Did you get your TRD Steering Wheel in yet? I've had my eye on that for awhile and would love to see more pictures and a review of course :)

Thanks,
Rick

Hi Rick, yes, it has arrived recently. Unfortunately, I don't have the proper tools nor the time to change the wheel just yet.

Did a bit of pedal to the metal yesterday:

Very cool, would love to see some pictures when you get it installed! :)

I also took my 1111 shot on my personal BRZ a few days ago, and celebrated with a redline pull. Also I just converted to KPH to MPH and you were really moving when you snapped those pics haha :)

Thanks,
Rick

Contemplative Wash'n'Waxing session led to this:

First "real" performance upgrade: I installed the TRD JDM Sports Air Filter this morning. while I was at it, I removed the foam plug from the default Sound changer as well.

The motor feels a bit free breathing, a teensy bit more elastic and a bit more bassy. Very subtle changes though, no game changer.

DId you notice any real difference in air filters except for the color?

The engine bay is now completely TRDfied (drop in air filter, oil filter, radiator cap, oil filler cap and front strut tower bar) :
