Chuckls' BRZ tS
 
Figured I'd make one of these. I don't do a whole lotta mods, but I do take a fair amount of racing / trips!

Picked it up Aug 2018 from Florence Kentucky. I am the only owner of it. Ended up being #086/500, so lucky me.

Currently it's at almost 30k miles. I've taken it to Florida. Then to the Dragon, back to florida, and then back to Indiana. Lots of highway miles.

First mods were a GReddy EvoGT catback and tail light vinyl.

Then the VLANDs were introduced to the US. First set of smoked.

Installed a Dezod Motorsports catback and then Moved to Tampa Florida in February 2019 and had the car ceramic coated.

Moved back to Indiana because Florida sucked (June 2019)

Installed some Fortune Auto 500 series coilovers as well as the Verus Engineering front splitter and endplates.

Picked up the BRZ STi exhaust that seems to be rather uncommon in the USA

Your car looks great. I’ve got the STI axle back on my car, looks and sounds pretty good. It has 13% lower back pressure apparently, but I didn’t notice any difference.

PS - I saw in later shots you have different wheels. What are they?

Subaru show always has one or two low cars. Figured I'd try the BRZ out. Lost to a clapped out BRZ with a shark fin antenna delete.

Chuckls 01-24-2020 08:35 PM

Not much changed. Swapped out the wheels from my 18x9.5s to some 17x9+38 Rays 57CRs in Gun Blue w/ RE71Rs

Do you purposely run a forward bias rake?

Chuckls 04-14-2020 09:46 PM

Im really bad at updating.

So, big update.

Reccently acquired a Full Race Borg Warner EFR 7163 turbo kit. This is the same setup used by @VerusEric had in his BRZ. I've essentially mimic'd his setup. Verus Radiator + fans, Verus AOS, ID1050X injectors. PTuning Flex Fuel kit.
