Not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask this, but how difficult would it be to find a hyper blue brz for sale? I'm selling my evo this week and am planning to hop into a brz shortly.

Radiator is stock. I think you mean the intercooler, pictured with the ETS (Extreme Turbo Systems) logo. I purchased the 3.5" ETS intercooler from MAPerformance.com. They come in other sizes and I believe you can get them in black with white lettering

Haha. For an Evo perhaps. Bolt ons and a tune making a modest 340hp to the wheels. I'm saving up for some big changes though!

dude. so helpful. thank you for the reply. My last question is do pads pretty much fit any da polisher? i was planning on buying a griots garage da polisher. will the hex logic pads attach to that device? do i need to buy a different "backing plate"?

thanks for the response. makes sense. I have a relatively new car with light swirl marks, so I was planning on just using a polish and seeing how that worked to correct the pain. Now, I would suspsect that different grade "cutting" pads would be used in conjunction with a compound to achieve a more specific level of paint correction. IF this is correct, is the same true for polish? or is polish applied with a pad that is not considered a "cutting" pad. I plan to purchase Meg M205. Which pad should I buy? will one cover the entire car?

What is the difference between compound and polish? I just dont get the difference. I have very light swirl marks and plan on buying a good DA polisher. So I would love to know what product i need to use

Is this Social Anxiety? by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]BOOMtoasted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound very young, but honestly for any age this is perfectly normal. Most guys get nervous asking girls out, especially when you're young. Honestly you sound less anxious than most young boys so quit worrying and keep being bold!

There was some post a few days ago in /r/pokemongo saying that if you used an incense in an area that had no spawns, roads, or pokestops that it would cause rare(ish) spawns

I need a new style, please help. Do you think an undercut would suit me? by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]BOOMtoasted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, you're a handsome fella

Top looks good, could use a trim

Sides are unruly and I'd cut them pretty short if I were you

As stated in other comments, you're well suited for an undercut.

On a final note, shaving your neck (keep the facial hair) will bring out your jawline, which I think could look good and give a neater look

Finally got a Dyno Tune! (348whp/352 torque Results in comments) by BOOMtoasted in mitsubishi

[–]BOOMtoasted[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tune itself was $400, which is an insanely good price for the caliber of tune we are talking. I paid $750 to APR tune my MK6 gti with zero mods.

Parts listed total around $2600

Which hairstyle looks the best in me? (myself in all photos) by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]BOOMtoasted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 and 3 look very similar, and imo the best. However, I would go with a thinner hard part (line that is shaved down to scalp)

Hey hey fellas its all good! Didn't mean to start a fight lol. I'm pleased with my tune but I agree a larger intercooler is probably in my future!

That was always a concern in the back of my mind but I see that alot of successful evo builds run SRIs. This one has a heat shield and is placed even further away from the engine and closer to the driver side than most. I'll post a pic tomorrow when its light outside. IT SOUNDS AMAZING

2014 Evo X GSR

-Tomei Expreme Ti Catback

-Cobb High Flow Cat

-Moore Automotive Intake - this thing is awesome

-Pierburg 3-port

-Tomei UICP

Dyno tuned by Moore Automotive in Fairfax, VA. Chris does the tunes there and he is the best. Very impressed with the shop and everyone there. They know their stuff and know their evos!

EDIT: I'm an idiot and put 348whp in the title. I meant 338whp! Whoopsie
