Great project! It is really cool to see you take a car in that condition and turn it around. Whoever painted the panels did a nice job matching the color as well.

Sweet deal for that car.

I've heard that guy is a jerk.

It's probably not even a 6MT.

Took zero pics but..

Eibach r2 coilovers installed so I can sell the tein flex z setup now. Also installed the Essex AP BBK. Tracking the car in 2 weeks.

Dave-ROR finally got this thing on the track, here's a video he shot at Sebring last weekend in the BRZ rebuilt in this post, it's an entertaining watch...I appear in my rebuilt twin around the 8 minute mark of the video after Dave got frustrated because the Porsche wouldn't give a proper point by to him, so Dave-Ror let me by. We were turning similar lap times until that Porsche Cayman Clubsport GT4 slowed us...watch to the end as Dave almost caught me, it's worth it!

ermax · 03-27-2019, 09:57 PM

Man the bumps on T17 almost got him. Good save. Looked like it was going to be a good lap too.

So way back in May 2012 I took delivery of my 2013 BRZ Limited. Ended up tracking the car quite a bit and loved it but came to the point where I either needed to really build it, or move on to something different. I ended up selling it and moved on to a number of other cars since.

Sadly, in December I decided to ride with @Opie at Sebring in the rain.. and immediately started looking for another BRZ. Oddly I have driven his car at Sebring multiple times but it wasn't until having a blast with it in the rain that I wanted another one. (it's dry times are still SLOWER than my Camaro's wet track times haha)

The goal is to get one setup for track use, with safety equipment, that I don't need to trailer to and from events. I have much faster cars that I can drive to the track but no rollbar/etc and I have cars that need to be towed.. so this would be an option to use when I want to go to the track but don't want to tow a car there but still want real seats, a roll bar, HNR usage, etc.

Since I didn't want to pay full price, I started looking for a "lightly" damaged BRZ/FRS on erepairables. I bid on a few cars but lost those. I finally won this one. It's a 2015 BRZ Premium in Ice Silver or whatever they called it in 2015.

Here's some pics from when I picked it up at Copart in Atlanta, GA:

Went a mile down the road or so and took the hood off to more safely transport it home:

So far, the car obvious has:
Tein Flex coilovers
RPF1s
245 width mid 2017 Pilot Super Sports

It obviously needs:
Drivers headlight (pass light mounting tabs are broken but I think I can repair that)
Hood
Core support and all related mounting pieces
Radiator
AC condensor
some AC lines probably (the car will be street driven as well)
Coolant overflow
Windshield washer bottle
Intake
MAF (already bought one)
Bumper cover
Drivers airbag (steering wheel bag only) (and rebuilt seatbelt pretensioners, reset airbag computer)
And probably more. I'll know more as I tear into it.

Is it real price Last Bid : $4,950 https://salvagecars.biz/cars/subaru/...2f9602905.html ?

aemravan · 05-07-2019, 02:56 PM

Car: $6,309.54
Rebuild: $2,472.03
Cashback: -$93.21

Total: $8,688.36

Considering his provided breakdown, I would say yes. There are plenty of Copart fees, internet bidding fees, gate fees, then vehicle delivery, from GA to FL, so yes, from $1300 for all of that is what the extras cost on top of the car itself.

I did the opposite... picked up an FRS in West Palm Beach and had it shipped to NC. Without all the goodies that we decided to do extra to it ( lowering, carbon fiber accents, ground effects, etc) my car would have been right around the 8500 dollar mark too said and done. Granted its not a BRZ but we were looking for an auto FRS and this one has 25k miles.. but from my previous thread I started looks like needs some engine work too now lol.. so long story short, that is a hell of a deal for that BRZ man! I've been looking actively for 6 months and that one is BY FAR the best bang for the buck for what you picked it up for vs the damage it had. Congrats!
