2017 BRZ lasted 1.5 hours and 32km before new shoes :)
 

So just took delivery of my 2017 DGM BRZ at 1pm.

2:30pm rolls around and I'm getting wheels :D

18 x 9.5" Rays 57Transcend
Hankook RS3

Got MCA traction mod and MCA XR series coilovers coming in a week.

Behold the majesty (seriously, pics don't do the paint job justice, this car is stunning). It's all sparkly and amazing. It gives me a funny butterfly feeling in my stomach :D

Noob here: why on earth do you need a traction mod if you have 9.5" wide wheels on bone stock power?
Is it with future plans in mind or?

P.S. Lovely color! Been contemplating on wrapping mine in gloss gunmetal in a while.

What is this stock power you speak of? Yeah... I'm going to drive it for a little, then decide on TBO, or headers and an SC. Might keep it stock... not sure.

Traction mod just means you can floor it earlier when exiting a corner... allegedly. Considering I span it and rolled down a hill ending upside down in someones front yard, traction is something I'm after :D

and it's cheap and made by MCA so it must be good amirite? :P

Yeah, I wasn't sold on the colour from photos, but my writeoff was white, so I didn't want to repeat that. This dark grey is glittery, and absolute magic in the sunlight. Hard to capture on camera unfortunately.

His last car (really it is):

Name change to hardgrip?

I like how grey wheels play with the grey car. Enjoy!

Is that OEM STI front lip? How is the fit on that MY2017 bumper?

It's the OEM STI full body kit - and the fit is immaculate.

Did Australia not get the revised rear spoiler or did you change it?

I have 18x9.5 rims wrapped in PSS on mine, and the rear end still kicks out even with a completely stock motor. I could see wanting more rear grip myself, as long as it wouldn't make the car less predictable when the back tires finally do lose traction.

This car is not underpowered. People who think it is need to stop trying to race Mustangs red light to red light.

What's the offset on those?

I like that spoiler you have there; very subtle.

Can anyone kindly tell me what is DGM?

I know.

Is that dark grey same as the 2016 or different shade for 2017?

Same. No colour changes were made for 17.

I think this dude has lost it, went on, and gone and flipped his lid!

Understand the want for more traction now too! ;)

All in jest OP, all in jest! :)

Well it is Australia so maybe he just got a car made for the northern hemisphere and it went back to it's natural state.

lol, well played!

I think the most interesting thing about the picture is the "guardrail" that perhaps helped the car stay where it ended up!

Glad the OP was safe and able to enjoy a another BRZ!

They make 2017 versions of the lip kit, specifically for the MY17 cars. I have one on my 2017 BRZ as well (see videos in sig).

PS: Nice car! Love DGM!

is that spoiler part of the STI kit as well? looks really subtle (which I like)

It's the STI lip spoiler.

+39 according to the invoice, but I think actually +38.

It's got 235/40/18r Rubber on it.

Currently fitted on the STI pink springs - so very slightly lowered.

I'll try to add it to the wheel figment guide when I get time/cbf - I noticed there are no 57 transcends.

I spun anti-clockwise, I think that's the same as when we flush the toilet.... er...I mean the dunny mate. Yingyang hooleydooley shrimp on the barbie

That "guard rail" was actually held together by a stick as thick as your thumb. Another suby went off there the week before, so the fence was pretty sick.

Considering it's for aesthetic purpose only, it's one of the ugliest fences I've ever seen. :) I did the guy a favor.

Loving your new set up! The front lip, side & rear skirts, and spoiler all from STi catalogue. I'm digging it! Congrats on the '17 BRZ!

Two words: it should!!!!!!

Btw, took it for my first "spirited" drive.

Firstly, the esc/tcs updates in the 2017 are phenomenal. With the stickier and wider tyres, I only had 1 instance of the light going on while in standard mode, and that was launching up a hill on gravel. By comparison, the 2016 on standard rubber would kick in on almost every corner, making me drive exclusively in vsport or full off.

I haven't tried track yet, but will at some point if I start reaching the limits of standard.

On paper, the updates between 2016-2017 might look small, but I can tell you right now, the car is punchier, better suspension feel, better acceleration... and with the tyres it's transformed into something magical.

I was blown away with the fun I had in the 2016, but this just feels like a slight upgrade everywhere. 2x thumbs up.

Even the stereo sounds better.

Head unit still sucks balls though :( but slightly better than prior model.

Wouldn't the revised STI front lip fit better?

It's the whole option OEM kit. If there's another floating around, it's not optioned in Australia.

Hah, yeah might be safer if I remove it ;)

That's the extent of my photoshop skill. Blue flag means "move over."

Thought I am the only one who spot the difference:D

The OP's front spoiler doesn't have that little "wing" on each corner like 2017 STI Front Spoiler should have.

Glad you kept it upright this time :D
