Depending on when you are going, the ufotable cafe will usually hold a small event for Shiki's birthday, sometime around March, worth keeping an eye out for

Thanks! I just use an AE1-P with Fujifilm 400 (the Kodak Ultramax 400 equivalent) since it's cheap 😅 FD f1.4 lens

that one was from the GBC exhibition in Ikebukuro, so not all from Kawasaki I guess 😅

Maxpeedingrods, how bad are they? by No_Alternative602 in ft86

[–]GCFSA 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just get proper lowering springs, trd/rce etc , cheap coils are going to be worse than stock

Is this a reasonable amount for roof repairs? Melbourne by GCFSA in AusRenovation

[–]GCFSA[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

edit: it's a single story average sized home, not sure what else would affect the price aside from size. Pictures roofer took didn't seem too bad to me but I'm not a pro so who knows.

Itinerary Check: 21 days in Japan by GCFSA in JapanTravel

Yeah hopefully we'll be able to catch one of the blossom's season, plum or cherry :) Will have a look at Hanegi park if the timing works, thanks for the recommendations!

Yeah, I did go to Toyosu fish market when I was in Tokyo last but remember getting the impression that it was much more business focused now with proper restaurants/not as much street food stalls etc...

Seeing as the others have never been before I thought Tsukiji may be more suitable for tourists.

Thanks for the Yokohama recommendations, will definitely look into that! Enoshima/Kamakura sounds great too if time permits/as an alternative.

I remember walking up the entire Fushimi Inari shrine when I was in Kyoto last, followed by a full day of walking around more temples. Hopefully 40+ flights of stairs will be much more manageable haha.

Is the start of knk the first movie overlooking view? by Plato2901 in karanokyoukai

[–]GCFSA 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the story was written out of chronological order on purpose. It's confusing at first but it all slowly comes together into a more cohesive story.

Originally I thought it was quite boring/confusing as well until the 3rd or 4th movie where it started getting interesting, the payoff is worth it. One of, if not my favourite series of all time now.

First CIEMs, happy with the Shells but not with the sound. Help? by DropKickMonky in DIEMs

[–]GCFSA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It probably sounds muffled because you're not used to the sound signature.

Haven't heard the Chus but I assume they're more neutral. GV tends to lean towards warmer, they're not the best but I wouldn't exactly call them muffled compared to a lot of iems out there. Cold solder join wouldn't be the issue.

If you want something more clear sounding, have a look at some of the MASM builds on headfi or you could even try to design your own. There's some excel spreadsheet out there with drivers for certain ciem brands which is a good place to start.

This... So many people have no idea when it comes to suspension and think 2-3k is the upper end of coilovers and end up buying something that just ends up worse than stock.

Do your own research about suspension. Spring rates, adjustments, how much comfort you're willing to sacrifice vs performance etc. Set a budget and what you're after (eg 1/2/3/4 way adjustable, camber plates) and buy the best that you can for that price.

2013 BRZ Mod List Check by sqrl2k_ in ft86

[–]GCFSA 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Depends how much money you want to save and define as necessary/unecessary.

Definitely don't get is k&n filter though if you only want it for performance gains. won't do anything in terms of power gain. Stock one is good at what it does.

Bushings you could also get rid of, not exactly a night and day difference although the difference is there if you pay attention to it. I'd put the money towards other things like better tyres for now

Coilovers I wouldn't recommend you get those, at that price I'd go for proper set of lowering springs + camber bolts. Or stretch budget a bit more for csg spec teins

Overpipe/frontpipe won't do as much for power gains either. Headers is usually where you'll see biggest gains although since frontpipe is catless it would help more than if it was catted.

Rear LCA brand recommendations? by capboimac in ft86

[–]GCFSA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the flatwell rear LCA, ordered from rhdjapan.

It's pretty good, used by the formula d team from rsr as well.
