I went out to fire up the grill for dinner and the seat was just staring at me from the carport doorway. It was creepy.Quote:

We swapped over the near perfect set of Alcantara seats and door panels that I had bought a little over a year ago because Spenser will actually take care of them and keep them looking new. I, on the other hand, am a trashball that drives through construction zones with the windows down. He also won't need to strap himself down with a harness for track events now as the fabric is super grippy on clothing.
I still have the busted Alcantara set that came with my car and plan to continue to destroy it until I decide on a replacement that can handle my filthy hobbies.
More comfy than M3 seats?Quote:

A lot of what Nate said, plus...Quote:

(both of these things would likely not be an issue if I was an inch or two taller, or 10-15lbs heavier)
• I was getting annoyed with having Nappa fronts, Dakota rears, and vinyl door cards. To get M3 doors in Spenser-approved condition + Nappa rear seats was gonna cost more than I wanted to spend, and likely involve a lengthy drive to pick them up.
• The cloth seats are just better suited to summers in the south. Even with tint, power rear shade, and a front sun shade I cook my ass every day after work in the warmer months.
• Since the Alcantara was a ZHP thing, I liked the idea of having an “authentic” interior
But if a clean Natty Brown shows up locally I’ll probably make the stupid decision of buying it and letting it sit in the spare bedroom for a while.
I think so. The Nappa is pretty firm (in a good way), but the cloth is definitely superior on road trips for my bony ass. The Nappa is also kind of sealed in a way that it doesn’t really absorb treatment, so I know it’d really bother me to see them getting worn over the years without much I could do.Quote:

How do you think NB interior with black M3 front seats will look?Quote:

Since NB comes with black carpets and black seat-backs it might not look all that out of place.Quote:

Oh damn that was Shawn’s? The love just keeps circulating! My former ZHP is living in about 5 cars right now. She’s living on! [emoji56] #ZHPLegacy
No none of those parts were mine sorry if what I said implied that. I know at one point I was interested in that alcantara front seats but they were for coupe so I had to pass on them. I'm glad Spencer was able to pick them up and put them to good use.Quote:

Summer mode activated. Applied some of Adam’s ceramic wheel coating. Applying it was super easy. We’ll see how much brake dust it prevents....

Looking good! I don’t think ceramic prevents dust. But it’ll make it much easier to clean! My car doesn’t prevent dirt. Dirt happens. But it makes cleaning the car so quickly.Quote:

I have a sinai kit for the body that I didnt get to use last year. Maybe after another PC and possibly a front end respray I’ll apply that stuff before the end of the summer.Quote:

There is something oddly satisfying about looking at pictures of brand new tires, especially performance oriented ones...Quote:

Lol yea, much more satisfying than pulling this out of a tire that still had lots of life left in it.Quote:

Not sure where I picked it up, but I think I’ll be hauling them to/from the track in the trunk/backseat from now on.
I always enjoy my trips to Discount Tire, the noise and smell are second to none.
True DAT.Quote:

I always thought the E83 looked good in that color. Oh yea, I guess yours looks okay too, Trevor.
I don't understand any of this. Did you upset the mounties?Quote:

LOL someone else did. Now all of us modified cars in Vancouver are paying the price. So my price is to make my car look more stock in height. LOLQuote:

Are those Alpina wheels? Or maybe some version of style 32s?
Just about. It’s becoming ridiculous. There’s a local forum that is near 3,000 post large since it started last fall. It’s slowly making the local news about corrupt police. So we’ll see what happens. There is one person who has passed a forced vehicle inspection more than a couple times without changing anything prior to getting inspected at brand name dealerships. I just stay out of the city. My car is far more OEM looking than most people who get pulled. Although stock BRZs are being forced to VI.Quote:

And they drive an E46M too. LOL. Go figure.
Oh boy. I genuinely hope I’m able to own an ‘02 before they become completely unobtainable. They never fail to stop me in my tracks. Time to buy some lotto tickets I guess.Quote:

They're just power tripping and causing a lot of non-disputable fines and VI expenses. Oh well.....the truth will come out sooner or later!Quote:
