QueenBRZ's 17' BRZ performance package DD / track build

Hey everyone! My name is Crystal, aka QueenBRZ. About two months ago, I bought my '17 BRZ performance package. Since then I've really come to enjoy everything the car and its handling. As you can imagine, the modification bug has hit me and now I really want to make the car my own!

Heres the second day I got the car:


Since my boyfriend drives a '17 STI and has taken his car to track days and canyon runs, I've really enjoyed the environment and community. Because of that, I wanted to experience it first hand.

My plans for the BRZ are daily driver / canyon carver / occasional track car. While the BRZ is down on power, it more than makes up for it in handling and driving feel.

Heres a picture of me at the fork at Glendora Mountain Road (GMR) in Glendora, California.


I've already began modifying the car over the last two months and have started a youtube channel and Instagram to document it!

IG: https://www.instagram.com/queeenbrz/



In the channel I've been doing quick how-to's, part installations, and canyon drives. While I try to post every week, some times life gets in the way and I cant make a video. While a lot of people prefer youtube, I've always been the type to anonymously browse car forums and read build threads for hours. Because of that, here I am!

Anyways enough typing, here's some photos of my car that I've taken and some youtube videos that show where the build currently is at.

So the next plans for the car is tackling the suspension! I have several cool suspension goodies coming which I cannot wait to show everyone . Once they come, I'll post some sneak peaks. Springs and swaybars might be in the cards <3<3

Sneak peak of the next addition! I'm really curious to see how the RCE yellows handle with the Sachs dampeners.
