on the track: traction mode unless I'm messing around spirited driving: sport + manual mode, traction control on -- there's sometimes gravel or leaves on the side roads that are worth gunning it on errands: everything on in normal/comfort mode

The rotors are staying stock. I'm just looking for pads that have a bit more bite than stock and can handle 5-6 20 minute sessions in a day without fade, but are still street usable.

For those of you with the 3.0 base model, you may or may not already know that the rear rotor is slightly smaller than the 3.0 premium rear rotor. I'm curious if I should have any fitment issues ordering CSG CP or Carbotech AX6 pads, since they don't seem to distinguish on the rear rotors. R1 is...

These are now my winter wheels. I have TS-5s for my summer set.

Gloss black powdercoat. It quickly looked like satin black with the amount of brake dust that collects.

@zrk hits it on the head. On a dealer level, some dealers may work on on systems of modified cars that weren't touched -- for example, my dealer handled a broken emergency trunk release even though I was running several bolt ons since the bolt-ons had nothing to do with the trunk. Others may...

Welcome!

Might be a bit slow for the next couple months with the bad weather

By this logic, a BRZ is an old person's car because it has 3 pedals. Among enthusiasts, there's no correlation between age and pedal count.

AA catted, still no CEL after 6 months.

Mine were quoted to arrive mid-January. Luckily, I'm visiting family, so it's not the worst thing in the world, but it is a long backup time.

Yeah, I got the same vibe watching that video. Not to forget he's specifically focusing on the CS which is even harder to score than a regular M2 or an M2C. Also I'm not buying for one second the part where he was "trying his hardest" but the CS was drifting and keeping up.

KW DDC coilovers came in! They'll go in alongside some aFe sway bars I'm waiting on.

Yeah, he was being a total ass. Sure we could talk about handling mods as a group more, but shaming people for it ain't cool

If you go the coilover route, KW DDC does; it is a more expensive mod though, partially for the name brand and partially for the functionality.

Reflecting a bit more on this, I could attribute some credit to my parents -- they guided me into a lucrative career where I make enough to pay for this car in my 20s. I agree, it doesn't really matter how you got it or what age you are. It's fun to engage with a diverse community and see how...

I can't even imagine what he did to get that sort of premium.

Installed: Cusco strut brace Not installed (waiting for next driving season to do it all at once): aFe sway bars front & rear -> on rare occasion, I've felt bump steer and expect these to help sort that out lighter TS-5s. I went with 19s since I like the ratio between wheel and tire (I know...

I bought a house first to avoid the debt-to-income ratio penalty. Lenders care more for a house than a car. Also, 26 here, and entirely my own money.

I'm on the younger side at 26; software money basically paid for the car at this age, and I don't have familial commitments yet, so I figured now would be a good time to get a sports car before life catches up. The majority of owners in the Seattle area are between 30-50, give or take. Older...
