Car has now been ECUTek tuned by HRi Tuning. Tons of midrange power now and no annoying torque dip!

Some super fun laps at Sebring in the rain:

I liked the part where you are attempting to pass a c7z06 on the back straight. Classic BRZ.

Let me know where I can get into sessions and back-to-back. I wasn't expecting that. Is that common with Chin?

Opie · 12-31-2017, 01:38 PM

LOL, my buddy in the Focus RS just walked all over me too, LOL.

Chin runs 3 groups, 4 sessions each. At the end of the day they run a 13th session called "Happy Hour" when all groups can run together but require point by's for all passing. So if you run the last session of the day, you can go right back out for the happy hour session...got passed by Mike Skinner (The American!) during the happy hour in December...LOL

As long as I could stay out a full session without destroying the car or overheating, I don't think I would mind too much. Especially if the car sounds and is working well.

Thanks for sharing!

Runs at Sebring yesterday!

Finally getting around to fixing that door & fender (again)! Hope to get it knocked out this Saturday.

Opie · 02-22-2018, 07:08 PM

Since the BRZ is rebuilt, sorted, reliable and fun, figured since I had so much fun rebuilding one, I'd do it all over again and bought this...

Needs some of the same work, but not as much!

They make great track cars! Not 100% sure what I'm going to do with this one.

Got the damaged fender off the car Friday night...

Got the new door & fender on Saturday!

Good as new again!

Tomorrow the FR-S arrives, will get the center spot in the garage on the Quick-Jack and we'll see what she needs to get back on the road!

Good luck Opie, and thanks for the updates!

Good times, man. Opie style is legit.

Opie · 02-27-2018, 10:23 PM

I'll keep updating this page with BRZ news

FR-S re-build is posted HERE

Marcoscrdo · 02-28-2018, 10:36 AM

This is so awesome!! I really like these kind of builds, a car completely broken and restored! I can't believe you are doing it again xD
