How/ why does that make you a ricer?

Damn...I just ordered the same parts too (minus catch can).

Just making a joke, lots of threads on here people say the Cusco stuff doesnt make any difference and is a ricer mod...

Really love the handling of the BRZ in the wet with Sport mode, enough slip to feel fun without letting you get in too much trouble

what is this nav track you speak of?

That looks great! How do they feel so far? Can you notice any difference at all on the street? The pair of bars that replace the stock ones run around $400 right?

I've taken it out on a couple of spirited drives since I've installed the parts. The car definitely feels more connected, more responsive to steering input for sure.

They are around that price, I got a great deal on all of the parts from Genome Tuning on here . They were great to deal with and super fast on delivery.

Hit up Ash from genometuning if you have questions, need pricing etc....

How to record and export a driving track if you have the BRZ Navigation HU:
0. In the Nav Map screen when the vehicle is stopped:
1. Menu > More > Trip Monitor > Record Track
2. Drive
3. When you are done with your drive that you wanted to record a track of
4. Menu > More > Trip Monitor > Stop Recording Track
5. When you get home:
6. Menu > More > Trip Monitor > Save/Export Tracks as GPX
7. Audio > Settings > Eject SD card
8. Plug the SD card into a reader on your PC
9. Copy the exported .gpx file from the SD card "tracks" dir to your PC
10. Open the GPX file in Google earth or directly into google maps via GPX Visualizer link:
http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/
11. Remember to return the SD card to your BRZ Nav HU otherwise the Nav part won't work.

Probably sounds more complicated above than it really is, but it's easy after you do it the first time.

Really impressed that the Subaru Nav includes this Nav track export feature since that is one of my favorite things to do with my Garmin GPSes in the past whenever I am out scouting some twisty roads so I will be able to find them next time.

Thanks, this is awesome!

Got chased by an M-coupe around the hills of Oakland. Was great fun and gave the guy a thumbs-up as I let him pass as I pulled into a turn-out, but wasn't too crazy about how he buzzed all the cyclists ahead of us. BMW drivers... (j/k)
