My journey to brz
 
Hi everyone, I figured it's about time to start the journey for my brz but before we get to the brz here's a quick recap of my prior cars. I'm mostly into performance mods, I needed her to perform on track during summer months with local HPDE events.

initially started out with a bmw e36

Got hooked on track and light weight rwd fun and caved on a miata.

Landed a deal on a 05 sti that i could not pass up. Eventually upgrades clutch, flywheel, fuel system-went to e85. eventually it become too much to enjoy on the street. I couldn't risk getting on it for "fun factor" and soon missed my lightweight rwd car.

Somewhere down the road while i owned the STI i came across a 2000 rs2.5 and i had a 04wrx engine laying around, one thing lead to another and boredom got the better of me....
