Motiv Concepts Project Subaru BRZ
 

Hey all!

We have decided to post up some photos of our project BRZ. It'll be a continuous work in progress like everyone else's projects around here, but so far we're super happy with the modifications that we've done and look forward to the finished project.

That last line has my attention, you know i'm gonna need all that stuff might as well get mine done too! Car looks great i like the wrap on the vents, never seen it like that.

Hope you are feeling better ;)

like what ya did with the vent!

Yeah I wanted to do something different on the vents so I contrasted it instead of doing it white on the outside. It looks pretty different and it's been growing on me.

Trying to get better! Lots of work to do!

I'm still down to move whenever you guys need some help, not even joking either.

Can't wait to see it with the Work wheels! Looks great guys!

Thanks,
Rick

Excuse me, you were saying?

Good god....I'm lovin it!

It's something we're tinkering around with to see what power gains we can make. We'll have some more info on it in the coming months once we get to the dyno and test it out.

Looks great with the drop and stock wheels.

Cant wait for the intake manifold

Nice shift knob. ;]

Looks great!
Can't wait to see your guys header!
I'll definitely be swooping some parts from you guys once I stack some paper up!

Got our wheels on!

Great looking wheels. Good to see it in bronze instead of the gold.

More info on your exhaust?

You can find more info on the exhaust here:

You should buy it when it comes out, thats all the info you really need ;)

Still have plans to make headers? I've been waiting to pick some to see what you guys are going to do. I'm still looking to replace the stock resonator pipe with a 2.5" version made by you guys.

We are, but we're not sure which route we want to go. The problem with the header is that it's very labor intensive, and since we do everything in house, it just comes down to man hours for each product. We're seeing that it may be a more difficult part to compete on the market with in terms of price, and we're not entirely sure if people are wiling to shell out the money for a nicely fabricated header at the price point we'd be looking at to sell it for. We'll have more updates in the future, right now we're more than busy trying to crank out HFCs, test pipes and overpipes for our customers! We're getting production going on our cat-back exhaust in a couple of weeks... once we get a few of those in stock on our shelf ready to go, we're going to revisit the header.

Awesome guys......I too like the sound of an intake manifold :)

The bottlom line kit looks great!

How much did it cost? Is it worth it considering it's the most likely to get scratched up? How long did the install take? Were there any other alternatives that you were considering?

You can find the Chargespeed kit for around $2,000 online. It does get scratched up on the bottom, but you can't see it ever. I did the install differently - we drilled holes at the bottom of the bumper/lip and fastened it tightly with nuts and bolts front and rear. For the side skirts, we riveted it on.

I have ran Chargespeed in the past on some of my other project cars, so I love their stuff. Great quality and fitment is great.

HI,

Did you use two kinds of carbon fiber overlay on your side vents?

It looks like have two kinds of color.

Thanks.

Yes I did. Wanted it to contrast a little bit instead of blending in.

It looks great.
Did you just 3M wrap or wrap with the real carbon?
Did you wrap on the OEM one or totally replaced by other piece?
Sorry for too many questions.
Thanks a lot.

No problem on the questions, don't mind at all!

It's just 3M wrap and I wrapped over the OEM pieces. I had the chrome fender trim option, so it was easier to wrap the blade - I just took it off first.

Here's some new photos!

Questions:
1) how much ride height dropped?
2) what's alignment spec?

I spotted this car in my work parking lot last Wednesday. I dunno if the driver saw my whiteout FR-S
