The only way you can "come back" is to sell your car and buy a different one, change your IP address, select another forum name, select an avatar that is a anime girl and then re-register.

I haven't quite had a full year with my BRZ, but it is also my first car. Glad to hear that you've had a great time with the car, but please be safe while you're driving. Too many of my peers are just plain bad drivers or have already hit people. One thing that I would have to recommend though, is a tune or headers to get rid of the torque dip. The previous owner of my car added a Perrin Bigmaf intake and a tune which feels much better than my sister's stock FR-S. It really makes the car more fun below 4,200 RPM.

Down the road when funds are available its something I really wanna consider doing (torque dip adressing) for now thought banging out gears is pretty fun.

How do you like the BRZ?

I love it. The only thing that bothers me is the amount of attention it gets. That might sound stupid with the color that I chose, but I truly love the color. By far the worse thing is people that think they know me or my situation and feel the need to comment on the car that I happen to have. Other than that, driving it, windows down, just listening to the exhaust note is an intoxicating experience.

Open Flash Tablet is the easy dip fix.

I need to also look into one of those as well, trying to snag one on a part out. I need to prioritize at the moment though sadly. I do plan on replacing that front bumper and I can get a new one primed for about $200.00 but unsure on the paint cost.

But hey, tomorrow I'm picking up an eBay style totally functional defuser for about $20.00 from someone parting out, so maybe that'll add some power
