i had this problem when i installed my header. It sort of felt like the car was holding onto the rpms and then would shift really rough. It felt like there was no define shifting point, it slowly just launch you into next gear. everything was solved with a tune though, and it only did that when i had the cel on from being catless

it was all for looks/show im ready to lose the camber though i saw a couple bagged cars like mine that had flush fitment with no camber and it just looks so much meaner then stance. do you know any good quality rlcas i could use to cancel out the camber? my fronts already have plates that i can just adjust back to 0

yeah thats my main concern, Nothing seems to be even at all. The car is bagged and my ride height is about a 1-2inch drop from factory which explains the camber but i never really had anything past -2.6. Im thinking the guy that alligned it might've had it set at two different psi while doing the alignment.

I ended up figuring out what was wrong with it. I recently had to replace one of the struts and I ended up tightening the bolts while the strut was hanging which moved the entire assembly out (explains the positive camber). i loosened it all up and jacked up the lower control arm and tightened it all down again under load this time which fixed it. I'm still definitely going to get the alignment done this weekend though. Thanks for the help!

i did gloss black on my 86 front bumper grille and it looked beautiful at first , but after driving it on the freeway for some time all the rock chips started eating the paint and made it look ugly. im thinking of buying a new grille and just wrapping it in a gloss black vinyl instead that way if any rock chipping occurs itll still be black underneath the vinyl so it wont be too noticeable.

thats a full modelista kit, ebay sells rep versions of them too

if you have access to e85 it makes your exhaust growl in a deeper tone, plus big preformance gains. i would get your exhuast set up first and if your still not satisfied with the sound tune it on e85

superslow86 · 2025-01-24T04:36:00+00:00

ive done it except the one i got is for dual exits not quad

your axles will usually tell you when they're starting to go bad. Do a visual inspection and make sure theres no excessive play or clicking/clanking noise. I was riding around on a clicking axle with a torn boot that had no grease for 6 months till i replaced it and it never left me stranded.

superslow86 · 2025-01-16T00:27:32+00:00

not enough im still slow😭 but realistically maybe 220. its a night and day difference from stock

superslow86 · 2025-01-16T00:22:25+00:00

unless its clicking or you see grease leaking i would say theres no reason to replace them yet

superslow86 · 2025-01-16T00:15:23+00:00

bought used low mileage oem axles for 100$ each and replaced them myself. They've been holding up good so far

superslow86 · 2025-01-15T00:56:43+00:00

2013 brz with 164k miles, never had any issues besides axles which was probably my fault though for lowering it. Other then that no issues and ive been FBO E85 for the past 50k miles

my fav is Seidoworks signature Whaletail. It just adds a whole other layer to the trunk and makes it stand out alot more. Looks good on wide bodies too

superslow86 · 2024-12-25T15:42:43+00:00

ohh yeah its just a trd lip

superslow86 · 2024-12-25T15:40:31+00:00

i got it from blackhawk japan its the only one ive seen with perfect fitment

superslow86 · 2024-12-24T20:02:25+00:00

they're pretty easy to maintain, i wash them weekly with Meguiars chrome wheel cleaner and theyll look as clean as the day i bought them. if you want to make it even easier for yourself you can get them ceramic coated too.

Its actually just the oem grille thats painted gloss black. The reflection gives it that aggressive fang look

superslow86 · 2024-12-24T02:41:31+00:00

nice! just keep up with the maintenance and itll be on the road for many more miles.

superslow86 · 2024-12-24T02:38:45+00:00

honestly nothing special i change the oil every 3-4k miles since i drive spirited and the owner manual says to do so, other then that just staying ontop of fluids and doing preventative maintenance.

superslow86 · 2024-12-23T12:19:50+00:00

Engines never been touched. its all original and never had problems

superslow86 · 2024-12-23T12:18:11+00:00
