MrH's BRZ Thread

[giant_mtb]

Washing your car is a multi stage process that takes several hours. You must use distilled water with a perfectly neutral pH value heated to precisely 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Don't buy cheap $100 bottles of soap, you need to use good stuff blessed by Monks made from unicorn oil...

Damn. You should have my job.

[280Z Turbo]

With gray metallic, it shouldn't be noticeable anyway. My Focus is like swirl city, but it's Pitch Black and the clear coat is of poor quality.

[giant_mtb]

Grey is easy as fuuuuuuck.

[280Z Turbo]

My car is likely in Southfield right now.

I think it's pretty hard to order a BRZ right now.

I didn't even realize you could make monks out of unicorn oil.

I have so much to learn.

[280Z Turbo]

Joke ruiner.

[giant_mtb]

I was on board with it until the $100 bottle of soap part.

[280Z Turbo]

Working with some people at work to get that Subie VIP discount. Sounds like I should be able to get it!

Condensation in the taillights

Well now you have a great excuse to A., get warranty replacements but B., see if you can keep those so you can bake them open and red/black out all of that silly chrome in there.

I think he was trying to describe trappist soap.

[hotrodalex]

You know what would help? A little bit of rice.

That's what I was thinking.  I need to see where the leak is happening though, so I can seal it after blacking out the chrome.

I actually REALLY like these aftermarket ones.  Looks a lot like the BRZ concept, and more stock than the altezza ones I've got.

[CALL_911]

^Those are sick

[Rich]

They look nice, but you have free ones sitting right in front of you at the dealership.  With free installation.

Does anybody still put hotmelt in tail lamps? I know GM has it on their fullsize trucks, but they're retarded.

[280Z Turbo]

They're most likely vibration or hot plate welded.

The very idea of fucking with lamps like that makes me sick.

[MrH]

People literally take a soldering iron, melt through them, then jam them back together with silicon.  It's pretty ghetto.

Checked out the subie/toyota pair a few weeks back. I liked the scion front end better. The. Scion dealer had about 6 to choose from.

You mean kustom not ghetto.

Also you need to get your car right at LED car's ride height.

[Raza]

Condensation in the taillights

Apparently a common issue with Ferberizers.

Definitely. One finger gap between wheels/fender is perfect.

[Secret Chimp]

That looks more like two to me unless you have super-fat fingers that the ladies love because they're so much to hold on to for holding hands.

[280Z Turbo]

I'm such a baller you have to measure my fender gap with a feeler gauge.

[hotrodalex]

1 finger = 3/4"
2 fingers = 1.5"

I'm such a baller you have to measure my fender gap with a feeler gauge.

El Camino's front wheels are actually tucked under the fender about 1/2", the rear wheels are almost perfectly even.

[280Z Turbo]

Great. It still handles like poop.

[hotrodalex]

Stock, yeah. Not anymore though.
