The Time has come, The Zaku Story
Quote:
In this the 8 years I have spent on this forums, I've bought media, information and participated in Three 86 Expo all three I help staff in. Whenever there was a media event for the cars I was there to help coverage for the forums and over the years I have been humbled and earn the trust of many members, community,manufacturer employee many whom I considered friends and some family. Had the chance to interview engineers, the pleasure to meet Tada-San and Moto-san and many many more people I'm glad I had the chance to meet. This platform helped me launch my career in the automotive industry, many of you know what I do for a living. But I like to think of myself as another member. But I guess at this point I am probably one of the handful and oldest Original Generation member from 2009 remaining. However, there was one thing I did not do over the 8 years... and that was own the experience. Well that ended today. Today I am an Owner of a 2017 Subaru BRZ Limited : ) 9/23/2016 I just made this my first mod! [b]10/28/16[b] I look forward to many more year on this forums, and contributing as much as I can like before, I love it here. Over the years it has become my home. Cheers to the twins. I'll be happy to answer any questions anyone has for me, as long as I am able to talk about it.

Hahaha no I live in a modest size room, that's a house in a neighborhood where my boss lives. Which is funny cause that house is an average of what's in that neighborhood, I believe there's a castle somewhere around there. Literally a castle.

Congrats! On this refresh I like the BRZ front bumper more than the 86's. Looks good. Clear sidemarker perhaps?

first mod might be an armrest, the GF is complaining about not having one. Can't decide if I want the Scion sliding or GT86OEM or just something from ebay.
