I just recently picked up a stock 2013 BRZ. Have have been quite into Autocross the last 3 years and have based my BRZ decision around that. I have had a few subarus in the past and my most recent car was a 2006 MX-5. The BRZ has been a better car for daily use as well as getting my tires, jack, tools, etc to where it need to go without trailer.

I am a couple months in my Build and am currently Playing in SCCA Solo C-Street until after nationals (have a bit of a rival/best friend living across the county I need to beat in CS before I move to STX). I will be competing locally with SCCA UTAH region. I will be giving reviews, and documenting my build as I learn to drive and enjoy the new car. Feel free to ask questions on installed parts.

Was all but 2 days before the Hankooks were put on. and a couple days later had my first Autocross.


I dont do a whole lot of cosmetic modification (Other than my weird fascination with decals) but tried the yellow fog look for the first time


CS only allows a few modifications, so I replaced the one allowed sway bar with a Whiteline bar I found used. Also wanted to inexpensively drop some fat so went with the rawest form of the Nameless muffler delete so save over 20 some pounds. I absolutely love how simple but high quality this thing is. Also went with Hawk HP+ as I like a bit more aggressive pads.







The last modification to date is ARP extended studs. Tire shop and I broke about half of the standard studs (no idea what the original owner had done). Was tired of replacing studs so did it one last time!



SCCA Match tour had made a stop in Utah so I had to make an appearance. Drove quite poorly but it was a lot of fun in the 100+ heat of the weekend!





I have quite a bit planned for the car and quite a lot to learn driving the car. Despite flying through my first post here, Ill be able to provide more detail to future modification. For now STX is my goal but will be looking into some NASA TT for the future as well.

The 2015 season has come to and end. Ended up First in class locally with SCCA Utah and had a bad showing at my first Nationals but had a great time.


With that and the decision to make the move to STX a while ago, the accumulated parts started to be installed.

The first was a few of the Kartboy items I have collected including a Short Shifter, Rear shifter bushing, Battery tie down and Oil cap.






While not really huge in gain for STX, the shifter has been great. Super quality and makes the driving experience better. Pulley helped a bit but its not night and day while the other stuff was just for fun and thrown on since the order was made. Everything Kartboy has been awesome, wish they made more BRZ parts!

More has been done to this point and Ill update further soon.
