Don't get on here much after the forum change. Not much new.

Spent the weekend at the dragon, first trip for the car since Spring 15'. Car drove great with the offset upper control arm bushings. Not running any rack spacers, no roll center adjusters, no joints, no plates. No funny bump-steer to note. Feels like stock. Really excited with the result. Gave enough clearance for the 17x9.5 +50s and 255 Neovas with 2.4 degrees of camber and the slightest roll, no rubbing. Wheel/tire compresses neatly into the fender.

Got a mediocre sound clip of the 70mm Toda V2 exhaust for those who have asked. No cat, Toda header, stock intake.

Nice pic Matt snagged...

Annual bump.

I sold the Toda 70mm exhaust last summer and went back to 60mm. Picked up a Tanabe Touring medallion to replace and more recently had decently large chinaBay HFC spliced into a Invida test pipe to wake it up a little. Would like to swap the exhaust out for a Fujitsubo Legalis R if I come across one locally. Always remember those being a "no color added" type of sound, not so warm/boomy.



Recent trip to NC for some junk food, trendy beers, and casual driving.

Kinda sad to see the Toda exhaust gone, any particular reason why?

Car looks great as always!

Would have probably enjoyed it more if I was tuned. Mid-range felt like it suffered a bit but it could have been my mind playing with me as it did feel stronger 7000+. Fitment within the bumper wasn't perfect but I was being lazy. I could have easily tweaked the hangers a little to get it where it needed to be. Was just a little reluctant to get to bending a new exhaust.

Really was a great exhaust. I had an opportunity to sell the exhaust very close to what I paid for it so I moved on it. If that wasn't the case I would have had no problem holding on to it.
