Went out for some fresh air before it rains for the whole week (supposedly) and decided to take some photos of the car. Here are a couple:

The BRZ sound system is actually pretty good... ever played it while the engine is off? I think the audio problem is the lack of sound insulation and the interior acoustic design. |

1. Dropped the rear subframe to install some PBM diff/spacer bushings. hopefully this will help axles live longer.
2. rebuilt axles w/ Redline CV grease, vented boots. 3. replace 4.1 diff with 4.3 diff from a 2017 4. rebuild coilovers w/ new bumpstops, lube bearings, etc. 5. whiteline front bumpsteer kit 6. Front camber bolts to get just a lil more grip out of the front end. |

Verus Engineering all the things!
Been a bit of a process experimenting with all the variations of Tiffany Blue out there and these RPF1 inserts were worth the wait. revlimiter.net is a new kind of perfectionist. Last edited by therealstoly; 02-04-2021 at 12:48 AM. |

I hit my front lip at the parking lot last night, so check to see if it broke or not. Thankfully didn’t broke off or have any crack.

in my case, it comes down to gearing and min corner speeds on track. There are a few corners where I'm down to about 50mph. that puts my right at the top of 2nd gear (two more shifts in the turn), or bogging at 4500rpm in 3rd- below the power band. so with the 4.3, I'll be roughly 4700rpm at the same spot on track, a little higher in the powerband, and a little more power coming out of the turn so I get back into the power band quicker. At the end of the straights, I was hitting redline in 4th about 2-300ft before the braking zone. instead of holding it at the rev limiter, I'll now have to shift to 5th well before that same spot and I'm hoping it will reduce lap times and strain on the engine running it near the rev limiter. |
