G’day,
My name is Chris and I’m a civil & construction engineer from the south west of Western Australia. I posted an introduction back when I was waiting for my brand new BRZ premium in WR Blue Mica to arrive. I have since taken delivery of her 2 days before my 25th birthday in November and am proud to officially introduce her. She joins my modified N15 Nissan Pulsar and my work Ford Ranger. I’ve been a huge fan of the BRZ since they were released, and I am thoroughly impressed with her so far. I was very lucky with ordering mine as the current lead-time is quoted at 4+ months on the Subaru Australia website. So enough talk, what is it? MY13 Subaru BRZ Premium (Leather and Alcantara heated seat option) WR Blue Mica 6sp Manual STi front lip Genuine floor carpets Current list of mods 35% & 20% window tint STi front spoiler STi starter button STi Rear Under Diffuser TOM’s LED tail lights Genuine Subaru Blue engine cover (signed by former Australian drift champ Beau Yates) Pioneer AVH-X5550BT multimedia head unit OEM Style Reversing Camera Genuine Subaru boot carpet Black mesh in lower grille The day I got her ![]() ![]() Sunday cruise ![]() Getting to know her older sister ![]() TOM's tail lights ![]() Signed engine cover ![]() Meeting Beau Yates and his 380rwkw 86 ![]() ![]() Some plans, long term and short term include; Cusco carbon/leather flat bottom steering wheel TRD intake STi skirts STi rear spats Spoiler with STi gurney flap JPM Coachworks interior bits Toyota wind deflectors TRD sound changers Personalised plates Coilovers or springs Wheels of some description (haven’t made up my mind yet) Stainless exhaust with titanium tips? Engine tweaks Brake upgrade Eventually a turbo kit (maybe >3years) And some pics of my current project car, my N15 Nissan Pulsar, for which I have had for about 7 and a half years. ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm happy to be part of the 86/FR-S/BRZ community! Thanks for having me. Cheers Chris Last edited by yatesy27; 03-05-2014 at 07:06 AM. |

OEM Style Reversing Camera
I managed to find a OEM style reversing camera from my friend at Carbon Car Systems, and over the last few days installed it and integrated it into my AVH-X5550BT Pioneer head unit. The first thing that struck me was the quality of the unit, ease of installation with the supplied instructions and overall customer service from the guys at Carbon Car Systems. Apparently the unit is rated to IP67.
![]() ![]() ![]() Hopefully within the next couple of weeks I should have some more updates... #hateswaiting Let us know what you think ![]() Cheers Chris

STi Rear Spats and STi Side Skirts
So, because I recently got a promotion at work, I decided to celebrate, and get some toys for my baby...
The first of which was the STi under diffuser The other toys are; Black Dash Mat/Carpet STi Rear Spats/Pods STi Side Skirts Yes, the skirts are GFRP copies. The quality wasn't bad, and I found them locally pretty cheap, but next time I will definitely consider spending the extra and buy genuine... Anyways, enough talk, here are some quick pics. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Let me know what you think. I'm well impressed. ![]() Cheers Chris

So the last couple of nights my brother and I tried some light painting and took some pics of my baby. For completely unedited pics, with little to no setup (it was drizzling with rain) I think they turned out alright.
![]() Here are a few of my favs. ![]() ![]() ![]() DAMN TREE!!! ![]() Just after this one, it started to pour down, so I couldn't get another... They are far from perfect, but look pretty special. Let us know what you think. Cheers Chris
