- Valley Style - dobbrz BRZ - Keep It Clean
 
Okay, So I figured it was time to start a build thread on this forum because I have a couple on other smaller forums. As for my car history, I am a huge S-chassis nut. I have owned 3 in 3 years. two s13s and one s14. I also owned a stanced mk4 jetta GLI for a bit which made me vow never to go fwd again. Anyways...

This is my daily, some people like it, some people dislike it. I love it. The following posts may not make much sense, because it is not in perfect chronological order, but I will try and update this first post when I update my car. If not, go to most recent posts for most recent pictures of the car.

Just to clarify. The pics above are not EXACTLY in chronological order.
Currently it sits with shaved rear emblems, no oem gas cap sticker (rocking the circuit soul sticker) and also have the JDM clear turn signals, exhaust, etc. But I am sure that you guys can figure that out haha

HERE are a couple recent ones :

If you are wondering...Yes I have rolled the fenders. Rears aren't done very much, but I also ground down the little bumper tab in the rears a little bit as well. Once again, thanks for reading! I know I didn't give you guys much of a build progress. Maybe I will update the process If you guys are at all interested.

I can take a picture for you if you want when I get home. But I only scraped it when I was at my lowest point. Haven't really had much trouble with it hanging too low. I would only hear it on speed bumps when my car was absolutely dumped. It has since been raised a bit and no longer hear any scraping at all

haha I can snap some next time I do a photoshoot. It is one of my dads. Anyways I am literally 10 minutes away from picking up my spoiler!
Bye Bye stock spoiler hello duckbill! Been waiting for this thing from japland for what seems like forever.

dobbrz 02-07-2014 02:56 AM

Forgot to take more pics of the Aston. but I put the lip spoiler on. Paint match is perfect and had no fitment issues whatsoever. Pics aren't great but I was in a hurry. Super stoked on how it looks though. Was getting sick of my rear looking the same as every other BRZ in town.

I got an awesome deal on some spyder tail lights so here they are! Had a lot of shadows and stuff to deal with when taking pictures but I did my best. Didn't think to get any pictures with the lights actually on but I will if anybody wants me to.

How do you like the spyder tail lights? What made you pick spyder over say valenti or toms? Just curious. Our cars practically twins :)

If I am honest, somebody was selling them below half price locally and they were still brand new in boxes. Also, another guy around my area has the red Valentis so if I were to get them I would want to get the smoke ones because I don't want to look the same as him, and the smoked ones are a little too dark for my tastes. I do really like Toms though.
I really like the sypder tails so far, especially at night time. They are very different and some could argue a bit ricey but I like them. And the brake lights are awesome.

So, I got the opportunity to swap tail lights with the famous circuit soul rocket bunny frs. That is the guy I was talking about before that has the Valentis. So we are testing it out to see if we want to swap. Here is a pic I took during the day. I can take more when it gets darker. The curvy beam on the Valentis is way brighter than the one I had before. Also one more pic just for fun. Opinions about tail light choices? Soon when I have my new wheel setup I hope to do a photoshoot with the Circuit Soul Bunny. It is crazy nice in person. Pictures do not do it justice.

Btw I have many more pics of my cars and others on instagram: dobbrz

Probably because they are both front engine rear wheel drive sports car haha. and yeah I have owned 3 S-chassis already and I am only 20. Great/cheap easy to do stuff to.

Hmongfrs 03-26-2014 12:16 PM

ahhaha same like me i own 3 too but sold them all...what you done to the 240 so far?

MTCRX 03-26-2014 12:27 PM

It was looking good until I saw the Miley sticker, that must go.

djdnz 03-26-2014 01:43 PM

The Valentis look WAY better, I cringed when you put the pics of the Spyder ones.

Really like the overall look of your car, but would definitely like it better without stickers - but to each his own.

It has been gone for a couple days now haha.

illest86 03-26-2014 05:58 PM

Looks unique and the wing is bomb. Jealous of that low you got goin' on.

I think if you're down to one sticker, well done.

JS + BRZ 03-26-2014 06:49 PM

Lovely car man!

I love the clear/red Valenti. :love:

Mr.Jay 03-26-2014 06:51 PM

haha they are on Reggies car right now! I didn't sell them we are seeing if we want to trade. Also idk if there is a difference between the spyders and the vertex tail lights but the ones you sold me have a clear sidemarker instead of the redish one. Which is apparently not on all the spyder ones. and it looks sooo much better with the clear than it does with the red. and dang :/. well thanks again for the good deal!

Way too much to list..haha but I will give you a short list I guess...

blacktop sr20 at around 10psi
3inch turbo back with no cat
Act 6 puck race clutch
1 pc custom driveshaft
widebody, full kit
coilovers, bunch of wheels
tie rods, rucas, new bushings
pretty much stripped interior for weight savings haha
all I have in there is my fia approved bucket and new steering wheel/quick release and wideband, boost, water temp gauges.

Nothing special, just your basic s13 drift car. I have been building it to save the BRZ from inevitable damage of me sliding it. lol I do of course slide the BRZ every safe-ish chance I get though. who wouldn't!

Hmongfrs 03-26-2014 09:56 PM

nice...i did alot to mine too but i did the rb20 swap...

Scalzo 03-27-2014 12:58 PM

awesome!
Love it!

leicaboss 03-27-2014 01:05 PM

Good Lord, please do not put the Spyders back on, the Valenti's look great on your car!

AAAAAND with that that they are back on haha. Owner wanted his back to do a photoshoot that he was half done with the valentis on and wanted it to be consistent all the way through. Haven't decided what I am doing yet. I may keep the spyders, tint my stock ones red, or wait for some different ones to come out. ALSO. I ended up in a ditch the other day but thankfully not too much damage. Thank god for factory front bumper tow hook location

dobbrz 04-29-2014 01:31 AM

Okay, so not a huge update as I have been busy with school and working on other projects. This will be more of a photo dump really. I decided to sell the spyders and paint my stock ones red. I like them. The simplicity is growing on me. As much as I want to spend a ton of money on this thing and make it awesome, I have a drift car that all my extra money has been going into. I have been waiting for my wheels for months but after that, it is probably going into limbo for awhile!

Also, as mentioned in my previous post I ended up in a ditch. The passenger side rocker got dented and scratched but its now fixed.

STILL waiting on my wheels :(

Here are a couple more recent pics. Follow me on instagram @dobbrz for way more updates. In a couple of the pictures the tails look VERY red. Not sure if that is the sun or what but they aren't quite as bold in real life.
