What did you do to your 2nd gen BRZ today?

I know it wouldn't seem like it, but I was once told by a body shop guy, that white was one of the harder colors to match. I was shocked about that, I wouldn't expect that!

Maybe because it's a pearl

Yea, it's exactly because it's a white pearl. The paint code for both the BRZ and the GR86 is K1X for white so I'm hopeful it'll clean up and match. I'll attempt to clean it when it's warms up a little and provide further photos.

I think it looks pretty good, and the paint match looks close. I can't tell if it's slightly more white or if my car is just that dirty already.

This looks great! I'm really starting to warm up to the ducktail. Where did you purchase yours? I'm thinking about putting one of these on now instead of the Subaru glossy black spoiler when my car gets here...

Front looks good but the rear looks like it pokes? Any fender work?

I've got a Fumoto coming for the new car myself.

Even a regular oil change might not drain all of the oil. And if you know the engine's oil capacity, it's easy to know how much is left.

You could also compare how much you're draining with the conventional method vs. with a pump, provided you work on an AOTBE basis (same draining method before both tests, same quantity of oil put in, same oil temp when changing it, etc.)

I've heard those might not drain all the grime that is at the bottom of the pan, but then again some cars have no drain plug and seem to survive.

Picked mine up today and had the winters put on.

My FRS had headers and a tune and the new car is MUCH more responsive. It's going to be a hoot.

At my height it doesn’t rub one bit even on three wheel motion.
Folks seem to have issues with +35 offsets on the back
+45 seems to be the way for a flush performance oriented stance.

What's your rear camber?

2.2 back and front

Got Fortune Auto 500's installed on the car by Fortune Auto themselves. I'll post pics soon. Ended up with 7k spring rate in the front and 8k rear. The shocks are six clicks from full soft and the ride is only marginally stiffer than stock but car turns 10x better now.

Got the front to -1.5deg camber and the turn in has been improved 10x. It's very darty and sharp now on turn in. The car feels extremely balanced now with understeer only happening on very cold tires. I still haven't been able to push the limit of the handling but 60mph corners on my favorite backroad have now become 70+, along the way quicker turn in and being able to get on the gas quicker.
