vs 3 resonated. Don't plan on doing any upgrades till summer time...hopefully I'll have enough $$ saved up.

infamous_s · 02-12-2015, 08:28 PM

So I was driving on the highway today and a Ford pickup cut me off and launched a stone onto my windshield. The windshield is definitely chipped...I'd say it's deeper than a superficial chip. Just wondering what my options are? Could the chip turn into a crack? Does anyone know how much speedy glass would charge to fill it in with their resin?

It will be the vortech supercharger

Had a chip fixed in the fall on the BRZ for 100 at speedy Glass. Insurance picked it up with no deductible.

She's back!

Closer inspection tomorrow but she looks good!
