One year later
Hit the one year mark of owning my BRZ and I must say, the novelty still hasn't wore off. And that's surprising for me considering the list of multiple 400+ hp cars I've owned over the years. Oddly enough though, when I think back to the car I had the most fun with and just couldn't stop driving.. it was my 82 bone stock celica supra. It was everything the BRZ is, just older (and mabey a tiny bit better) Perfectly balanced with a car/human connection unlike any other car I've driven to date. If you ever get a chance to drive an old RWD toyota, do it.
ahh memories.. Anyway, on to some crappy phone pics and a measly list of mods Exterior Painted tails clear sidemarkers OEM style rear diffuser yellow Lamin-X fog covers black plasti-dipped stockers LED bulbs all around except for fogs Handling Eibach Pro kit 25mm Ichiba rear spacers 17mm Ichiba front spacers Whiteline camber bolts Power/Drivetrain K&N drop in Works AB-M cat back Whiteline positive shift kit PIVOT mega raizin PIVOT raizin spark S custom 4 point grounding |

How have the spacers been? Do you feel any handling difference?

The spacers have been great. Pushing the scrub radius out a bit definitely helped increase steering wheel feel and made the car feel a bit more planted. About 20k on them without issue. |

The k&n is great.Definitely noticed a bit of power after 6000 rpms .Always my first mod on any car and probably the best bang for the buck out there.
