Yoooooo I forgot all about you!!!! It's been FOREVER! Nice job with the upgrade though I'm sure that thing is a blast to whip around. Plus your peer demographic is so much better with the FR-S. More people that are actually car enthusiasts drive that car. Instead of the tC demographic which I am less fond of haha. Anyway mine is paid off now and I'm saving up for my next move too.
Good to hear from you brother!

Haha mannn I stopped messing around with this thing a looooong time ago once I started saving to buy a house...which I finally bought a couple months ago. The car's all paid off and I'm just going to ride it til the wheels fall off.
Now I'm saving up for my next ride. Don't really know what that is yet...I've been all over the place with my considerations, but right now I've got my eye on the new Focus RS that'll be out next year. I'm sure that'll change in a month or two though lol.
The most recent thing I've done to it was toss on some TRD 19" wheels. Scored them for really cheap ($450 including new tires/TPMS) from a guy in a tC2 Facebook group. I did manage to sell my OE wheels/tires for the same price like 2 weeks later so I should change the title of this thread lol.
Now I'm at 76k miles and the car's still going strong. The stock shocks/struts are blown and the car is so stiff and bouncy...handles like garbage now too. Just received KYB replacements in the mail today so I'm hoping to get those on in a week or two. Also looking at replacing my Eibach Sportlines with a used set of S-Techs...tired of the noisy Sportlines.
So yeah...I'm pretty much all about just keeping the thing on the road now...need it to be a nice DD once I get my next car! Sorry for the life story lol. Good to hear from ya Paul!

I'm glad there are at least a couple of the OGs that still have their tCs. I really like the RS, but the FWD kinda turned me off.
And congrats on the house. It's great to own your own home, but it is expensive.
Anyway, glad you're still representing
