Jovi's Turbo Build
 
After 4 years of wanting to own this car, finally had the opportunity to pick up a 2016 Black BRZ with 19k miles on it. I've owned 2009 Jetta and a 2011 GTi over there years. Being a college student this thread will be slow but to build a car right it takes time. I will try my best to use only quality parts when modding and just enjoy the car. I can honestly say after 3 days of ownership it only needs an exhaust. The car feels so good in many ways that can express.

Let's see where this build thread goes. I will post pictures later.

Engine:
Oft stage 2 via taxtrix
Cosworth Dropin Filter

Nice day out. New mod from Password:Jdm. Sad that these guys are going away for awhile. Quality of the product is amazing. Car feels more planted and more rigid. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...69dbb3c0b1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d37097eb53.jpg

Decided put in the Perrin Shifter Bushing and also an Ebay brand front lower control arm brace. All together $45 spent. Shifting is butter when the bushing is pair with the Perrin transmission support bushingabdn whiteline transmission bushing. NVH has increased but with my stock frontpipe back on things have quieted down a bit.

I also noticed that with control arm brace cornering feels better. I'm more confident in my turns, front end feels more solid. Attachment 189384

Took a few pics yesterday. Just need to get that alignment done and I should be good for now. Hopefully I get a turbo before the year ends. If not then next year is the plan. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5c2a28edfd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ac8c174857.jpg
