Anyone in YVR area know this car?
 

I just picked up a very lightly used 2016 BRZ Sport-Tech (~2500kms) from a local Mazda dealer (prior owner apparently traded for a new MX-5) that included a number of modifications. I'm trying to track down the build history to find out exactly what has been done to to it (and what shop worked on it). So far I have identified:

1. AP Racing BBK front/rear
2. Ohlins coilovers
3. Eibach anti-roll kit
3. Final drive ratio change (not sure part/brand)
4. 18 inch rims (still trying to figure out model/brand)
5. Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08 R 265/35/18 all around (I have swapped out to all season Michelin's and am selling the Yokos)
6. WeatherTech mats in front/rear/trunk

Thanks.

That's a nice package that came with the twin, mind disclosing how much you paid?

Wow good deal....

Thanks. My only concern is maintenance with the BBK and the cost of the pads/rotors. I'm trying to get in touch with the original owner (through the dealership where I bought the car) to find out exactly what has been done. It will make getting replacement parts much easier...

I don't know about Vancouver, but here in Ontario we can order a Used Vehicle Information Package at a service center and it will list all previous owners.

Maybe you guys have something of that equivalence if all else fails.

Come join the FT86club Vancouver group someone may know this car

Are you referring to the Facebook group? All of the links i Googled redirect to an invalid FB page.

Wow. So jealous.

Dat price... congrats :) welcome to the club!

Thanks! I've only had the car for 3 days and this forum has been a ton of help.

try the ft86 vancouver club on facebook..

It's a private group, so you'll need to join it first to read anything.

You're going to have a hard time finding information for anything YVR related away from facebook. The Vancouver guys avoid forums so hard, their own dedicated website/forum got shut down.

Here's the link to the facebook group

I've never seen before at any of the meets.

@c8Face Someone in the facebook group says he knows the previous owner.

That's great, I just joined the FB group...waiting for authorization. Thanks!

I wonder why the previous owner would spend the money to install a BBK. It's not like the car needs one for the stock power. Maybe he tracked it? The fact that he paid top dollar for Ohlins also supports this.

Nice ride

When I bought my used 2013 BRZ Sport Tech couple years ago it had 16,000 clicks and paid $24,500 for it. Only added bonus was the subwoofer amp ready wires run to the back and the pioneer Navi that I find much better.

You financing or do you buy it straight up?

If you're financing what interest rate did they give you?


Edit: Wait did you mean 25k clicks or 2500?

A) why the hell would he invest in a car like this and sell it after 2500 clicks?
B) that is one insane price if it really is 2500 clicks

No, I didn't finance it. Yes, 2560 kms....it's more like a demo car than a pre-owned.

As per

A) Your guess is as good as mine ☺
B) Thanks. I was actually looking at 2013-14 models at first around $20k, but when I saw this I couldn't resist.

You hit the jackpot

Can't even tell if it's tinted, but if so, you just paid a great price for a ride that looks cosmetically perfect in my opinion and if I purchased that I wouldn't even have to touch it.

I don't know if you're like me but I refuse to own any car without a subwoofer. Go get your self a stealthbox a decent amp and woofer, and go pick up women :)


I am all VIP when it comes to my car so performance upgrades just aren't important to me. I didn't buy a 200hp 4 banger for power but for the sheer beauty of its handling, and of course this cars sexy body.

If you want a nice deep sounding ride and for whatever reason are looking to cheap out and avoid a $1k + exhaust system. Berk dual muffler delete. Sounds better than half the shit I hear out there for literally $350 CAD and takes 10 minutes to install.

Damn.... What a deal

YES I DO!

We had a TD (temp duty) to BC and one of the guys didn't want to rent a car. So he purchased that BRZ (dumb choice). It was obviously used to race on weekends, as I remember him doing a lot of stupid things in the parking lot.

I believe he removed his FI and retuned it back to stock before selling it. It was driven pretty hard from what I remember... however it is a sports car so you'll be fine

Edit

I just re read what I typed out. It did sound like I was raining on your parade. My bad if you took it to heart. At the end of the day you got an awesome deal regardless if it was beat on. Cheers :)

such low KM's and all the upgrades. I'm sure the warranty is voided with the breaks and diff right? Even so, that price is killer! Good find!

No worries...those are the risks of buying a used car :)

I'm fairly confident the FD is still in the diff based on my rpms at speed. If it is the same car your are referring to, it doesn't look like it was beat on at all. The AD08R's were in perfect shape (I actually sold them already and bought Michelin AS3+ instead). Apparently the previous owner traded it for a new Mazda MX5 so he must still be in BC?

Out of curiosity, what kind of work is "Temp Duty"? Is this military?

After a lot of internet searching, I did figure out the shop that performed most of the work. Some links below:

Per the comment on warranty, there have been no mods to the engine (not even an air filter), so hopefully I'm still covered in that department.

Temporary duty is basically what it sounds like. He was in BC for a few months and wanted to drive back to ontario with his new ride.

Theres no warranty on wear and tear items anyway

Call ap racing and find out exactly what you need. Rotors should last a while if your not tracking the car not to mention has no kms on it. Complete overkill on a steet car tho.

Good deal tho! Every car gets beat on. I hope thats why you buy a sports car.. but yours has under 3k kms which is peanuts.

The AP kit is actually from Stillen. I've contacted them about replacement parts and although quite a bit more than stock, the price isn't too bad.
