The music at 5:30 reminds me of an old Perth local band called Gyroscope. https://open.spotify.com/track/2QwNEksQgbeQvVcLATZ6xw?si=wphr5BtHTxWyRfywYEFbvw

Also $20 rad funnel FTW.

Back on the summer wheels.

And put on that pre-painted foglight duct I bought so _so_ long ago, to feed air into my cut off milkjug.  "csl look".

I always liked that asymetrical look

Black,  this is why the wheels on the STi are black.



I gotta put curb feelers on this thing for my codriver...

So... not a "good surprise" to find when heading to the garage to swap tires on the s2k before the autox...





The legs gave out on it.


Most of the mess was from this.


If you soak your floor in enough oil, you can find otherwise imperceptible cracks going on.


So, new shelf time!

Once again, the STI gets into trouble and the old reliable mule helps out.

Brutal. 



Is that into a stud?  Not that it really, matters.  That new shelf should be pretty stable, albeit, leaning with the gradient of the floor.  That floor though is sure purdy though!

Yup!

But even w/o it this shelf is so much more appropriate.

Oh dang, I have that same shelf  :'(
The 3 is raw.  Lighter than more agile.  The 6 probably feels like a 747.  And by that contrast, my STI probably feels like the Hindenburg.  So GR's are like the International Space Station.

You need to report that shelf for hate-crimes.

Careful, it won't hold the weight of your LS swap.

WSC needs a rating/like system for moments like these

Excuse me guys, this is a no fun and jokes zone.

Agreed.



These silver ones for the wagon aren't even my first set!
