Adventure Time! (E.Ts BRZ/86 Build)

In the last year I have had my ups and downs with my car….
It all started January 4th 2013 ordering my Black GTS with an estimated arrival time of eight months. After four months I was lucky enough to find out about a cancelled order and picked up my new red 86 on April 4th 2014



With race wars coming up and with the help of Gan-Man from Gan Man Industries we managed to get some plasti dip on the wheels and badges. We also managed to fit my Invidia N1 Catback exhaust so I didn’t show up in a bone stock car.



My next and first major modification was installing my Five:Axis body kit. I got the kit installed by Fletchers in Malaga and would not recommend them after my car was spotted driving around with an unpainted body kit.





With the body kit fitted I then decided to move on to suspension I went with KW V3s, I wont lie in my time I haven’t done much tuning with them and have not pushed them to their full potential I was more interested in the stance.





After playing around with a couple different sets of tail lights I decided to buy a spare set of stock tail lights and Night Shade them black to go with my black and red theme I was going for. Also replaced my plasti dipped badges with Matte black Grazio ones as the plasti-dip began to peel. I also fitted a BRZ diffuser covering those exhausts. New slim line plates fitted finally naming my baby “Unrivaled” as she was about to get a kick in the backside.





Off to Tokyo Motor Sports she went for a week to get a Sprintex Stage 2 supercharger installed into her. Sprintex is a great company and the power increase in the car is amazing with that little kit the car was just a beast. Would recommend this supercharger to anyone that was interested.





After some height adjustments I purchased a set of works to fit to my car finally getting rid of those stock wheels! (25,000kms Later haha) the rims are wrapped with ku36s.







Mid November of 2013 was a sad day whilst been out on a West Australian club cruise with my Girlfriend we were told to pull over by other club members. As I came to a stop smoke started to come out of my engine bay. The car was on fire by the time we had got the fire Extinguisher most of the fire had been put out by the radiator hose that blew. The damage was done. The fire had gone through the engine and the car was now a write off. Insurance Paid me out and I began to re-evaluate.



December. 2013.
I purchased a World Rally Blue BRZ.
And this is were this chapter ends.
