BRRRRZ, You're as Cold As Ice: Fun DD Build Journal
 

Hi all,

I've been procrastinating on doing a build journal. I have a lot of backlogged material, so i'll try to organize it as much as possible. New stuff going on I will add a new post to the thread.

I have a 2014 BRZ Premium (Sterling Silver Metallic) that I bought in September of 2016 at 26,XXX miles and oh my god.... What a car. This is my first adult car, coming from a base Ford Focus so its been fun. I kinda want to "end" the build being supercharged with an Edelbrock supercharger but lets be real.. builds don't end. I DD my car so I just want to make the fun aspect a little more fun. Once that happens, I think I have achieved my goals.

I am so proud of what I have done to this car... because if you knew me just three years ago, I didnt know anything about anything with cars. I learned everything from reading, help from others, and just being attentive.

So for a year and a half, I kinda just started to roll around bone stock.. to really learn the car and feel the car. You guys know what I mean. But when Spring of 2018 hit. I knew I wanted a better suspension system, wheels, and tires. Now I was so confused on what to get. I actually bought stuff thinking I was going to put them on then I changed my mind and ended up selling them... (WedsSport SA-10R's, Swift Springs) Also I put a payment on Bilstein B8's But they were LITERALLY backordered for months, so I just had enough and ordered the KW V1's. So here was the wonderful choosing process in pictures. I found a set of used RPF1s with the tires that I couldnt pass up so I went with those.

PS: I had Gear One Performance in West Chester, PA gives me an awesome alignment for DD use with some fun. Shout out to them!!! Definitely recommend them

In the summer 2018, I wanted to add more... the addiction is starting to grow lol. So I got an awesome custom CnC'd steel Shift Knob. Not only that. I was tired of the mustache. FRS front bumper just looked SO MEAN. Bought an unpainted one on ebay. Got it paintmatched at a local shop with fender blending and glued on an ABS plastic grille from Ebay. However... that didnt work out to plan. The glue didnt hold still... so I left it off. Maybe one day I'll put one back on. It looks MEAN AF without it. I also bought Brake Ducts from Innovated Dynamics (CALL ME A RICER lol) because I didnt want to deal with the wiring of the FRS lights, plus I already have turn signals in my BRZ lights.

Finally... just this month (October of 2018) I've spent more money. Used Toms Tail Lights and a Used TRD exhaust. I havent put on the exhaust yet as I'm trying to shine it up just a tad more.

More to come!! Will try to keep this log as updated as I can.

Looks awesome, I love the FR-S front bumper. I would check the rotation on your driver's side front tire, it almost looks as though it's backwards ( I may just be crazy)

I love the look of the ducts, I may be going this route on mine to simplify wiring and get something I can excuse as functional. It looks awesome without the grill, too. Hmm.. I may have to start swerving at raccoons.

Thank you!

Oh really? Has always driven fine to me! lol.

But yes do it. Its so worth it and it gives the car a different look for sure.

Good start, Yes the builds never end.
