The call of C'thulhu
The call of C'thulhu... part 1
Well, no use crying over spilt milk, C'thulhu II has been hands down a ton more fun to drive than the first iteration. The image below was the load screen on the first and shall remain as a memorial to a fun car. Last edited by Turkish; 01-01-2014 at 01:33 AM. |

February 4, 2014. Got the last of the IOU's from the dealer taken care of and decided to do an impromptu photo shoot with my crazy amateur photog skills (I make no apologies for crappy framing or focus, I am a camera noob).
February 8th, 2014: Installed mudflaps and finished my bulb swap! Last edited by Turkish; 02-08-2014 at 03:59 PM. |

Got my replacement BRZ today!!!!! Of course when I got it home, which was an adventure in and of itself (yay for first manual transmission car ever!!), I immediately dug into the car and got it more along the lines of how I want it to be.
Hood struts installed: TRD Intake installed: @GrimmSpeed Master Cylinder Brace installed: Smoked HELIX JDM style side markers installed: And cannot forget the cherry on top! Err, well Perrin 2" shorty antennae lol

Most definitely, I did about ten laps around the parking lot for my apartment building stopping and starting to get the hang of first gear today (2-6 are easy peasy, a little jumpy but shifting is not stall worthy).

I'm curious too about the Perrin antenna. The shark fin doesn't really do it for me, but the Perrin looks real clean on your car
