My biggest issue with the BRZ platform is how weak the entire drivetrain seems to be. The alignment on my car never holds. After one track day, it's totally out of whack. I've broken 2 wheel bearings after the car's first three track days. My friend has a broken rear axle. The oil temps run really high. Then there's the whole direct injector seal failure issue. My BRZ now only sees the track on rain days. It's a nice DD, though...

Wow... You know we got guys on here that are pushing over 300whp on the factory drivetrain with decent amount of milage. But, of course, they probably don't quite beat on it as hard as you or your friend. Maybe you should have went with a John Deere...
what was the build date on you and or friend's BRZs?
