Just out of curiosity, how do you like the Tomei 80r? Especially with it as a daily driver? Any drone/ annoyance?

DarkCard · 12-29-2013, 02:38 PM

Your brz looks amazing, quality setup right there

DaiTT500 · 12-29-2013, 04:12 PM

To be completely honest... It's pretty loud. More so than I wanted it to. Does it bother me tho? Not really. I've got a pretty high tolerance on how loud a car should be. I do however keep it pretty low for everyday driving (still it's not my daily driver) and open up only when I need to. On freeway (I cruise at about 69-70 most of the times), it drones pretty loud and sometimes I wish I had a pair of ear plugs.

They are from APR Performance. I believe they're about $300 after tax (in California).

Thanks! These are actually 17x9.5 +40. When I first heard about these RTs back in January from Tokyo Auto Salon, I knew I had to get a set! I originally wanted to get a set of TE37SL in mag blue, but I just couldn't pass up on these burning red!

Thank you! I'm in the process of moving to Tustin at the moment and should be all settled in by mid-February.

Do you ever come out to Irvine meet? I'll try to make it out on the 4th if you do.

Since you gave me those ghey color stickers, I'm only obligated to run those until you make the delivery.

But seriously tho', I have a new idea about body decal. Get at me, yo.

Congrats on your new car! And yeah, definitely try to come out! I know the drive from LA can be kinda far, but it'll be worth it to come meet the guys. We're all very friendly.... I think.

Haha
