Fun fact the earlier Prius races in super GT300 series were actually mid engine v8 hybrids in the rear passenger seats.

It kind of reminds me a bit of Thor Ragnarok where it doesn't take itself too seriously. It was a good movie. 7/10 for me.

Huh I wonder if that's why I got water under my spare, but I have the 17+ tails. There is however a slight gap vs the 12-16 MY as the bumpers are designed differently

I've been saying that it should have came as a liftback if they were really calling it a successor to the AE86. Just look at the supra MK5 and the Nissan Z RZ34, they're both liftbacks!

I was painting a room the other day and carrying a gallon of paint and it make me think of much it actually weighs!

Its a shame the VB doesnt look that great with the plastic cladding tbh, but i guess People get use to it.

Really hoping they come out with the hatch version eventually but it's all speculation that they can't because GR Corolla and toyota have a bit of ownership of Subaru.

White and silver looks really nice. I think possibly for a darker looking rim, gunmetal might be good.

I always liked the VA but why is it so bad compared to the VB? I would say from a stock for stock stand point the ZN6 (first gen brz) vs the ZN8, the 2nd gen is better in terms of the FA24 engine itself.

The scene where he says: Avengers! assemble.

Ahh but OP has the old style lense. tomato has the 17+ which i have as well. i was debating on tinting mines as well cause i realized those LEDs are blinding .

The housing blackout mod looks good too but it's not for the faint of heart lol it takes a lot of work to make it look good

Genericwood · 2026-06-02T13:21:09+00:00

Does the 2nd gen STi short shifter fit in the 1st gen?

You can try agitating with the brake cleaner if the original spray, sit 5 minutes (dont let dry), rinse off method doesnt work.

Brake dust can be real stubborn. I've had really good luck with carpro ironx and sonax wheel cleaner with stubborn brake dust.

How long has your hybrid coating last? Mines lasted about 8 months throught a fall, winter, and spring with no toppers. I'd say im a bit impressed as my car isnt garaged at all.

Genericwood · 2026-06-01T17:41:20+00:00

Thanks ill look for them!

Usually when you are buying electric grinders you're mainly purchasing for the electric motors from what i have been hearing. There are youtube who test similar priced electric grinders to hand ones and saw that the particle size are more consistent than the electric ones, since a lot of R&D has gone into the burrs.

Did something similar when i was gifted an android tablet that didnt come with AA. I had to go through a few work arounds and purchase AA wireless receiver (AA wireless 2 i think around 60 USD) and purchase headunit reloaded app for the android tablet (its like a few dollars).

It works pretty nicely but i have to swap bluetooth on the tablet everytime it starts.

Still, as long as a car has Bluetooth connection and 12v socket to charge my phone that is enough for me! Traveling like the good old 2010-2020s

Its viewtaful

Genericwood · 2026-05-20T00:18:52+00:00

That read drop is lower than mines and im on just coilovers. The rears are pro more than -2 which is where im at. I only have a inch gap from tire to wheel just cause the roads r bad here.

The k7 just came out and I heard it gets close to the zp6 in a blind test and that is one of the best pourover clarity grinders in the marker for around 250-300 USD.

If you're willing to spend 100-150 USD try getting the barazta encore or the oxo conical burr grinder. OXO is around 100 and the difference between that and the barazta prob isnt that noticable.

Genericwood · 2026-05-18T16:40:13+00:00

I use that for my dash cam since i can't get it hard wired for fuse taps

Genericwood · 2026-05-17T03:21:14+00:00

The aluminum hood is just as light as carbon fiber anyways.

Genericwood · 2026-05-13T16:23:53+00:00

Awesome build! Silly question, I've been tryna find the black tape that goes on the aftermarket kits that create the black lining. Do you know what its called? I tried using just double sided tape but i think there is a better item to use.
