Andy`s BRZ

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:

 

Nice car

 

you should have tagged it in GA LOL

 

i would`ve if i didnt used to live in 1 of 3 counties in GA that has emissions

 

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.

 

Your Bugeye was much better.

 

lots of potential in this one

 

So, do you miss your WRX?

 

That blue looks soooo good.

Very nice, my friend.

 

Do this....

Car is too new to require emissions in GA.

Congrats!

There are only 3 counties is GA that require emissions?

I think you underestimated by...10.

 

drool :drool:
i kind of want a brz now just bc of this

 

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

 

unbolted axle-back..

HOLY :eek3:

 

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

 

I think it sounds better at idle imo

 

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

 

wish you would have painted them 1st

 

with tint... needs tint

 

i think when I do the whole kit eventually, it should look good. just the sideskirt alone looks kind of outta place.

 

tint is coming guys cant stand this california sun...

 

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...

 

taillights look hawt. Did you modify them or are those the JDM tails?

 

tails ftw

 

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...

 

Have you had any issues with your taillights? Im thinking about getting those.

 

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.

 

Those lights are hot, I just can't believe Tom's would use Depo's

 

They come with a relay modification don't they?

 

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.

 

Looks great bro, my brother has a BRZ as well, earliest mod should be an exhaust and test pipe haha

 

picked this guy up. feels worse than stock but i like the old school subie look lol.

 

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.

 

these just came in that was a LONG wait.

 

Those wheels look SICK! Nice car by the way.

 

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

 

love that front lip on all brz's

 

a little teaser before the michelin PSS gets wrapped on `em...

 

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!

good car, needs some boost to overcome the nasty torque dip, chassis and transmission is very well made

 

it`s been a while Ming..

yea FI will fix it, but I think a nice header and a tune does wonders.

 

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.
