BRZ STI Parts and PBMS Race Car Revealed in Sydney

Though it’s not quite the new BRZ STI model we’ve been hoping for, Subaru has unveiled a range of performance upgrades for the BRZ sports car developed by its performance arm Subaru Tecnica International. The upgrades were previewed today on a concept vehicle at the 2012 Australian Motor Show taking place in Sydney, and are said to be going on sale soon.

The highlight of the new range is a sporty body kit consisting of a front spoiler, side sills, rear diffuser and trunk lid spoiler. Also previewed today were new 17-inch light alloy wheels, a coil spring set, a sports muffler, adjustable strut tower bar for the front suspension, and a few interior bits and pieces.

So far the range has only been confirmed for the Australian market, though they do hint at some of the upgrades that may be offered to customers in the U.S. and other markets where the BRZ is sold.

In addition to the STI-enhanced concept, Subaru also showcased a BRZ race car developed by Possum Bourne Motor Sport (PBMS) and available for order from the New Zealand-based firm.

Designed for club-level competition, the race car is built to order and features upgrades such as a full roll cage, Recaro racing bucket seats with six-point Sabelt harnesses, carbon fiber interior panels, 18-inch Enkei wheels, AP brakes, Cusco adjustable suspension, and much, much more.

PBMS has stated it plans to offer more extensive upgrades, including modification of the engine and transmission, though no details on these have been released yet.
Here is the BRZ race car developed by Possum Bourne Motor Sport (PBMS):

So they get rid of that ugly rear spoiler for a nice sleek one. Thank god.
I really would like to see an actual STI instead of accessories.

OrbitalEllipses 10-18-2012 07:00 AM

Appear to be the same parts that have been in the Japan catalogue.

I'm comparing it to the limited trim spoiler. I know the STI concept has the same spoiler , but in CF form.

That's what it looks like to me too. Bit of paint makes a big difference I suppose. :)

DantKR 10-18-2012 08:58 AM

That spoiler is still ugly as sin.

raul 10-18-2012 10:02 AM

Kill that roof scoop with FIRE.

p0wyangz 10-18-2012 10:03 AM

What a tease to the Aussie since most of them won't get their cars until next year

Jayde 10-18-2012 10:07 AM

Those black STI wheels!!!! Want!!!!! :drool:

Fenrir 10-18-2012 10:12 AM

Sometimes I feel I'm the only person who likes the Limited rear spoiler :\

Do want the sideskirts and lip though.

I like the limited wing. Better than anything else I've seen so far.

It's the only thing I wanted from the limited. I liked it so much I bought it for my premium.

LeeMaster 10-18-2012 11:23 AM

Where is the rear bumper pieces at? I only see a rear diffuser....

ichitaka05 10-18-2012 11:39 AM

I thought STI exhaust were quad tip? Or maybe I'm thinking of concept STI

whats the point of the roof scoop again on the race model

switchlanez 10-18-2012 12:12 PM

Anyone recognize what Enkei model those gold wheels are on the race-prepped version?

On rally cars its to create a positive pressure inside the car to keep dust and other stuff out.

http://jalopnik.com/5893014/this-is-...ve-roof-scoops

I guess the video is down but it use to show the scoop getting ripped off and then the car filled with dust... Then it crashed.

Tylub 10-18-2012 12:26 PM

OMG Sti exhaust. Wonder how that would sound :popcorn:

CBR600RR 10-18-2012 12:29 PM

Already two vids made by what seems like Japanese owners.

http://youtu.be/1se5eALne2s
http://youtu.be/7t7guC-epPI

From the videos, the sound is more subtle than what you can get aftermarket, but good nonetheless.

There are also a few posts on the boards about it if you do a search.

If only the price was lower... it's only an axleback!

My bad! haha Great minds...

I'm looking for those rally wheels because I know I've seen them before recently, but they're not on Enkei's website or Tirerack.

I'm also VERY surprised they're not showing the STI rear spats.

^ that's one awkward looking spoiler, what's up with the blue light on the muffler? I hope the blue led isn't part of the lower bumper...

Circuit Motorsports 10-18-2012 01:28 PM

The Wheels and the Lip look good, and the Side skirts look OK but I think they need to be body colored.

Everything else is blah.

MannyO 10-18-2012 01:45 PM

I can see a few things on these cars that I wouldn't mind owning...the roof scoop and STi spoiler not being one of them.

To make negative air pressure inside the cabin so smoke/dust doesn't fill it. I assume anyway. Just like rally cars have and use.

It looks to me like they are setting this car up for more rally action than anything else, so I would imagine the scoop would be to keep air flowing into the cabin, for both cooling as well as dust mitigation.

Just a guess though.

Turbowned 10-18-2012 02:14 PM

All I want is that carbon fiber center console. And I want it nowwwww!

xwd 10-18-2012 02:36 PM

Yeah it looks more like a rally setup than anything else. Not too many circuit cars have tall hydraulic hand brakes... Wonder what they will end up charging for the CF interior door panels, etc.

Guff 10-18-2012 02:50 PM

CF Mani Cover? SO UNNECESSARY BUT YES PLEASE.

Also, STi wheels, lip, skirts, exhaust. ALL WANT.

Calum 10-18-2012 04:04 PM

Those rims... Perfection.

sevi21 10-18-2012 04:15 PM

Im definitely diggin all those sti parts yo!
