Truth is I'm living vicariously through all of you since losing the BRZ to a head on collision back in January. No worries a new One is on order so I can start dreaming of mods all over again.

It's cool. I looked at the first link but missed the .5v input thing. It was my fault for not looking thoroughly

Impregnate with carbon by driving behind a poorly tuned diesel vehicle for a while.

Nice even wear.

Don't you HATE that the tread pattern is asymmetrical ( like / / and not / \ ) no matter how much you reverse the tyres on the wheels.

Isnt that so it moves water out instead of right to the middle of the tire?

I put on shockworks coilovers and whiteline 22mm front, 17mm rear sway bars and endlinks on the car last Saturday and got an alignment done yesterday.

Car handles like a damn go cart now. Really happy with the change.

In isolation you are right Itsthebeast. Now consider the pairs of tyres .

What I mean is, looking from behind the car, the left tyre tread should be like / and the right like \ . Same looking from the front. If they are both / / then the friction forces on the road make the car tend to go in circles.

The downside of my preference is that, apart from looks, in the wet, water from each tyre would be shed towards the center of the car causing an enema effect and also tyre roar would be in phase and therefore louder from inside the car.

Why does everything in life have to be a compromise!

Is this doing your head in?

I installed SPC camber bolts today. The rear camber arms will go on in a couple weeks then I'll get an alignment. That's all for today

Where is the mic? I'm guessing somewhere inside the car, the sound is really good. Is it the stock exhaust?

I received the new Aluminum Coolant Overflow Tank from Mishimoto tonight! Man this thing is pretty! If you have ever seen my engine bay you'd understand why I can gets so excited about such a simple part. The OEM overflow tank is so out of place in my engine bay...it will only get worse as the white plastic yellows over time. Cant wait to install it!
