Sasha the Grey BRZ Build Thread

Proud owner of a 2014 BRZ Limited from Northern VA. Purchased on December 13th 2016 (I think) with only 6,500 miles on the odometer.

Her name is Sasha, there are many like her but this one is mine. I have a lot of things planned for her, hoping to be done before Boxerfest on June 11th.

Day after purchase.

What do you do when you're bored at work and the UPS guy drops off parts?
I install them in the parking lot.

Installed the Rexspeed carbon fiber hood struts and Perrin intake pipe. That intake pipe sits WAY close to the serpentine belt. Had to tighten it down a bit cock eyed to give it more distance from the belt. Oh well, hopefully in a month or so the Stradale titanium intake pipe will be here.

Thanks. I'm glad some people understand the connections. I plan to stencil my avatar to the underside of the hood. That should be fun.

A thousand apologies, I'll amend the list asap. Most likely. Next question.

If you're not gonna use the DRL you should get these, really cleans up the front end by deleting the DRLs entirely.

Also how do you like the battery? Is the weight reduction noticeable during driving? Seems like the biggest weight reduction in the front possible.
