6 Attachment(s)
2013 Subaru BRZ Limited
I've had my car since September of 2013. It was a wedding present from my wife.
A special thanks to a few people that helped me with my parts,

Ian@MAperformance
Shiv@Openflash

Seibon VS Hood
AeroCatch Locking Hood Pins
Cusco Carbon Fiber Antenna
Abflug Carbon Fiber Spoiler
Lamin-X Window Tint
Cusco Front and Rear Towhook (Because Racecar!)
Tom's Tail Lights




Wheels:
Rays Gram Lights 57C6 18x8.5 +35mm offset
Red Rays Center Caps
Black Rays Lightweight Lugs
Nitto NT555 255/35/18


Suspension:
Tein S Tech Springs

Rear Strut Tower Brace

Engine:

At this time, I am done modifying my car probably. I may do a few small cosmetic things, or adjustable coilovers. I'm not sure. I only have 17k miles on it, so my wife is making me wait till I go thru the warranty before I supercharge or turbo it. As soon as I figure out how to post pictures I will. Everything with the exception of mounting and balancing the tires has been done by myself and my family. Better built than bought IMO.


Thanks for reading.

do you track this or is it a hard parker?

FloridaBRZ 03-07-2015 06:37 PM

I was planning on tracking it. I was diagnosed with cancer a year ago. I am in remission now and plan on tracking it as soon as season is over for me. I am an executive chef at a country club in south Florida, so there is no time for anything at the moment. But I am definitely excited about getting to a track.

FloridaBRZ 03-16-2015 05:26 PM

HP to dollar. What is a better buy? Working on my wife for a turbo or supercharger.

jdmblood 03-16-2015 05:58 PM

you should post up some pictures! and hoping everything goes well!

Hey, how does the exhaust sound like with exhaust? Is it loud?

No... Its actually really nice. ZERO drone, no popping... its pretty sexy in my opinion.


As far as pictures, all I have is an Iphone 6 and a Surface tablet. I don't do a lot of forum pictures, so if someone could tell me how to post them, I would be happy to.


Thanks,
Tim

in for pics. post em up!

Host your photos on a site like imgur, phtobucket, something like that. Then use the bb image code to paste into here. Should be the code that has img in front and at the end of it.

FloridaBRZ 03-17-2015 11:06 PM

okay. I will post photos tomorrow. I can assure you they wont be the best, but I will try and get some. Any particular shots or angles anyone wants? Im pretty flush on wheels/tires/fenders. I have about 2mm of poke on the front, but that's cuz I didn't run a 245 on the front instead of a 255. Was hoping to be able to rotate my tires. Not really noticeable, but I notice it. Lol.

Whoops just don't know what I was thinking but, what I meant was headers and exhaust combo lol.

Yeah, same opinion. I installed my headers first, and noticed a slight difference in sound. Then 3 weeks later did the exhaust. Still a very nice sounding exhaust. Its very deep. I actually set off a few car alarms in a parking garage at the mall. It was funny.

Just try to get some good lighting in a bright area with no direct sun or hard reflections on the car in the lens. Don't need to be a pro, but a cheap cell phone photo at midnight under a dim street light doesn't cut it. lol

FloridaBRZ 03-18-2015 09:29 PM

I put pictures up finally.

FloridaBRZ 03-20-2015 08:18 AM

Ordered all red interior led lights so I can make my red room of pain. (50 shades reference if you didn't read the books or see the movie).

FloridaBRZ 04-03-2015 09:30 PM

Installed all my diode dynamics parts. Super easy install, products were perfect. Would definitely recommend their product if you are looking for something better than stock. I went with all red, but on the outside, the cool white looks really classy.

FloridaBRZ 04-03-2015 09:35 PM

Oh. Completely forgot. Switched to E85 today. Its a 10 minute drive to fill up, but my butt dyno is definitely happier. Now that I'm done with everything, except my turbo kit, I want to get her dyno'd and see what type of horsepower can be made with what I currently have. I'm hoping for about 210 to the wheels. Seem high or reasonable??

I just have to say that I can hear you start your car when I'm sitting on my lanai, so I would say it's deep.

FloridaBRZ 04-28-2015 09:26 PM

Stalker much? :P
