Hopefully the car will see some track action this year. Looking forward to seeing what you think of the Toyos compared to AD08s.
Cool! I wish my older thread was still viewable. It got terminated during the new s2ki refresh.

For sure, I guess I should've taken this opportunity to make the stupid brake ducts for the bumper. I made the template so it's just a matter of playing with fibreglass. Been so swamped.

**Update? May 15, 2013** - slowest build ever!

Super swamped with work and a big move so I have only been able to work on sasha for a couple hours a day. Was hoping to have all this done last Saturday, but ended up drinking a lot on Friday. Weekend = write off.

85% done, I have routed all the power/pressure lines in sneaky spots. Also made some aluminium brackets and retrofit a button (3rd attempt) into the convertible button location. Happy with the install progress, straightforward like doing an amp/sub. What's left is to plug everything in and tuck the wires more.











...and.........I won tickets to see pre-screening of fast & furious 6 tonight!!!!!!!!!! 2 hours of epic comedy.

I'm a little surprised you are on BC coils. Don't get me wrong I have a set on my Si and I have sold dozens of sets to friends, and for the price it's hard to top them, I guess I just figured you would have had something higher performing given all the other parts on the car. The Umbrella kit looks great though and I am curious to hear what you think of it once you get it up and running. It's cool to see all the different companies coming out with air cups.
