Yes it burnt my leg. I have a horseshoe shape of pink skin on my shin that stings like a mother ****** right now

Evening everyone

Hot things hurt. A good lesson to learn early in life.

This is why I don't cook. Ah, the life of a college student. I see "READY IN 3 MINUTES" and I'm sold.

Should I be at all interested in SoulFunction chassis bracing for a DD? I drive spirited, AutoX with my university's driving club, and rip back roads several times a week. Very attracted to the color (lol), what people have been saying about it, and the sound of having a stiffer ride. Might couple a SF brace or two with Whiteline sway bars (or one or the other)...quick thoughts? I have all stock suspension right now on 19" Rays.

Get a Hotchkis front bar. A good LSD, Better brakes. And finally a mod behind the steering wheel nut.

Great direction, thank you! Curious as to why just the front and not a set of bars? Better brakes...are we talking whole new big brake caliper set ups (i.e StopTech 6 piston) or brake+rotor? Z1 SS Brake lines have been great so far. This will give me some googling content for the night

The rear bar can unsettle the backend on cornering. Probably not a huge deal at autoX speeds but it should help make the rear, predictable.

I like the rear bar. It was definitely an improvement over stock.

Caveat - I have a G and although the frame is mostly the same, I assume there have to be some differences in handling dynamics.

Appreciate you guys, thank you! Just ordered Hotchkis front. Probably HFC and a tune next.
