The answer is no, but dollar for dollar I would definitely say it's the best sports car you can buy right now. Miata is a pretty close second, but anything beyond the absolute base model already...

I would say no, because the ride actually feels softer overall, except for when you hit bumps you feel the difference in how the chassis soaks them up. It's kind of hard to explain because it...

Do you have the base or upgraded stereo? Because the base model does not have the trunk amp and wiring like the first gen did. I went hunting for it the day after I got my car and there's nothing...

Yeah, it's def the seat belt. I can't get it to do it every time like you can, but that's where it's coming from. Thanks for the part number!

Is there a way to make the clutch lighter?

So, just to start off, I know that these cars do not have a heavy clutch in them compared to some other vehicles. My issue here is I've had two knee surgeries over the past year or so, so it can be...

Has anyone installed an amp in their base '22 yet?

I just got my car two days ago. It's a BRZ Premium with the 6 speaker stereo. I went to look in the trunk to find where the amp/wiring is, and there is none! Oh no! I have a wiring harness left over...

If so, where did you pass the power wire through the fire wall? Does the hole on the right side where sound tube used to be still exist? I would love to use that location for my future install. I...

This looks perfect! Thanks for posting. I plan to go with this exact setup, just with a 17" wheel. Seems like 8" wheel with +35 and maybe a 1" drop would be the perfect OEM+ set up.

Please do a Tomei UEL as well. I'd love to see what a better quality brand could do over the Borla you tried before.

The HU only controls the dash and rear speakers, so it *might* improve the sound of those, but you'll still have to deal with the flubby, distorted bass from the under powered door speakers. The door...

What setup are you running as far as your front stage goes? I'm realizing that a purely plug and play option may not work since the dash speakers are powered by the HU.

20% bigger engine with a better flowing stock header and I'm sure some other improvements. Makes sense to me.

People with Premium BRZs, can you show us the dash speaker layout and connections?

Just as the title says. I plan on replacing the audio system when I get mine, but I'm curious to see if the speakers and/or connections are the same as the old car. If someone doesn't mind, can you...

I have an amp and DSP to power them so that won't be an issue. I guess I'll just have to buy them and see if they're a direct fit. If not, I can always return them I suppose.
