Switching to Redline 0w20 motor oil. Bought a Prova oil-filter because I wanted to spend $30 on a $10 filter and feel like a big-shot. And, I purchased a magnetic drain plug so that I can recoil in...

HKS has a very long and storied history of making quality products. That said, it's terrible anytime anyone experiences an expensive failure. But there are not enough BRZ/FRS owners with this...

SC kit can be a good bang for the buck if you don't have to pay someone else to install it. I have the HKS SC kit, and installed it myself (I have experience in this area), and 8000 miles later,...

If you ever decide you want one, hit me up. I'll sell you mine very reasonably just to keep it from taking up space on a shelf in my garage.

Have just turned over 1000 miles on my '16 Hyper Blue. I owned a '13 Limited in WRB, took a break from the BRZ for a bit and decided I missed it. So I got a new one.
