Still havent decided what to get yet... im really enjoying the classic stock look for now.
Long car trips are no harder than driving around town. Just steady state on the interstate with lots of air flow. If the car has a solid cooling system and isn't leaking you are fine.
You really need to come to DGRR! I didn't go for a number of years and kicked myself when I finally went and realized all the fun I had been missing out on! Also no one cars if your car isn't "done", paint isn't perfect, etc. - just GO!

TC4’s
New shoes for the silver girl!
TC4’s Metallic gun metal..
18x9.5 et45 on 255/35 front
18x10 et35 on 265/35 rear…. Very similar to the RPF1 specs I had before.
Ride height is a just under 26” so I could go alittle lower.
Pretty happy, I like the contrast between the silver and gunmetal.
Also glad to regain some better grip vs the stock 16” definitely feels more planted.

Brake switch stopper fell apart
The little things!
Getting in the car this morning and seeing these pieces on the floor mat and the battery was dead!
Well the brake pedal switch stopper(or whatever it’s called) final gave up causing the brake lights to stay on all night in the parking lot. 🥺
Got a jump from a coworker and taped a penny where the stopper goes(temporarily fix) to drive home with working tail lights.
Do yourself a favor and go check yours now 👍

You can do a stick-on rubber pad from the hardware store, for the brake light switch I do like to have a proper OEM part. Someone found that Nissan has a rubber stopper that works perfectly.
For the clutch switch a stick-on pad does great, been running one with zero problems for 15 years

Went for a cruise with some friends this weekend.
A buddy shot this video of my car, pretty cool you can hear the turbo spool in slow motion and she sounds like angry bees!
Took a few pics, enjoy

IRP motor mounts failure 😡
So I’ve been noticing a vibration coming from the car and thought it was the exhaust touching a cross brace or something.
It was the motor mounts. Completely disintegrated!
Ima send IRP a email and find out if these are defective or what.
This Is unacceptable for mounts that are only 3years old.
