Hello folks,
Thought I'd introduce myself before I stick my oar in in the main forum.
A month or so back I flew back to the UK, got off the plane, drove up to Manchester and picked up my BRZ.
I drove home, jacked her up and gave her a once over. All seemed well so I packed my bags and headed to Dover.
Several days later, taking the scenic route via France/Belgium I ended up here;
Apologies for the poor photography I was busy, the guy who wanted to come for a passenger ride was also pretty crap with a camera.
I primarily took the trip as I had a few weeks off work and wanted to get a benchmark for the new toy. She's not bad. With the standard pads/disks I did start to get fade towards the end of a lap or 2 but that's easily resolved. I've owned 40+ cars in various states of tune, primarily built by myself on the car park/drive-way.
I left the ring and headed for the Black Forest.
Spent a few days here, beautiful scenery and fantastic roads (be wary of bikers if you do head this way)
Then popped off to Switzerland for a little watch shopping/alpine pass bombing. However, following an almost incident with an avalanche whilst following a slightly pikeyed Impreza I decided it was time to head home.
Anyway, I'm here to participate/glean additional knowledge as and where I can. I'm out of the country now for 3 months so plenty of time to stock pile parts back home for a weekend of tinkering on my return.
Plans so far; Meister R GT1's (I've had Zeta/ZetaCRD's on a few cars now and they've always impressed)
17x8 Konig Hypergrams in Bronze
Potential brake upgrade. (WRX 4 pots are appealing)
TD Stage 1 with UEL
Removing the resonator. As good as it is on a backroad, on the Autobahn it gave me a migraine.
Anyway, nice to meet y'all.
