I swore I wasnt going to touch it but already started doing little things so here goes I got the limited 6mt at the end of March. I always always wanted a satin white pearl, but for some reason the WRB just won me over that day... when i see the SWP BRZs i drool but i think secretly i wanted the traditional WRB all along. BTW, i was in the stealership for 6 hours dealing with stupid california mark up prices on the BRZs and they eventually gave in. and then of course, I had to wait for this moment because it's a modern car i`m sure it dosent really matter about the break-in procedure, but I just wanted to be on the safe side. Thought about leaving it alone for the longest time but i just couldnt stand the letters that felt to me, like last minute decision to put em where they were. so i took em off. and then the day after, this thing came in. the tow hook front license kit (stupid cali rules make me do this :argue more to come soon. plans so far: 10th st JDM goodies recaro pole positions OZ allegerittas or Enkei RCT4 w/ PSS or conti DW KW coilovers (i`m doing var 3s this time) sti brembos sti front lip etc... ask me if i miss my wrx :sx:
Looks good man! I picked up a SWP Ltd BRZ in march and i was torn between the 2 colors as well. I used to own a WRX but i traded my '12 Mustang in for the BRZ.

if i`m honest i do from time to time, but that is only because i had pretty decent suspension set up. i think as a package, the brz will be a monster in the corners after some tweaking. i miss the space the wrx had for a small sedan. but mostly, i definitely miss it when cars like civic si and rx-8 come revving at me asking for trouble at a stop light
it's been a while and I`ve been fighting the temptation to mod the car, but what gives... front lip and the gurney flap coming soon. Weds 18" wheels and KW coilovers in the plan but it will take another while again
finally took the time and put the skirts on. found a vendor that will source me the wheels I have in mind, so that will be next and the Toms LED taillights are on its way
i think when I do the whole kit eventually, it should look good. just the sideskirt alone looks kind of outta place.
greddy SP elites and wheels coming next.. cant decided between enkei RCT4s and Weds SA15Rs... but in the meantime, I had to get rid of my ugly "euro" tail lights...
They're technically Depo, but modified by Tom's http://www.rallysportdirect.com/TOMS-81500-TZN60-US-LED-Tail-Light-Set
I ordered Enkei RCT4s in gold... is gold on WRB too old school or is it still cool? I may stay with the gold for a bit and then get it powdercoated later if i decide i dont like em...
no issues at all. the only thing i`ve noticed is that there is a slight hesitation of flickering when you put your left and right blinker on... instead of tick tock tick tock, it`s a tick.....tock tick tock. maybe something in the relay isnt properly in place, but it doesnt really bother me. no condensation at all either.
yes. i think it`s just a small glitch. maybe i`ll pull the relay and put it back in place to see if that fixes it. doesnt really bother me tho so i dont know.. i`m kind of lazy to un-do my dashboard, go underneath, etc lol
yeah definitely sounds relay related. but i guess a hesitation is better than them blinking super fast or not working at all.
ordered the wheels a while back but still waiting on shipment haha. ETA is end of this month so hopefully it`ll be here soon. saving up for Ohlins road and track... it`s gonna suck when making the payment but after driving a lot of BRZs with different set up, it`s well worth the money. plan on doing the invidia q300 and the borla unequal length header.
new shift knob to replace the sti one. (3/24/14) I like this one because it`s heavier, it sits lower and it`s a good diameter. I also like how it matches my interior trim. ordered the replica front lip. these are gonna need a little wet sanding and some TLC... guess you get what you pay for, but I didnt wanna pay a lot for something I am going to destroy. (3/24/14) JDM gurney flap also came in today this is the single most expensive piece of rubber I have ever paid for lol (3/24/14)
installed the replica lip and the jdm gurney flap. I needed to wet-sand and buff the hell out of the front lip as its surface quality was... well, what I paid for really. before: after: gurney flap. took me a few tries to get it aligned right. the sti decal.. well i only had one go at it
my car got featured on everyday driver's review vs the new WRX! Paul and I are good friends and he asked if he could borrow my car as Subaru doesnt let out two press cars at once and they really wanted to do this comparison. enjoy guys! [youtube]CkWyyY718AM[/youtube]
good car, needs some boost to overcome the nasty torque dip, chassis and transmission is very well made
new shoes finally! gonna be a while for coiliovers. tire spec: michelin PSS 245/35/18. I understand why people pony up for these now.. wow they are so comfortable.
