mokinbird87`s BRZ
I traded in my old bugeye (close to 200k miles original engine, tranny, etc) as I found myself driving my brother`s miata more often :) As I come from the old school subaru world, I plan on bringing out more of the old school subaru out of this car. I`m also fabricating a few things on my own. stay tuned!
custom side vents http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59345 custom rear diffuser http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59202 performance figures: weight: stock power: stock bought the BRZ limited in that famous world rally blue :) I told myself I wouldnt modify this one... I already debadged the car in about a week (march, 2013) https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...61325969_n.jpg waited till the 1000 mark... https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...52774494_n.jpg JDM goodies https://sphotos-b-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/h...16805091_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n...89825221_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.n...11005316_n.jpg and the part I enjoy the most! https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...40368779_n.jpg https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...57049289_n.jpg going for that old school subaru look :) (9/20/13) https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...04396572_n.jpg https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...78526308_n.jpg sti titanium shift knob. love the way it looks, didnt care for way it feels... even the stock one is heavier, and it is too small for my hand. (2/20/14) https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...21659068_n.jpg https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...83786331_n.jpg and then finally my wheels came in! that was about 6 months of waiting... these wheels pay an homage to the tarmac rally days that subaru is known for (2/28/14) https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n...70399439_n.jpg https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...02870477_n.jpg https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...65390318_n.jpg https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...58476846_n.jpg new shift knob to replace the sti one. (3/24/14) I like this one because it`s heavier, it sits lower and it`s a good diameter. I also like how it matches my interior trim. https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...34614755_n.jpg https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...38694549_n.jpg ordered the replica front lip. these are gonna need a little wet sanding and some TLC... guess you get what you pay for, but I didnt wanna pay a lot for something I am going to destroy. (3/24/14) https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...90326970_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n...34472525_n.jpg JDM gurney flap also came in today :) this is the single most expensive piece of rubber I have ever paid for lol (3/24/14) https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...14926279_n.jpg (3/25/14) installed the replica lip and the jdm gurney flap. I needed to wet-sand and buff the hell out of the front lip as its surface quality was... well, what I paid for really. before: https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...77183615_n.jpg after: https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...15793880_n.jpg https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...38959998_n.jpg https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...83519850_n.jpg https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...56181462_n.jpg https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...51122916_n.jpg https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...13771637_n.jpg gurney flap. took me a few tries to get it aligned right. the sti decal.. well i only had one go at it :) https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...70307565_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.n...77173244_n.jpg https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...21331253_n.jpg |

and this thing has been progressing nicely... not a paint gun/booth quality, but not too shabby for a spray can. it`s like a 90% match. https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...8d&oe=54736C29 https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.n...49806066_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...1ba7c7a3d8bcf3 https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...18774821_n.jpg |
