did you peel the existing pedal cover off with pliers? Took me good 10-15 mins of pulling and twisting

I don't think you are supposed to do that. The Cusco one just fits over the existing pedal.

It is much easier to install if you remove the front seat (or the pedal assembly).

Try running the camera in aperture priority. Then shoot somewhere between f8-f11 if you have good light. Let the camera handle the shutter speed for you. I only shoot full manual in low light.

First track day in the new BRZ, doesn't look half bad up against some of the other cars

[IMG][/IMG]

2 Sessions in the rain in the morning, 2 sessions in the dry in the afternoon at Thompson Speedway. Was a blast and the car did great in both wet and dry.

I actually passed the viper several times in the twisty part of the track but he would always come back and get me on the front stretch.

Got an alignment. Glad to finally have the toe in spec so I'm not burning up my tires.

I went with Hotchkis springs.

Look into Swift springs also, they drop "1.1 I believe.
