GaDgeTs BRZ - Melbourne AUS
 

Whats happening fellow BRZ / 86 / FRS crew. Had my BRZ for a bit over a month now, thought id kick off a worklog for the progress so far with the build.

Waited over 7mths for delivery, arrived the day before my bday, scubie were nice enough to make the appropriate decorations ;p

Straight off the bat, I had a perrin catback exhaust, and Injen intake ready to bolt on

Regretting not getting the resonated version, as she can be a bit noisy on cold startup, but overall really impressed with the note, and the bum dyno feels a bit better pull through the mid range. Injen intake seems to be a bit of a fail, the gaps in the airbox suck in hot air off the headers when stationary, and the first gulp of air when launching seems to bog down the car while the ECU adjusts. Have seen other members re-piping the pod into the front bar, think that will be on the to-do pile in the near future.

Cant believe how well this car eats up corners, and just comes alive through the twisties..

Had my first motorkhana event a few weeks back, and finally got a chance to get the BRZ all kinds of sideways. In hindsight, I forgot to completely turn off the TCS and kept losing revs out of the corners as I was trying to throttle out .. fun limiter must be completely turned off next time around.

Bit sad to say goodbye to the old daily, which served me for the last 12 years.. now being converted into a track toy, with cage, tyres and brakes going on over the next few weeks.

Nice car Inspector Gadget! :w00t:

Hey guys, quick update.. Just got back from 1st audio sound quality comp in with the new gear installed. Placed 3rd in my class! :) really happy with the result and pre and post tuning now getting the go loud bits and audio DSP voodoo to sound pretty awesome.

BRZ certainly draws a crowd, lots of people wanting to check out the car and take some happy snaps ;p

Quick update, just got back from 1st dyno run on the BRZ after installing exhaust and intake. Managed 113kw @ ATW, compared to the stock 86/BRZ on the dyno that managed 107kw. So it looks like ive gained 6kw, next step is to get the unichip installed and to get rid of torque dip and tweak the timing
