This will be the first journal I've ever done on a car, I don't take a lot of pictures of my ride because I'd rather be driving :burnrubber:

Here is my previous ride. Going from my Supra to this BRZ was a huge change but I don't regret it.

2/5/14 - The new APR Radiator Cooling Plate came in today, install was very simple!

2/6/14 - MAPerformance 3" exhaust installed

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...5C5F31ADC1.jpg

2/6/14 - FBM Radiator / Shroud / Oil Cooler Installed as well as dyno runs with the new exhaust.
Dyno results in for the change from 2.5" front pipe and 2.75" catback to 3" Front Pipe and 3" Resonated Catback @MAPerformance
Power band is smoother across the board along with torque and whp gains and increased spool through the whole band.
This is untuned as well so there is still more on the table to adjust for the exhaust changes.

Forgot dates, from now on I will just add pics :0
Picked up Advan RG-D 18x9.5 +40 and had them powder coated pearl white, also took the turbo out to a local small race track to finally test it out and it performed flawlessly.

Went back to the local track a second time and shaved more seconds off with each session. This is all still on the stock brakes which will change soon.

Thread is now up to date..just ordered MAPerformance 3" catless front pipe and catback today, should arrive in two weeks!

Greddy install looks great, definitely has me taking a second look.

Nice build thread man! :thumbup:

They started making the exhaust today as they are built to order. Sneak peek of part of the muffler.

Keep up the good work. I like your build; always improving and moving forward. Great taste in parts selection.

I fixed my setup. I'll post some goodies to instagram Friday. We're swapping keys for a drive soon! ;-)

Exhaust is built and shipped out today. Also ordered the newly released APR cooling plate for the engine bay!

That is freakin awesome! Can't wait for updates!

The new APR Radiator Cooling Plate came in today, install was very simple!

Exhaust looks really good man! Glad it fits well. I will see what we can do to swap out the front pipe for a resonated one:thumbsup: Nice build by the way. How are you liking the Greddy kit so far?
