AJR Project BRZ !

Hi Guys,

Let me introduce myself. My name is Ben and I work for A&J Racing. I bought the car because I love it and I think there are a lot of potentials to make it better and faster.

I will be keeping the car N.A (all motor). so footwork and power mods will be the main thing. N.A. is tougher and not cheap comparing going F.I.but we will take the challenge

Anyways, here are a few pics of the car while it was stock !









More to come !

Thanks
Ben

T1R Coil-over suspension installed !

- T1R suspension features 30 way rebound, right heigh and spring pre-load adjustable. Comes with F.6k & R.6k springs. The BRZ has understeer issues, a stiffer rear spring will help the rear to rotate. At full soft setting, the car is more comfortable than stock . I have driven this setup for 5 track days this year and the suspension has been re-valved twice. You will get the comfy ride for DD, you can stiff it up when ever you go track ! The production model will have the same valving as the ones I have !





After installation, we did the corner balance and alignment.The camber at the back, one side is more than the other so camber correction is required. I installed the Cusco Lateral link (rear camber kit) and get it corrected.

I will be keeping a close eye on this thread as I too share the same plans for N/A for a good loong time. It will eventually be Fi....but I wanna keep it that way for as long as I can. It will make it twice as much more of an excitement (same feeling as buying a new car) when I do decide.

Please keep the ideas coming. So far my wish list consists of mainly suspension/ bolt ons.

-struts
-sway bars
-coil overs
-I/H/E
-tune

Nice decision... I myself prefer to keep a NA engine as well.
