Mod #2 since getting the car and first purchase direct from Japan with an amazing 4 day delivery time!

This was easy peasy, lemon squeezy to install (~20mins) where the only fiddly bit was holding a nut under the wheel arch while screwing a bolt into it from the top of the strut with the wheel still on. The solution is a bit of double sided tape with the nut stuck onto the end of your finger.

I feel I am now on the slippery slope towards mod-a-geddon ending with the wife divorcing me.. šŸ˜‚

Also, looks like the weather may soon be warm enough to put the CF spoiler on thatā€™s been sat here for what feels like 10,000 years.

Final thoughtā€¦

That engine cover really should be CFā€¦ donā€™t ya think?? šŸ˜

PS Does this strut brace actually do anything other than look goodā€¦ I have my doubts.. šŸ¤” (my car is a 2020 which had no struts brace fitted at all)

def looks good. It DOES help stiffen the chassis. Will you notice?- doubt it.

Took advantage of my free track day! This was my first time on a race track and it was great!

I realized that this car is way faster than Iā€™ll ever be, and that I absolutely suck at picking out the racing line šŸ˜‚

Awesome. All that comes with seat time. Just enjoy

Yesterday was definitely a mental re-set for me. I need more seat time, I'm going to prioritize that over mods to the car since I need to fix the "driver" first to really match up with the car.

You should get a CF cover. If you ordered from rhdjapan. Their stuff is decently priced and sometimes will have random discounts. Add more parts to the cart.

My first track day was last year in March with the free Toyota one. 1 year of seat time later with 20+ autocross events, 1 more track day, and a racing simulator and I've made crazy progress. The only mod I've made in this comparison video is a front sway bar. I've run OEM tires on both of these and I had a damp track this year. Put in the time and it'll more than pay off rather than mods.

Yup, Carmigo is 100% trash. All they add is noise here. They add literally nothing of substance.
Ouch. that hurts to hear. Thanks for the feedback though. We will try to change up our approach. Are there any suggestions as to what we could contribute?

Carmigo: "Great post. Keep at it."

Honestly can't see any benefits to their business on here with how annoying/unnecessary their comments are.
Sorry to hear this. We will take that feedback and do our best to provide more valuable comments.

I REALLY like those wheels and especially on our car colour!

They are the first aftermarket wheels I have seen pics of that I could actually see myself buying one day. I bet they ainā€™t cheap!!

I guess you have your car lowered a bit? And spacers too?

~ Thanks!

Yep Iā€™m obsessed with the new Vossen 20ā€ VFS6 wheels as well. No regrets ditching black wheels (just much easier to keep clean) along with dust-free ceramic brake pads. No spacers neededā€¦ just the correct offset.

Yes Iā€™m slightly lowered on Eibach Euro Z4 springs at just .8ā€ drop front and rear. I didnā€™t want the slammed look. Cheers!
