Just bought a WRB limited
After thinking about it and lurking here on the forums and hemming and hawing, I finally pulled the trigger yesterday. What a sweet car. Decided to go with the manual transmission even though I have only every driven autos before. It's gonna take me a few weeks to get it down, and the first drive to work today in traffic was terrifying, but I'll get the hang of it.
Man, it feels good... |

Thanks! I am looking forward to learning.
|
Congrats and welcome!
|
I learned on a jeep wrangler... First car!! The shifter is much better on the twins.
|
Congrats and enjoy!
|
well done!
|
:happy0180:good choice!
|
congrats!!
|
Congrats! My BRZ was my first MT car, too—though I owned a motorcycle for several years, so the concepts weren't new to me. I'm coming up on 4 weeks of ownership, feeling pretty comfortable now. Practice practice practice. Find a nice empty business parking lot at night to practice getting it into first.
|
The BRZ is light and toquey enough to let up the clutch slowly in 1st without giving it extra gas for practicing and learning the grab points.

Will be posting some pics as soon as I get home to my real camera. Hopefully the light will still be good. |
Congrats, just noticed your last car was an 02 RSX, had the same car and loved it
To this day, I feel bad about trading it in :) |

What a gangster-- I think you'll be glad you got the manual in the end, even if the first few weeks have their interesting moments. It's so much fun rowing the box on a twisty road!

Congrats man, and have a look at these videos. This guy gives a lot of good tips that other how to videos miss.

Looks fantastic, I picked up it's identical twin for my personal car! The more I drive it, the more I like it.
This shot does it for me :) https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6...SC00803_sm.jpg Thanks, Rick |
Awesome pictures Bro!!
Now, Congratulation. Nice Color. Let's the MODS begin |
Gonna wait on the mods for now. Maybe eventually, but for now I am just going to enjoy the car stock.
But thanks for the posts everyone. The community here is awesome. |

Its odd that there are still plenty of more ways to see the BRZ. I guess that glare of the sky and the building helps catch a different point of view, which I like. |
I sure wish the FR-S was available in that color. That's what I really wanted.
|
Looks great...of course it's the perfect color.
Welcome to the club. |
Congrats on the car guy! And that picture of the headlight that people are referencing is a good shot. Pretty spot on. Strange how even though I own the car and look at it everyday seeing it from angles like that just make me appreciate it even more.

Welcome aboard brother WRB for finally pulling the trigger. I feel the same way about buying a Colt LE6920, you have inspired me. Now to move the wife out of my way and just do it.

Took about a month for me to get used to MT, I learned on an old M3 though. BRZ is super super light and precise compared to the M3, but the M3 was really easy to learn on - bigger engine and fewer gears = more forgiving? :P (at least it felt like I didn't stall that much.... managed to stall the brz like 3 times the first week =( then we changed the clutch position and it was a lot easier)

@Tone she looks great. But you're making me nervous with that concrete parking divider!
