Bought new wheels and tires. And now I play the waiting game.

Called SOA for an update on it, only to find out there's still no VIN or ETA.

:sigh:

Oh, and shrugged once again as someone asked me, "When do you get your car??"

:suicide:

just email subaru. me and 2 other people emailed and got an eta. funny enough the same guy emailed all 3 of us.

the guy actually called my dealership where i placed my order and talked with them and then my dealer actually contacted me after they talked with him giving me more info.

Just installed a SPT oil filler cap and the SPT battery hold down. Looks pretty decent and matches my WRB!

Stared at it longingly before I drove to work in my daily driver car. :(

I bought a daily driver just to keep the miles off of her, but I'm wanting to drive her every day. haha.

Last week, it got new catless headers, new intake charge pipe (but stock airbox) and was dyno'd on 2 seperate dynos, 175-178whp, up from 159 stock. <3

They sound like a couple of very effective mods. More detail on the parts, the supplier, the cost and how easy it was please. How has the increased HP changed the performance?

Well I own maybe like 10 or 11 Subaru BRZ..... pictures.....

Lol

post 3 for this car with catted header back exhaust. One of the very last posts, Jason has the graph comparing the 3 different header designs against eachother and against stock:
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...&postcount=400

The catted header design felt the best down low and helped improve the torque dip to the point that I didn't really care about it any more. The catless has less of those gains down low, but more gains up top- probably better for a track vehicle. It's also louder, obviously.

The axleback I'm running is the nameless with 6" custom made mufflers, that's $550. The downpipe I'm running is a high flow catted design, with the overpipe integrated into it in one piece, so less flanges, less weight, and replaces 2 pipes. I believe that's 500, with cat. The downpipe and axleback by themselves made 11whp across the board with 19whp up past 6500rpm. Add the headers in there, and it goes up to 19whp across the board with up to 25-29whp gain above 6500rpm.

Overall, massive gains. But the car seemed to baseline a little lower than some other cars, so I'd love to see these parts on one of those cars that managed to baseline 165 or 170 whp. I think Drift Office's FR-S is at 167 stock. Man, with these parts, he'd be up near 186 peak whp. that'd be cool to see.

picked up my license plates and put the grimmspeed front plate kit on. was putting the rear plate on and decided it was time to debadge. letters came off really easy and goo gone took care of the leftovers. also called to set up and appointment for window tinting next week.

debating if i should drive 60 miles tomorrow to get the black dc sports exhaust tips from the nearest pep boys.

put in clear marker lights!...love 'em!
