New to Forums BRZ Blue Edition

Purchased a Blue Edition earlier this month, love the car so far. I am still in break in period so not too much done to car yet. Exterior most likely will remain as is, it is a daily driver so I am still researching engine and induction upgrades.
I also put my MRS in one of the pictures for fun. It is slightly upgraded motor wise, full intake and exhaust, almost full suspension upgraded, just missing some beefier end links, full body kit I pieced together form 3 different kits I liked.

Post ended up on general board, meant to add to existing sticky post, thanks to mod if moved.

Blue series really looks good in white! Just needs some clear side markers! Congrats

The modern P-car neighbor seeing these two cars sitting on the driveway must be jelly.

Thanks for the hello's

Very true those side markers look good, I saw some vendors here offered them, it may be the only exterior touch for a little while.

It is unfair right now, the MR-S almost has full suspension components, and is almost fully braced.
I would say the MRS corners better but the BRZ can and will be better, its starting point is much higher, in terms of power and ability. I think in a year I will test them against each other, but right now the MRS wins.

The mid engine setup is insane and the balance is perfect, the steering response and nimbleness are unmatched in any other car I have driven.

The BRZ/FRS/86 have the same feel, that is why I love driving the car.

My neighbors are all mustang guys, one has a 68 fast back, one has a 04 cobra, two have newer GT's. They are all car guys so they like to talk about their mods and what I have done to my cars, it is cool, we all share tools and knowledge.

Welcome aboard. Nice cars.

You have 2 amazing cars, I've always wanted an MRS when I was younger lol and good choice on the BRZ

Nice! Making me miss mine ;( & congrats!

Here's a picture of the tires. I'm not sure if it's 7.5" or 8.5" Attachment 85981

Lol, no contest. MR-S. Superior agility, superior braking (not even close), easily pulls over 1.0g with the right set of tires.

Where the 86 wins is progressive RWD balance and control via throttle and superior high speed performance and stability.

Welcome to the 86 and MR-S owners club. There's quite a few of us here. You got a hardtop for that thing?
