New brz owner

Hi guys my names andrew,

Just traded in my 07 GTI for a 13 brz out in seattle and joined the forum. I have always been fan of this car and had a major itch for a rwd so this caught my eye at an acura dealer in they're used lot. So far i can see bone stock limited no mods to it. So my first plan is to just save until i can turbo it and exhaust. Ill post pics when i furge out how. But any hints on what to look out for id really appreciate it also if anyone lives in washington area let me know

Welcome to the family. I honestly would recommend stickier tires if you're going turbo. I would beef up the suspension first. The stock Primacy's likes to let loose.
