The Time has come, The Zaku Story
 

The quote above is my introduction from 2009, I joined 4 days after the forums started and as of this moment I am actually the oldest member in terms of longevity on this forum, no one else from that time is still around except for the Owner Hachiroku, even the Staffs joined after me.
In this the 8 years I have spent on this forums, I've bought media, information and participated in Three 86 Expo all three I help staff in. Whenever there was a media event for the cars I was there to help coverage for the forums and over the years I have been humbled and earn the trust of many members, community,manufacturer employee many whom I considered friends and some family. Had the chance to interview engineers, the pleasure to meet Tada-San and Moto-san and many many more people I'm glad I had the chance to meet.

This platform helped me launch my career in the automotive industry, many of you know what I do for a living. But I like to think of myself as another member. But I guess at this point I am probably one of the handful and oldest Original Generation member from 2009 remaining.

However, there was one thing I did not do over the 8 years... and that was own the experience.

Well that ended today.

Today I am an Owner of a 2017 Subaru BRZ Limited : )

I look forward to many more year on this forums, and contributing as much as I can like before, I love it here. Over the years it has become my home.


Cheers to the twins.

I'll be happy to answer any questions anyone has for me, as long as I am able to talk about it.

Moved

Wow, welcome, fellow owner! Glad to have you finally behind the wheel of a twin!!!

Congrats on finally getting the car!!

Side note: If that's your house, I'm very jelly! :)

Hahaha no I live in a modest size room, that's a house in a neighborhood where my boss lives. Which is funny cause that house is an average of what's in that neighborhood, I believe there's a castle somewhere around there. Literally a castle.

Ha, it's about time!

Also, kudos for picking the better of the two.














:scared0016:

Congrats.

Congrats! On this refresh I like the BRZ front bumper more than the 86's. Looks good. Clear sidemarker perhaps?

Alas you are forced to give your story to the masses! So you went with the white, I'm jealous as you know I had to re-order mine and I wont be seeing it until dec-jan. = [

Congrats! now start pulling it apart and nailing things on!

Yeah, the story was I ordered a Silver, but then they ordered me a wrong transmission. It came in Automatic, and they offered up this white instead. I would cancel and get PP like you, but at the price and deal I was getting it wasn't worth it. I also still have the s2000 in case I ever want to track it's already ready.

I actually like the Orange! I might change it later, I also want the JDM fang lights.

first mod might be an armrest, the GF is complaining about not having one.

Can't decide if I want the Scion sliding or GT86OEM or just something from ebay.

Congrats on the car! Glad to see you finally picked it up.




OEM GT86 for sure! The sliding Scion one feels like an afterthought.

Congratulations on your purchase - it's a great looking car. You have a very cool story and I'm really happy for you to finally be a participant, and not just a spectator!

Best of luck to you and keep us posted on your ownership experience.

Freakin' amateurs.
