Raceseng lugs. The craftsmanship is absolutely exquisite and pictures don't do these justice.

No doubt there's nothing better than these lugs that cost more than the wheels themselves!

I dropped off he heads and stuff at IAG today

Swapped in a basic rear-view mirror and mounted a mirror based “dash” cam to it and mounted the included rear camera on the back window.

Also, drove the car in the rain for the first time. The grip pads on pedals are garbage. Foot slid off the clutch pedal twice.

I launched my BRZ and my already overdue clutch started slipping on takeoff. So today I put it on jackstands, took the skidplates off, and I'm waiting for my Exedy OEM replacement

I have been using Battery Tenders. They have not been an issue on the other vehicles they are used on. Recently I have changed to a Schumacher dual output charger / maintainer. This works well as two cars are parked one over top of the other on a stacking lift. Time will tell.

Installed today. Main reason was for easier maintenance, but first drive seemed to have reduced torque on low rpm. Let’s see how it goes after a week or so.

I hope you remembered to remove the plastic bag before installation...the car just don't like the plastic bagged filter..

lol. Not that stupid. The change is not so drastic, maybe is a confirmation bias stuff instead of an issue. No real data to backup what I am saying.

I went from HKS drop in to the Takeda CAI with a tune, the car does feel like it wants to rev.

Maybe a tune is the next step...I was thinking in OFT as a starter, but also like flex fuel solutions. Still not sure.
