Guess I have been to busy to update this in a while. Got the engine bolt-ons installed and new tune is about finished up. Seats in as well...see how things work at the College station event this weekend.

First national event for the new BRZ. The drive to Texas was the worst, but the event itself was great. Had bad grip issues on the first day, just like at Nats last year in the FRS

However, this time I was able to get it figured out by day 2 and the car was sticking again. Unfortunately the slow start on day 1 put me back a ways in the standings. Glad I made some progress with the setup though, should be ready to rock for the spring Pro & Tour in Lincoln.

Nice driving, good luck in Lincoln!

Had my first event on the new Rival S 1.5, I liked them a lot. Much "better" feeling than the old version.

Also, swapped out my custom exhaust for a new Tanabe Concept G. Very nice system for the price and sounds pretty good.

AP brakes installed, among other things, and got it back for alignment and corner balance.

Interestingly, my BRZ still weighs more than my FRS did. BRZ is at 2612 with 1/4 tank of gas. The FRS was 2595 with 1/4 tank.

The weird thing is, the FRS did not have the AP brakes (-20lbs), or the 2nd race seat (-15lbs), or the lighter exhaust (-15lbs).

So, not sure where the BRZ picks up the extra weight. I thought it would at least be under 2600#...sigh. Oh well...time to hit the dyno tonight

I think I remember reading that the 2017's would weigh a bit more due to additional sound deadening and the move to an aluminum intake manifold.

Could very well be the scales. Happens all the time at national events and road racing events. Different scales will read differently. Even the same scale over time messes up.

It was the 3R scales, only been a couple months but yea, I hear you.

The scales at SCR were way off from the 3R weights.

Ahh, yea the manifold, that could be some of it. Plus, my BRZ has foglights and just the overall nicer materials in the interior.

I'll pick it up on Sunday and let you know how much I think it weighs.

Finally pictures of the car in action.

EDIT: Fixed image.

Too bad nobody can see it... Google picture hosting is awful

Fixed it. Yep, ever since they changed to not link direct images it sucks

I could see, even in an incognito window...but not on Tapatalk, oh well works now.

Looks slow. Probably should try turning your A/C off
