Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
Yeah she's a sturdy gal. The base trim ST you could order down to about 2500lbs but the turbo and AWD systems plus a glass hatch and a lot of extra bracing add up. I've shaved probably 100lbs off mine, other people have gotten theirs down to about 2800 by stripping as much as they can. You can get carbon replacements for almost the entire body now but that's $$$$.
Fortunately they used the same front brakes on all but the base trim level, but not a lot of brands support Celicas to begin with. EBC lists part numbers for the Celica but they don't seem to be in stock anywhere, which isn't promising.

Which pads and rotors are you running now? Could be a cheap option to get the rotors resurfaced and the pad material re-bedded.
Is your GT4 a daily driver or strictly for rally?
Re: StopTech - *Edit - Correction*. They used to be cheap until they were bought out and sold to Centric. They used to have an amazing product for the enthusiast/auto sport market, but their products and prices suck now.
Re: Dynamic Friction - Some times their pads are hit and miss but it highly depends on your application. A few guys with the local PCA run them in their 986/987 and 996/997 street cars for track days and they all agree it's not bad for the price. The braking consistency fades after probably three or four track days in with heavy braking. Keep in mind, CTMP/Mosport is not a brake-heavy track like say for example, Mission Raceway, so keep that in mind.
I have a set that I bought but never installed them. I'm still using my factory pads and I'm super slow.
I think she’s one of those weirdos who gets off on feeding fat fucks. Pretty sure she feeds me and then goes home to cook her own baooo yuuu with supreme sauce
Right now they're stock-spec mystery rotors that came with the car that I had resurfaced. Pads are Beck Arnley ceramics. Both have been on the car since I think 2018? and have maybe 12k on them.
It's technically my main car but I WFH and hardly go anywhere so it only does like 3k/year. Maybe I should look up how to re-bed the current pads and see if it helps them at all. Sitting outside and not driving much probably isn't great for them.

I'm glad that stink hole, Swiss Water, is out of there.
I worked in Lake City 5 years ago in a rat infested building and even then I found out the long term plans as our landlord were constantly approached by developers regarding the future.
We moved out in 2020.
Basically, the long term plan (Covid changed timelines) is to turn that stretch of Lake City and possibly more into a Universal Studios style mega complex. Given Vancouver's film tax credit system as well as currently shitty dollar, this would mean tons of momentum in the film scene here and the need for more facilities. Not to mention small studios are consistently being bought up by mega-conglomerates.
Reg wagon got some fire burgers now on their dinner menu
Had a quick look at their menu, $21+ for burger/sides and no drink. I suppose that's the going rate these days. but that's exactly why we're talking about the burger at that Save-on for $11.99! They also serve alcohol within the restaurant so you could potentially have burger, fries, AND a beer for $20 all inclusive.
o yah? the old one was the kiddie corner to churches chicken and it took over from a pho place, which took over from a very very ancient Chinese restaurant that was very very good.
God I miss that old Chinese restaurant. they used to sell you a beef needle, oops, beef noodle soup for 4 dollars that was super delicious. The same decor in the old red wagon was the one that the Chinese restaurant was using.
Anyway I don't know why that place is popular. you white people gravitate towards the strangest shit. Especially the prices they wanted for one of their skillets.

When you're getting $15 dollar restaurant burgers, chances are an A&W burger is gonna taste a lot better. Like its $23 for a burger at steamworks. A teen burger for sure has better ingredients.

I've been to both Romer's and Bin4. Both were decent but I suppose friends/dates over hyped it so I was left underwhelmed. Nothing against either one, just my personal experience.
Vancouver is a few years behind culinary, but in NY and LA there is a growing trend of going back to basics with the burger, that I hope in a few years we'll start seeing it pop up here.
Back to basics meaning smaller patties (1.5oz-2oz) cooked with good technique (hard sear, plenty of maillard), basic ingredients like onions, processed "american" cheese, and a ultra refined soft pillowy bun.
Sorry but I can no longer justify paying $20 for a burger that's one inch thick, overcooked, between stale "brioche" bun and stacked high with toppings that no human jaw can bite into. This shit needs to go the way of the dodo bird. Pretty sure Romer's and Bin whatever is still guilty of that as are the usual suspects Earls, Cactus, Browns, etc.
Multiple patty Smash burgers with alternating slices of American cheese that's where it's at I'd gladly play top dollar for.

I had the Gastown Double Burger at Pourhouse recently and it pretty much hits this exact description, and was fucking great (but tbh I could do without the bacon)
Tbh if they got rid of the bacon and did it with raw thinly sliced onions instead of caramelized, and used basic chuck instead of the more expensive brisket blend, they could probably get it even cheaper and still be amazing.

Yeah Pourhouse is legit. They can also do it medium rare IIRC since they grind their own beef.
The burger at the keg is pretty good and decently priced.
If I'm going to the KEG, there isn't a snowball's chance in hell that I'd be getting burger.
