How was the drive? I bought mine just after the last snow of the season in Idaho so I haven't tried her out yet.

It was fine. I have Blizzaks on it. And it really comes down to fundamentals, don't mix inputs (steering with braking or accelerating). Shift as soon as your able and keep the RPMs down. I noticed a couple of times if I held a gear past 3K the traction light would start to blink. The only spot I had trouble on was this morning I caught a light that rests on at a slight incline that was pretty icy. Once the light turn she wagged her tail and i lightly counter-steered as we made it through 1 and 2nd gear, I got into 3rd just as I cleared the intersection and we were off.

Speaking of inclines, I know people are po-poing on the Hill start assist. I LOVE IT! this morning the I watched as a bunch of fwd cars struggling and failing to make it out of the street leaving the neighborhood. and when I backed out of the driveway having that nanny holding the car for me as I feathered into gear and pulled away like a boss in my 'unwinterable sports car'. Love this machine.

Became a Subaru Ambassador yesterday so today I ordered my first set of Subaru gear to give away!

Made a shift knob meant for an original 911 fit on my BRZ - I'm in love. Finished in a heat resistant semi-gloss seal. Used an oxygen sensor adapter for a thread.

Perrin inlet and removed sound tube. Officially this part doesn't fit on the new engine but some stretching and clamps did the job

Bought a set of new Bridgestone Potenza S04 Polea Position Tires (stock tire size) and I also purchased weathertech all weather mats. Going to polish and wax it tomorrow!

Looks pretty damn good in the pictures. How does it look in person? I've been debating wrapping a few things myself...

How do you like those tires? Quieter than stocks?

I just did the same thing on my 2017 BRZ, worked fine for me. Did not seem any different than on my 2013 FRS.

I did find out though that the 2017 MT cars have a different drop-in filter than every other twin out there...

New wheels and rubber for my BRZ.

thomasmryan · 04-04-2017, 01:56 PM

Some of the roads that close during the winter have opened up so good times. Rotated the tires, cleaned the brake sticky goo poop of the lugs and ventured to buy real gas for the first time.

Took a midnight run on one of the higher roads (6000') and the car liked running on real fuel and the stock rubber actually heated up enough to somewhat stick.
