Brand new 14 brz

Just bought a 14 brz limited black I'm on the marine base. Whose around me with one? Love to meet up. Is it normal for the clutch to feel stiff right now? Still getting use to the pedals Tryna find that sweet spot. Breaking in process is a head ache. Looking to meet up with people talk about mods and all.

hey I'm on k bay as well, I'm picking up my frs on friday. I'm in the process of getting rid of my miata, you may have seen it on base, white with white wheels. I've seen a few 86's and brzs on base and I'm down for a meet up or meet then cruise to the monthly 86 meet on the island

I opted for the auto. I know I know, everyone is going to hate me...but I have plans. I'm leaving island in 5mo and my uncle owns a shop back in MD, so we are basically turning it into the shop track car. I'll probably throw the Kraftwerks SC on it, aiming for about 300whp. Then deal with the suspension and upgraded Torque Converter/Valve Body on the tranny. Track monster will be born!

PM me if you Kbay guys ever wanna get together!!

Stiff? I thought my FR-S had the softest clutch ever! The thing to get used to is the high engagement/disengagement point.
