I have some of it ordered already, and my goal is to get this car finished by May of 2017. I will post pictures as I get equipment in and/or installed. Cheers!

I purchased a 2015 BRZ Limited in Crystal Black Silica. So far the car has been a lot of fun, and I have done a few mods to it since I picked it up. Nothing major, just headers, an overpipe, and a catback with the support of an OFT stage 2 UEL tune on 91 octane (boooo California). But even with all of this, the power to me is lacking. And man, do I miss having a turbo. So I have been really racking my brain for a while now on what I wanted to do, buy a different car? Or upgrade the hell our of the BRZ. I really like the BRZ, the platform is amazing and really reminds me of my '93 RX7 sometimes....minus the power. So I finally decided that I want to go into the turbo realm with the BRZ. I will post some picture of how the car sits now, and will try to post updates as much as possible in the coming months. I am currently in talks with FullBlown Motorsports, and am looking into a stage 2 motor, stage 2 heads, and their stage 2 turbo kit. My goal is around 600 WHP, and before you ask why or what I plan to do with that type of power.....well, because I can first and foremost. I have plans for after the car is done, but that will be released much later.

I do say, good sir, this exquisite car will be quite pricey. I bid you adieu.

Got my Intec hi mount brake light and Valenti taillights installed that I got for Christmas. I just recently got around to installing them.


http://www.ft86club.com/forums/pictu...pictureid=9995

I've been in the same exact boat as you lately.. Been considering selling the FRS for a new EVO but the more and more I think about it the more I love my FRS. So in the future I plan to go down the same route as you, turbo with built engine. I really miss having the power of my old 94 twin turbo Z. But this car definately has the better feel to it and might be as tail happy as my old Z. Nonetheless I hope you have fun building your BRZ!

Ordered up my Forgestar F14 rims, got my Velox LCA's. Looking to get a set of Feal coilovers, and am in talks with PAR to get a new straight cut gear set. Will post pictures as everything starts to come in, for now here are the LCA's.

Installed red RallyArmor mud flaps yesterday, they came out pretty good. I also got my Seibon Carbon Fiber TS hood the other day, I am just waiting on my Aerocatch hood pins to come in so I can install it.

I see you changed the title.

I did, what do you think?

Wouldn't black snow be disgusting :)

Honestly I dont get it?

How about?

gozen reiji 午前零時 - midnight

or

Mayonaka 　真夜中 - midnight,deep night

I'm partial to

川側の雪の中で黒鬼 - black demon in the snow by the river side

Doesn't work he is in CA no snow there, and the FRS isnt much of a demon if you ask me?

lololol says the person that's not even from California. We get snow. In the mountains.

??? I have snow in Big Bear right behind me, and it's a BRZ (I know same thing, but its the principle) And it will be when im finished, that's the point right?

http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/images/smilies/woot.gif looks like somebody took my suggestion.

And for those that don't know what Black Snow is or means, it is post Nuclear Fallout aka Nuclear winter.

I like your suggestion, thank you.

Okay, maybe haha! I see where your going. If you are going for the demon thing get demon eyes, they should look good with blacked out headlights haha.

Ooooooo one sec I got this pic lemme find it, it's on my phone.

is it hard to wire the 4th brake light??(triangle 1)

Oh god is that sexy and mean looking!

No it is fairly simple. You can find a write up in the DIY section.

If any of you are going to go the whole hog and start putting Japanese text on your car run it by me first if you're using Google to translate! Google translate it's really really good at making little to no sense with japanese

Should be fixed.

That's badass, the Itachi wrap is actually pretty cool too!

Installed my Seibon CF hood today, going to do the hood pins in a bit.

I installed my Aerocatch hood pins finally, they came out pretty good. I will take some more pictures once I wash the car and get it all cleaned up this weekend because it has been raining so I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Let me know what you guys think. I also used the JDM password sandwich plates for extra security since they are aluminum. It was much easier securing the Aeocatch itself since I didn't have use the nuts due to the plate having threaded holes for the screws.

Just got my rims in, going to try and install them on Saturday. Waiting on my lug nuts and center caps to arrive, until then here is a teaser shot.

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/pictu...ictureid=10183

Had to push the wheels back a few days, will have them on Thursday. Also got my name on the list at Jacks Transmissions for the gear set install in June. Car will start to come together after that. Full suspension will be around June/July including corner balancing. Stay tuned, should start ramping up in the next couple months then slow back down towards the end of the year until next year around April when I send the car over to FBM to have them do everything at once.

Just FYI. 真夜中 is read "Ma Yo Na Ka". It's not "Makoto Yonaka".

夜中(yonaka) itself is between 11:00 PM and 2:59 AM, according to an educational website.
真夜中 is the mid point of night. So, there is no set time for it. If the night starts at 8 PM and ends at 6 AM, then 真夜中 for that day at that location is 1 AM. If the night starts at 6 PM and ends at 7 AM, then 真夜中 for that day at that location is 12:30 AM. That's the actual meaning of 真夜中, but no one use it that way. People just use it to simply mean the middle of the night. It's definitely not 0 AM, like how American understand "midnight" as. To me, 真夜中 is more like 1:00 AM to 2:00 am. But 真夜中 could mean different from people to people. Like if I Google search "what time is 真夜中" in Japanese, then everyone answers differently.

I was just going by a translator (not google) and that's what it gave me. I was told the translation from Google was actually incorrect including the English spelling which is what you just gave me, the incorrect version.

Got the tires mounted, balanced, and finally on the car. Car is pretty dirty and I wasn't able to wash the car tonight, so I will tomorrow and take more pics. The rims look really good, gotta get new lug nuts though. Had Kic R40's and they do not fit, going to try to Volk's since I was told those ones fit and I can get a set in bronze color. Again, these are 18x8.5 +35 wrapped in 245/35/18 up front and 18x9.5 +40 wrapped in 265/35/18 in back on stock suspension with no rubbing even at full lock.

^^ This.

The kanji 真 could be individually read as "Makoto," but in 真夜中 it is read as "ma yo naka." More or less gets the point across as midnight, but your Makoto Yonaka reading of it is wrong. Individual kanji characters can have different sounds/readings in Japanese, especially when combined with other kanji (this isn't Chinese where one character = one reading).

For example, 夜中 you read as yonaka and not yoru-naka or yoru-chu. 夜 is yoru but in this usage it's just read as yo. And 中 is naka, but also 中 can be read as chu (but not in this usage). Like 中トロ chu-toro.

Go ask a Japanese teacher how to pronounce 真夜中 if you don't agree. Not bashing you or anything, just trying to help correct your Japanese reading. Cool I guess if you like reading it weird like that but the people who can read it will just think you're just another dude with a wrong reading done online. I assume the Makoto yonaka reading was online translated. If it was an actual Japanese person reading that, did you show them the whole 真夜中 or just the 真 character?

He said Google is incorrect.
He said I'm incorrect.
Now, he's going to say you're incorrect. :p

I fixed it because I'm tired of getting so many different answers for something I obviously do not have any knowledge in. I feel like my entire build thread was on this lol. I'm obviously wrong, so until I actually learn Japanese it's probably better not trying it lol. My bad everyone, my bad.

Had the car detailed finally as a Birthday present and it looks pretty good!
