Need a local BRZ for YouTube Review - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

swift996 · 08-13-2014, 09:24 AM

I'm not a video expert but put together a basic review of the BRZ for a concept I came up with called Tuning Nation. I plan to review modified street cars. The niche of this channel is really doing some research on the platform so it will be an extensive review that highlights: key ownership considerations, maintenance/reliability, the aftermarket support, driving impressions, dyno results, and track impressions. Basically trying to take the forum junkie's knowledge integrated into a driving review.

Since I sold my BRZ I no longer have the ability to get a few rolling shots of the car. I was wondering if anyone in NoVA would want to volunteer their car? I've just been using a go-pro and iphone but if anyone has some video experience and would like to help, by all means let me know. The first episode I planned on doing my car and have about 95% of it done. I just wanted to add some rolling shots and a clip of the interior to make it more comprehensive. Let me know!

I'm free if you still need anyone. Car is a bit dirty though

swift996 · 08-13-2014, 10:28 AM

It's not pressing, perhaps one evening or weekend for an hour. Just grab a few clips of the car rolling and a few shots chasing/following, etc.

@kanundrum would be a good choice for this.

Or @Mach V Dan

I'm free this weekend if you would prefer then. Just let me know when you want to get this done. My BRZ isn't heavily modified, wheels are plasti dipped, and have Buddy Club lights. Haven't really done anything in the engine bay, besides, strut bar and pulley. Also have OEM Audio plus.

Just let me know.

You can use my FRS

My sponsors would love that

SpectreRT · 08-13-2014, 01:57 PM

I'd help out. DMG BRZ w/RPF1s, coilovers, and a few other mods. Probably anyone in the area would help out.

Alita · 08-13-2014, 03:05 PM

I can do tomorrow if you want a couple shots of a Series.Blue ^_^
it just got a couple coatings on it, so it's all shiny.

Tank · 08-13-2014, 03:13 PM

Missing the BRZ already?

swift996 · 08-13-2014, 08:42 PM

Would prefer a BRZ for this go around. Anyone available this Sunday? Fair Oaks area?

Thanks all, I got some help. I'll post it up here when complete. It's very low budget but I think will bring some value.

The idea is to bring a mix of industry knowledge, trends in technology, in-depth tuner car reviews, and assessments on products and platforms. I know there are a lot of guys out there that do reviews but I think they miss some of the professionalism and knowledge. I see this as between a motor trend and a guy with a camera excited about driving a car. Hopefully it will get better over time but my intent is to bring a depth of knowledge on a car/platform and recommended set-ups. Discuss the feasibility and limitations of tuning options, budget considerations, and the results of setting up a car.

I've been tuning cars for about 14 years (Japanese, German, and now American), owned 13 cars, and love engineering advances. My target audience is guys like you and I on forums. I want to provide a robust analysis of how for example buying an Evo and tuning it to 400whp will be as a daily. How it will perform for track use, reliability, annoying ownership issues, etc. We have all done something we've regretted with a car and I hope to help inform people what are some agreed upon ideas for tuning for daily driving.
