Once it warms up a bit (it’s just 41F here - we seem to have slipped into Third Winter here after it got warm for a week) I’m off to work on the car. I’ve got upgraded brake fluid and pads to put on the BRZ in preparation for my first !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! in a week and a half. I also finally picked up a tool I’ve wanted for years - a pressure bleeder. One man brake bleeding FTW!

I plan to scribble up a piece about car prep for the track, but other than checking all the fluids, this should be all mine needs.

I also thought this shooting brake artist rendering was awesome.

looking forward to the track prep piece as I’m going to be doing some track time in just under a month

as for the the render, its a good job I think it spoils the look of the car and looks worse overall to me

Great! I hope it’ll be useful to many people. I’m glad I’ve found at least one.

I prefer the swoopiness of the actual car, but people on Oppo have a thing for shooting brakes (and brown diesel manual AWD wagons), so I figured I’d share. I agree, the rear could be a bit nicer.

That shooting brake makes me sad, because it’s my perfect car and it will never be built. :-(

Pressure bleeder was great, but WOH that cap didn’t want to go on easy! (Motiv)
