My trip to FBM - FBM Premium Turbo Kit build
 

First off, I will apologize if I don't layout a decent thread. This will be my first thread ever. That being said, I would like to thank LJ and Bill for letting me talk their ears off while i was up there last Saturday dropping my WRB BRZ off. Bill thanks again for the ride to the airport thru the wonderful traffic we had to deal with.

As of right now my car sits in FBM's new facility. The plan is to go back up this Friday to pick up a completed car, if everything goes as planned. Since i am not staying in town while they complete the build I will not able to show progress. LJ, please feel free to post anything you want on this thread.

Here is a list of everything i am having installed and completed:
Full Blown Premium Kit GTX2867
FBM custom 3" Exhaust
Heat wrap and turbo blanket
Bosch 1000cc injectors
Dumptube Recirculation
FBM Radiator
Dual tune for 91 and E85 (which i brought with me)
FX400 clutch kit

No problem bud, I will update as we go :)

So jealy. Going with a similar setup but with a gtx30!

May or may not have creeped your car while it was on the lift. Clean car dude can't wait to hear some numbers.

Taking a peek when she has her clothes off huh, glad i kept her clean. :)

How do you like your Kartboy? Is it much better than stock for DD?

Honestly I'm thinking of switching back to stock. It's really notchy and doesn't feel nice. I'll trade u for your stocker lol

Bummer. I am guessing you dont still have your factory parts. What if you replaced either the front or rear bushing back to stock. That made a huge difference in my WRX. I know running both a new front and rear bushing together can actually make the shifting worse.

That being said i have no idea how the kartboy is setup on the BRZ.

Do you recommend any of your suspension upgrades? Most cars i go hog wild on, but the BRZ already feels so balanced i am taking my time with throwing mods at her. Exception - more power.

All the other suspension pieces I would recommend. Word of warning though the diff bushings kinda do the becauseracecar in that they transfer quite a bit of diff noise into the car.

Nice to see another FBM kit with a recirced dump. Most of the guys that have heard or ridden in my car have prefered the recirced dump.
