That is BEAUTIFUL.

Nice photos too.

I'm been looking at that exhaust myself. Would you mind snapping some pics and giving us your opinion of it when it gets here? :-)

That car is gorgeous. How do you like your wheel and rim combination. Any rubbing issues? If no, do you think the tire/rim combinatin you got would work with a stock suspension?

I installed the exhaust yesterday! WOW!!!!! I will get some pics up today for you. Install was a breeze and I did it with no help, outside of the Dezod install video at FT86Speedfactory. It looks as mean as it sounds. :thumbup:

Yes, that staggered wheel & tire setup was fine with stock suspension. I had a great tech work with me at TireRack.com on fine tuning the tire specs for the wheels. He owned a BRZ and was extremely knowledgable and reeled me back in on a few assumptions I was making. This forum was and continues to be an outstanding wealth of information and ideas. My hat is off to the people who do the DIY's and also try stuff that has not been done before.:thumbsup: I have some pictures I will be posting here of the pre-coilover wheel and tires with the stock suspension and wheel gap soon.

Thanks! :thanks: After over 650 skydives and a lot of fun jumping all over the world, I migrated my passion to building this house and now the passion is moving to the BRZ. LOL.

Here are some pictures from the house build..https://www.flickr.com/photos/117197733@N02/

That's insanely beautiful. That kind of a house in my area would be >$5M. I often think about moving to TX or CA just for the home architectures. I really hate the East coast styles.

austinbrz 04-12-2015 12:48 PM

Added some skirts and a lip.

My son took the BRZ to his shop and installed the skirts and a lip.

The wife and I fell in love with the property and the view and just started getting the build underway. Took about 9 months to complete and I was there every day at least once. I took about 27 gigs of photos and they have come in handy with all the wiring and home automation. House was < $600k believe it or not! We did well on the cost and our three kids love that each room is a suite with individual bathrooms. Thanks for the good vibes!
