    Swapped out the120 N/mm (685 lb/in) front springs. Felt great on track but were a bit harsh for a daily driver. Wasn't unbearable but I wanted to soften it up and get closer to flat ride. Went with 9k (503 lb/in) Swift springs which is at the limit for these dampers. Any softer and I'd have to get them re-valved. I'm happy with the results. More compliant but still planted. Only bummer is one of the lock screws on spring perch is stripped 🙁

    Did a couple of different things, mechanical and visual.

    Mechanical:
    Replaced rear wheel bearings, rear hubs, and throttle position sensor 1 (car was throwing the EML code at the last track day)

    Visual:
    Started working with my vinyl guy on a graphic set for the car. This is NOT the final design as we were just playing with things. I can't wait to see where it goes next week

    Installed BK 9222 brackets on the driver's side replacing the Norgaro specific brackets.

    Now I can see quite a bit better and it feels more comfortable in general. I can even use the armrest again, I would highly recommend these to anyone of average height.

      All Cup holders are currently in stock -adjustable height -reversible top plate for passenger/driver side fitment -powder-coated satin black finish -3 piece design -made in Canada - simple installation -fits LHD/RHD -quick disconnect without any tools required -light weight aluminum design Tested only on oem seats an

    Sleepers makes mirrored version of this for the passenger side too. I considered the Patina cup holder but heard it was pretty flimsy.

I can also fit my Yeti cup without any flex or interference with my legs while driving. No more driving one-handed with coffee in the other!

    As annoying as it is, you'll want to completely remove those labels off the headers before starting the engine; otherwise, the burning smell might take a while to go away.

    ​ New wheel day. After 6 months of searching for diamond silver, I compromised on color. The new color is slowly winning me over.

    TE37 SL in diamond black 18x9.5 +22 265/35 with a 10mm rear spacer. Will need a roll to pull off the rear spacer.

    Just need to get my headliner back and the car will finally be in a happy spot.

    Also replaced the OAS and the oil vent line from airbox>pan. Both were likely just fine but I guess I wanted something to do and didnt feel like installing my new yellowtag rack just yet.

    Found a leak from the return hose>P.S reservoir, all this shit is basically brand new so that's unfortunate.

    Maybe a basic hose clamp as opposed to the stock style clamp will fix this as its not leaking out the vent hole, its definitely from the hose connection.

    Please update on how the fan clutch works out.
