@UWUBRZ - Daily Driver and 86CUP Street Class Track Car

Hello!

My name is Michael and I live in the Los Angeles area. I picked up my BRZ in August of 2016 and have had a love hate relationship with it since.

I've been through many parts and experiences with this car and I think i'm finally settled on a configuration that I am content with. This is my daily driver/track car with 76k miles on it. When I bought it, it had 33k.

I've been participating in SoCal 86cup on and off since 2017. I also occassionally do track days with friends and other organizers.

The car has been tuned by Delicious Tuning for quite some time. I'm very happy with how the car feels and It's been nothing but reliable for around 10 track days and daily driving. If you need a tune for your aftermarket parts, I highly recommend Zach and Bill over at Delicious.

Here is the current mod list:

Power/Engine/Drivetrain:
  • Ace A/350 Header and Overpipe
  • Ace Front Pipe
  • CSG x MXP Touring86 Catback
  • Delicious Tuning MK1+ Flex Fuel Kit
  • Jackson Racing Oil Cooler
  • K&N Drop In Air Filter
  • MTEC Shift Springs

Wheels/Tires/Suspension:
  • 17x9+36 Volk TE37V
  • 245/40/17 GT Radial SX2
  • ARP Extended Studs
  • Cusco Rear Differential/Crossmember Brace
  • KW 3 Way Clubsport Coilovers
  • Project Mu G-Four 335 Brake Fluid
  • SPL Rear Lower Control Arms
  • Stoptech Blank Rotors
  • Winmax W5 Pads

Exterior:
  • 2017 OEM Taillights
  • Beatsonic Roof Spoiler
  • Clear Side Marker Housing
  • Diode Dynamics Always On Module
  • Diode Dynamics LED Fog Lights
  • Diode Dynamics LED Side Marker Lights
  • Diode Dynamics LED License Plate Lights
  • Grimmspeed Hood Struts
  • Perrin Short Antenna
  • Vision Technica x ICB Japan Wide Angle Side Mirrors

Interior:
  • CAE Ultra Shifter
  • Cusco Drift Button
  • Cusco Sports Accelerator Pedal
  • Diode Dynamics LED Door/Dome Lights
  • OEM JDM Black Interior Trim
  • OEM JDM Armrest
  • SWEIDIT Alcantara Steering Wheel
  • Weathertech Front Floor Mats
  • Weathertech Rear Trunk Mat

Maintenance:
  • Engine Oil: Motul 300V 0w-20 - Changed every 7.5k miles (Per Blackstone Labs)
  • Engine Oil Filter: Subaru OEM - Tokyo Roki - Changed every 7.5k miles.
  • Transmission Oil: Motul Gear 300 - Changed every 15k miles.
  • Differential Oil: Motul Gear 300 LS - Changed every 15k miles.
  • Brake Fluid: Project Mu G-Four 335 Brake Fluid - Changed whenever reservoir is clear.
  • Clutch Fluid: Project Mu G-Four 335 Brake Fluid - Changed every year.
  • Cabin Air Filter: OEM Toyota Paper Filter - Changed every 15k miles.
  • Intake Air Filter: K&N Drop In Air Filter - Never changed, cleaned and re-oiled every 30k miles.

These are the parts I see myself buying in the near future:
  • 2017 OEM BRZ Front Bumper Conversion
  • Front Strut Bar with MCB (AEM? Cusco?)
  • Pioneer Head Unit
  • Radium Dual Catch Cans

Hope to see you at the track!

Here is a cool video of Streets of Willow this past weekend, didn't hit my PB of 1:31 from when I was boosted, but not bad for less sticky tires and no boost.
