Nice!

Went for the auto dajoian? Congrats, looks so good in white!

Thanks!

Yeah, got it in auto because it'll be my only car for work and whatnot. Plus the ex-gf wanted to drive it if I was unavailable... :sigh:

Anyways, I got the car in white and it's auto with paddle shifters; from reviews, and having drove one in person myself, I've got no regrets...

My stick-shifting playtime is over for now...unless I decide to keep the MR-S in the end lol

i've driven an frs with paddles a couple of time, and its super fun! <3 the sport mode. can't lose going either way in this car, just a blast to drive. i thought about keeping my aw11, but once i got my zn6, i couldn't think of a reason why i would need it. looking forward to what you're going to do with your brz! :happy0180:

you should go for manual but for sure either way you will enjoy it!

congrats

More pictures! Picked her up today and got her home safely inside the garage...Now waiting for Opti-coat!

My first post! My wife ordered a SWP Limited AT as well in late June. Hope to get it between May or June!
Like your new tail pipe looks great! Where did you get them? What brand and how much?

feel good once you very the call doesn't it haha

looks great can't wait for the photoshoots

Congrats and welcome to the board!

The new tips are from Canadian Tire..."Tuned Performance Exhaust, stainless steel exhaust tip" :lol:30 bucks for each; $67 for both. They're 2.25" Inlet, 4" Outlet. Inlet is a little big for our bare pipes, so you'll need to spend some time adjusting those bolts to make them look right.

These look great for now over the stock tips as they stand out alittle more; not screaming rice, but not tiny enough to be made fun of. Alternatively, you can get the JDM ones which would cost you almost triple the price if you really want that look... For me, this is just a temporary appearance quick fix until a nice axleback I want is out.

Also, I had to chase down a Crappy Tire to get these...haha, I went to three CT and none of them had these. Finally, went all the way down to Richmond's CT on Steveston Hwy and fortunately they had a few left. Happy hunting!

Opti-coating this baby this weekend! We should totally do a small meetup/photoshoot! Perhaps at QE park or down at Granville Island!...Stanley Park??

P.S. I've got a buddy who's pro with SLR cameras and he promised to take some shoots!

Nice looking forward to it!

Looks like a solid number of us have our cares now we should deff set up a cruise and shoot

Thanks!!!!

Congrats and enjoy your new BRZ =)

That's my favorite color, looks good man!

UPDATE:

Car has now been Opti-coated!

Also added a few more things to the car as well =D

Autodimming/compass/homelink rear-view mirror:

Grimmspeed's license plate relocator:

...And finally took off all the seat wrappers!
http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w...Z/DSC_0362.jpg

lookin good congrats

licence plate location too much to the left its blocking the lights

It's just the angle of the picture that was taken. If you look directly at the front of the car, it's fine. I'll get another picture tomorrow.

So added a few more things yet again...I don't think I can ever stop putting money into this thing...

Added the FR-S mud guards (Pictures of the actual guards on the car are still pending...completely forgot to take pictures of it after installation...fml)

BRZ meets FR-S
http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w.../DSC_03631.jpg

It has now become a tradition for BRZ/FR-S owners to take pictures of their odometer when reached "86" to honour the 86!

Pretty late on this, but congratulations! =)

Thanks! :happy0180:

Oh, and here are some of the pictures of the License Plate relocated with Grimmspeed's bracket (Not obstructing the DRL/Foglights at all), and also the mudguards I love so so much!

Late, but congratulation on your clean White Brz..

How many "86" can you find on this single receipt? Filled up after the Vancouver 86 Day meet!

FYI, this is the FIRST fill-up for the BRZ... 94 Octane, NO ethenol; from Chevron.

http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w.../DSC_04051.jpg

haha i took q picture of my odo at 86km too

Everyone should of! XD :paddle:

Update:

I ordered a spare tow-hook bumper cover for the BRZ (Only came out to be $4.55 after HST!) last week and just got it in from Toronto yesterday. Had time today, so I went ahead and tried to ghetto-style drill it for the GrimmSpeed License Plate Relocator.

It looks horrifying, I know... But I had no other tools to do it flawlessly. Anyways, had to be creative/crafty.

First I used a drill (I only had 1 drill bit size...), drill the cover and pretty much just kept drilling around to make the hole bigger. After it was done, the edges were just horrific, so I used hot glue to stick a piece of craft-foam around the edges to hide as many of the imperfections as I can... The hole turned out a little too big... but oh well. I got the extra one that I ordered!

Here are the pictures...*Warning* may cause your eyes to bleed a little. (You've been warned!)

EDIT: Ended up getting a new part from Subaru again and re-did it with the help from Narfy! Now it looks perfect!

:bellyroll::lol: the ROFLcopter has taken flight...

You...baaastaaadddd!! :paddle::bonk: LOL

I think someone needs to ask Santa for a dremel .....

Look what I found in the mail. :lol: 2 bucks for doing a long @55 survey...
http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w.../DSC_04542.jpg

Lol yeah I got that too. Sorry not worth my time for 2 bucks

If it's the same survey we have in the U.S. it's worth hundreds if not thousands for your sales rep and dealership. If you had a good experience with them, please take the time to do it! We make our living on good customer satisfaction ratings.

On top of the 2 bucks, you get a chance to win $10,000, $2,500 or $1,000. :bonk:

Did my first oil change on the BRZ today at 22XX KM...
Used OEM Subaru Engine Oil, Filter, and drain plug crush washer...

I see specks of engine metal shavings, but they don't look big enough to actually harm the engine.

Who makes oem Subaru oil is it Nippon Japan ?

Nope...unfortunately made in US.

http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w...Z/DSC_0533.jpg

:( I'm on a quest for Nippon oil for my 2nd oil change ( first was free at the dealer ) I think I'll order up some eneos oil for the spring when mine goes back on the road.
