2.2Lude's ZC6 BRZ Seat Time Build

[2.2Lude]

Track season is back in full swing here in Northern California and it's about time I get a build thread going for my 1st Gen BRZ.

The car is a 2014 Premium BRZ 6 speed that I bought in Oct. 2023 off FB with 93.6k miles and a salvage title. Salvage title was the result a front end collision involving the airbag impact sensor. Fix required a new windshield, dash, airbags, front bumper, and headlight bracket. The seller purchased it from auction, completed the repairs, and put in a new Excedy clutch to flip - no idea if the TOB was also changed but no noises soo far and operation is smooth.


Build Goal: Low budget seat time car. Possible 86 Challenge street class build. She's not the prettiest with plenty of dings but runs great and will hopefully serve my purpose for a few years.


I have the luxury of working from home and a few other cars so this build can focus a little more track performance in its progression and a little less on street comfort, though it is still somewhat important. Laguna is a 2+ hour drive and Thunderhill is a 3+ hour drive for me.

Prior to the repairs :








The car came with a 3" Perrin exhaust, Injen SP Intake, and Carbon Reproductions 2017 OE Style Spoiler. The exhaust and Intake got pulled off for OEM replacements rather quickly.


How it currently sits :

Will update soon.
