Chicago Area GBS BRZ
 
What's up FT86 club?

I picked up my GBS BRZ Limited MTX about a month ago. It is way too much fun to drive. I'm going to burn off that stock rubber in no time.

I was not anticipating how much attention this thing gets! The car I traded in for the BRZ was a silver Mazdaspeed6. It was visibly modified but no one really looked/cared.

The exhaust turned heads but only for a second.

This BRZ however....

People STARE. I'm too shy for this shit!

Anyway, the car is awesome. I'm dealing with the torque/traction downgrade just fine. The BRZ puts a smile on my face in an entirely different way.

But oh yes, there will be mods. The more time I spend on here will likely correlate to how much money I spend. So I'll post that good stuff in here.

First up will likely be some springs and a set of wheels/tires.

Cheers!:happy0180:

Haha I feel ya on the Shyness. I am not used to people staring me down as I drive past them or when I am parked and people walk by. It is something that is going to take awhile to get used to. Congrats on the purchase!

Welcome!

Awesome Speed 6 and great color choice on the BRZ. Looking forward to seeing what wheels you decide on.

Yeah, I'll get used to it. It's actually pretty flattering. Thanks!

No clue as to what wheels I'll go with. I just know they won't be black since I already did the black theme on the MS6.

Speed6 was a monster car! I loved that and wish I could have found one not abused. You do not see many here in Nebraska.

Yeah, as they get cheaper more kids get their hands on them and beat on them.
They're not the most reliable car as it is...

Speed 6's are sick; those were awesome pics! BRZ's are sicker, especially in Galaxy Blue :)
