Nope. And probably won't.

Keep me updated with your progress!

I'm actually looking to go with STi/EVO (Brembos). Haven't decided yet because I want dual rear brake calipers. Seems like we have the same taste because I was leaning towards the Chargespeed front lip if I stayed with my BRZ front bumper but that sucker is $$$! lol

@Drift&Drag have u found a source for a rear dual caliper set-up?
Thanks for the updates on your build.

How much for the Ark grip exhaust?

Also, why are you selling your car?

On phone I am. Therefore, if mistakes I make, Frank Oz blame you should.

I'm contemplating a CTS-V Coupe. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet.

So, going to big, lumbering coupe from light, nimble coupe...

Different purposes. I love my BRZ, but I will admit that it has a snug fit and a very firm suspension. If I needed something I could take clients around in, my BRZ wouldn't be it.

True enough. I'm not bashing, just wondering. Usually folks who buy and like this car don't like heavy cars.

wakefreak33 05-14-2014 06:49 PM

Very sorry to hear you are selling the car. I saw your car at the EVODynamics crawfish boil and it is what finally convinced me I need to purchase a BRZ. The car is stunning in person.

Todd is a good friend of mine from undergrad, pony up.

Shoot me a PM if you are still interested in selling the car.

SirBrass 05-15-2014 04:49 AM

Why not build your next car?

On phone I am. Therefore, if mistakes I make, Frank Oz blame you should.

Acree 05-19-2014 03:49 PM

The TOM's will be sold as of tonight.

If anyone is interested in the RacerX LCAs, please let me know ASAP. They are off of the car and ready to go to the powdercoater. I will have them coated any color the buyer chooses.

nlamon33 05-20-2014 12:22 AM

Thanks for the lights Andrew and helping me install them.

For those considering buying something from Andrew go for it.

Very nice guy!

Goes without saying you are talented in lighting/electrical impressive.

What do you think of the actual manufacturing of the racerx lower control arms. They do not viusually look all that hard core.

I honestly think they are a very well fabricated and constructed set. I have zero complaints about them. I consider it pretty difficult to eff up something as simple as a LCA tho. I think for the price point, they are a very good choice. I just wish I could say the same about my powdercoater :mad0259:

po35042 05-28-2014 01:18 AM

What an incredible build. Much Respect. Do you still have the Color Matched Autodimming Homelink Mirror with Integrated Color Modded V1 Remote Display for sale? I was thinking of hiding a radar detector somewhere, I'm assuming yours is all built into the mirror?

Thanks and Best regards,
PO

$380 plus shipping. They need to be repowdercoated, and will be done to the buyer's color choice. This is included in the price.
