Israeli Brz, 6 Months of Upgrades and thoughts - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

CNX · 02-05-2016, 06:09 AM

I bought A white 13 Brz six months ago. I am the second owner with 40km.
The first thing that bothered me is the lack of sound from the engine/exhaust. this car looks so sporty but sounds like a yaris. so i swapped to a full kit of miltek non resonated exhaust and uel Borla headers.

Than the cheap interior starded to tackle me so i hydro dipped some trims, plastics and small stuff.

Than i swapped the stock unit to the android nu 3001 that turned to a great cheap buy for a 200 usd.
I also Installed an armrest, i think that this is a big deal, the cup holes are so terrible, annoying and cheap.

Also Bought the Trd shifter that matched my carbon fiber rep panels.

.
The Cheap Feel stayed a bit so I ordered the Sard Racing Seat Covers and installed them yeaterday. It looks so amazing, almost wrinkle free, but i think that all these will dissapear in the sun after some weeks.

. Now The Feel inside is much better. almost like My Sline 13 Audi A3 1.8 that was swapped for the Epic Brz, haha. Also Ordered Silver A/C ring trims and silver Reverse Lock but didnt get them yet.
The outside Cosmetic issue is less drastic becuase the car Looks great from factory. Swapped The stock rims to a Rep BBS. genuine cost here around 5k USD so this is not an option. the stock rims now wear cheapass tyres for drifts only.

The rear tails was a big deal for me. i hate the clear tails, they look so horrible and cheap. thought to order vallenti's/Buddy's/ Intec but found a much better solution. painted them red haha.

I ordered An Sti Lip Kit that includs - front lip, sideskirts and two rear small lips.
what do you think i should do next? in the cosmetics department. Power, Tracktion and some other issues will come later.

What do you think about the car now?

CNX · 02-06-2016, 05:55 PM

How are the roads there in Israel ?

CNX · 02-06-2016, 06:13 PM

the highways are awsome but i think that the local roads are crap. there are tons of bumpers in almost every city so this is not easy here.

Yeah i think it sounds pretty clean, it can be over baring if you take the cads off and go pipes.
