Good! I've heard plenty of "I'll never sell it!"'s over the years. Just a matter of time. Just a matter of time...

It's going to be one hell of a ride. I've got plans but it will take about 2 years, were talking high HP!

I seriously thought about selling my STI already. Crazy right. The want for a truck that would allow me to get toys (snowmachine/ATV) to play with. I even went on a test drive but when they were coming up with numbers we had to leave to pickup lil ones. I still have that feeling I know I would regret selling it, so I didn't go back. Plus we would have a car/truck payment again, the no payment life is awesome.

Ozma, I've been meaning to contact you to test drive a 15 WRX. Been a super crazy summer. Soon. Soon... :-)

Dave, my family is looking at getting the 2016 Tacoma. It's like the truck version of my car since it has the D-4S technology. They've really beefed them up! I've considered selling my BRZ to aide in the affordability of having just a truck and to help out the family, but bottom line is we really don't NEED a truck and I really want to finish up my BRZ projects before I seriously considered selling it. That's about two years down the line for me and it'd almost be paid off by then anyways.

So I understand to some degree!

I went full catless Invidia exhaust sound is good and the turbo is LOUD. I installed the cooler with the charge pipe this weekend and everything is running good with no leaks. I Should be getting the grimmspeed CAI when they start shipping at the end of the week and then the only thing left is to wait for Aquamist to finish their DIT specific meth kit.

I've listened to a bunch of video's online and just can't make up my mind on what TBE I want, most likely it'll be ETS. I bet it sounds good, you should shoot me a pm sometime I would like to hear it in person if you have sometime.

Curious what made you choose the Grimmspeed over the ETS CAI?

Installed bigger TMIC and Synapse bpv. Holds boost a lot better. Stock TMIC was definitely leaking and the BPV made more of a difference than I thought.

Just bought a set of decent shape 08 BBS for $500 in the states waiting for tires to be shipped up. I have TGV deletes and a meth kit sitting at home waiting to be put in. Im just waiting for a time to schedule a tune.

Block heater installed. Ready for the cold again since it warmed up to the damn 50's this week. It in a spot where it will be easy to tuck away in the summer.

Wrapping paper is my attempt to wrap one of my wife's Christmas presents, got her a new windshield.
It was weird driving without cracks.

Changed my timing belt tensioner and idlers. Only 19k on the car and they're bad already ? Also have to pull the motor again because the valve lash is to loose.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wJdwp_7vKnM

Apparently the lash can change from the head being on the bench to being torqued down. I'm getting faster though.
