projekt zeal86 (build thread)

[zeal86]

Wekfest was pretty awesome...it reminded me of the days when HIN was actually good. Lots of quality cars and a well organized event.

I thought I'd meet more forum members...however, the ones I did meet were really cool people. I'm guessing there were about 15-20 FR-Ss and BRZs at Wekfest.

I got to see some things I was looking forward to seeing, for example... I wanted to see rocket bunny fenders in person...the ones I did see were not installed very well IMO. Even if I had seen better examples I'm still leaning towards not going the RB route...

I love the Varis Arising II rear bumper cover... I got to see one of those and the fitment was excellent. I like the Arising II front bumper cover as well but I have no plans to change out my front bumper cover right now.

Enjoyng the build! Congrats on winning! Very well deserved.

Wish I had big shows to attend that went super far from me. Price you pay to living in the midwest away from everything I suppose.

Well if it makes you feel a little better... I had to drive 6 hours each way. I too wish I lived near big cities that host such shows.

Thanks for taking the time to check out my build thread... also, thanks for the comps!

Out of curiosity why do you live where you do?

I hope to move close to San Antonio or Houston within the next two years or so... The town I live in is my last duty station before separating from the military, I kind of got stuck here. It's not so bad...just wish bigger cities were closer.

One of the few pics I have of my ride that I didn't shoot.



^^Original photo taken by Instagram @thehypercreations I edited and cropped it a bit.

As she lays... This car condom does great keeping the dust off my 86.

I'm planning on ordering some Bride Zeta III seats in red, Bride seat brackets, Cusco 6-Point harnesses, and an Agency Power harness bar (to be painted Beatrush gold) soon.

Here is the thing... I'm considering leaving the passenger seat out and building a low level storage out of aluminum and covered in an OEM-like fabric or black Alcantara to fill the space. No one rides in my car so I figure why pay the extra money for a seat, seat brackets, and harness no one will use. Plus, I could always add the seat, bracket, and harness down the line. Anyway... I'm still debating it.

Btw, I've researched full cage versus harness bar and I understand the differences and the potential safety issues. I will use the OEM 3-point belt when driving.

Since my 86 is a hobby, show, and weekend car for me, I feel I can get away with just the harness bar. The 6-point belt I might wear from time to time but it will mainly be used for show.

Oh, I might build a rear seat delete... if I do, I will definitely post all my measurements in a write-up...It will probably be in the form of a schematic created in Adobe Illustrator and saved as a pdf. I would make it readily available through email to anyone wanting to give it a try.

How would you rate this product overall on a scale of 1 to 10? Any issues/complaints worth mentioning? How solid does it feel once installed? Thanks in advance.
