Chuckls' BRZ tS
Figured I'd make one of these. I don't do a whole lotta mods, but I do take a fair amount of racing / trips!
Picked it up Aug 2018 from Florence Kentucky. I am the only owner of it. Ended up being #086/500, so lucky me. Currently it's at almost 30k miles. I've taken it to Florida. Then to the Dragon, back to florida, and then back to Indiana. Lots of highway miles. First mods were a GReddy EvoGT catback and tail light vinyl. https://i.imgur.com/pnGFUrD.jpg Then the VLANDs were introduced to the US. First set of smoked. https://i.imgur.com/mlH2J0A.jpg Installed a Dezod Motorsports catback and then Moved to Tampa Florida in February 2019 and had the car ceramic coated. https://i.imgur.com/9JOY52h.jpg Installed the Verus Engineering front canards/rear diffuser/Slanted Hood Louvers https://i.imgur.com/5Hf3I9u.jpg https://i.imgur.com/cAgjuYP.jpg Took a trip to the Tail of the Dragon for Boxer Takeover, where I met up with another tS owner. https://i.imgur.com/lqTHKLH.jpg https://i.imgur.com/4IpXBwl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/f62JBsh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Gh8HWrQ.jpg |
Moved back to Indiana because Florida sucked (June 2019)
Installed some Fortune Auto 500 series coilovers as well as the Verus Engineering front splitter and endplates. https://i.imgur.com/CH4MQ3F.jpg Car in its current form. https://i.imgur.com/ov2aM8V.jpg Installed a set of JDM Toms tail lights: https://i.imgur.com/2Pf7IHm.jpg https://i.imgur.com/MfnE3SW.jpg |
Picked up the BRZ STi exhaust that seems to be rather uncommon in the USA

Your car looks great. I’ve got the STI axle back on my car, looks and sounds pretty good. It has 13% lower back pressure apparently, but I didn’t notice any difference.

Nice ride. Looking forward to track/other stories. |
Hit up Tougefest 2019 for some fun times.

Not much changed. Swapped out the wheels from my 18x9.5s to some 17x9+38 Rays 57CRs in Gun Blue w/ RE71Rs

Do you purposely run a forward bias rake?

Im really bad at updating.
So, big update. Reccently acquired a Full Race Borg Warner EFR 7163 turbo kit. This is the same setup used by @VerusEric had in his BRZ. I've essentially mimic'd his setup. Verus Radiator + fans, Verus AOS, ID1050X injectors. PTuning Flex Fuel kit. https://i.imgur.com/AQNlQ2T.jpg No mustache. https://i.imgur.com/XhBFX9W.jpg |
Why go back to the sti front lip?

No luck with getting insurance to replace it and the exhaust then? |
I dont update this as I Should.
But the car is finished tuning on E85. It's a rocket to say the least. I need to go wider than 255 to keep grip. https://i.imgur.com/McnMEUz.jpg Testing Verus' rear louvers on the hood. https://i.imgur.com/QwWD50j.jpg |
I suck at keeping up.
So the car has been boosted on a Full race BW 7163 EFR kit for about 12000 miles. No hiccups. Just survived a move to Raleigh NC. Had a small shoot prior to moving by a local friend. https://i.imgur.com/PKyMaHY.jpg https://i.imgur.com/8XQncsR.jpg Also added in a Verus Engineering Composite adjustable splitter to prepare for new tracks I have access to in Raleigh! https://i.imgur.com/pyqWxtK.jpg https://i.imgur.com/IQbIoWo.jpg https://i.imgur.com/TgW3t0D.jpg 'https://i.imgur.com/uMLaXqt.jpg https://i.imgur.com/6RLJy7O.jpg https://i.imgur.com/nsxaBtL.jpg https://i.imgur.com/eJi9TPI.jpg |
What did you use for the mesh grill?

Shewt it's been a hot minute. A lot has happened since Aug 2021.
Many ToTD trips. I'm considered a regular in the area now. Was gifted a pair of Hoosier A7 takeoffs that were relatively new. https://i.imgur.com/zmY1RV1.jpg Added some of Jeremy's new momentum switches. https://i.imgur.com/2XYOTE6.jpg Used my last few weeks in NC going on road trips. https://i.imgur.com/rrupCL6.jpg https://i.imgur.com/tlKOqK3.jpg https://i.imgur.com/m3yovFR.jpg |
Moved to Atlanta GA in June 2022.
https://i.imgur.com/PGxcRmn.jpg On my way to pick up a stock D4S hood (Going tracspec vents), a piece of metal flew off a car and took out my passenger mirror assembly. https://i.imgur.com/oVAV3yB.jpg https://i.imgur.com/NX3jIqC.jpg Picked up a second set of Rays 57CR in a discontinued / harder to find color (HS Gunmetallic) https://i.imgur.com/zVoZfb8.jpg Created a partnership with Speed Foundry of Roswell and had them toss on some 255 RT660s. https://i.imgur.com/i6HewA9.jpg Picked up JDLs newest single exit for the Gen1 BRZ. Hands down my favorite exhaust. https://i.imgur.com/ydjpEPd.jpg Sat idle until about August and I began my HPDE preps. Turbo drain line failed, so I disassembled the car for some maintenance + get the drain line remade. https://i.imgur.com/b09araS.jpg |
Drove up to SIA (Subaru of Indiana) for the 2022 Subie Challenge.
https://i.imgur.com/0oORXIa.jpg Ceramic coated the Rays and threw them on for some scrubbing before Road Atlanta. https://i.imgur.com/jeeFDUj.jpg Worked with Speed Foundry of Roswell on Ian's UCW with TRD spoiler integration. https://i.imgur.com/3il8t62.jpg Did a nut/bolt and fluid check before heading out to RA this past weekend https://i.imgur.com/qYS628z.jpg |
Road atlanta was an absolute blast. It was my first time + first time in general on a track (Was touge / AutoX only prior)
My first day was spent learning the general basics of HPDE. As expected I picked up relatively quickly and was moved up from Green to Blue on Day2. This was my first time matching a time I wasn't intending on chasing, but you know how competition amongst friends is. Gotta hit the times your friends are making. https://youtu.be/VbC7Lf7R5UA This was my fastest time of the weekend. 1:43 flat. I have lots of time to gain, I was hindered by pad choise (HP+). Better pads - Later braking - more time. My line work can also be improved. https://youtu.be/4VzCyHTtjo0 |
