It has been a while since the last time I updated this forum.
After a long time of about 7-8 months. I've done so many things (I really meant it) to the car. I had come across a lot of problems with the car. I would say it here now that I'm so appreciated by those who post all the issues forum especially the transmission problems and all the other reviews of all those exhaust and intake. My car would not be here without the help of my friends and A Motorsport , a specialist in modifying 86/BRZ in Thailand who give me a lot of advices about mods since this is my first car that I really modified it in every aspect.

First of all, one of the mistakes that I made is to drive this car madly as a daily driven car. I used to heel and toe all the time for the whole month even though I already got the big brake kits. After a month or two of such a spirited drive the problem occurred, I started to feel that there is some grinding when I downshift from 6th to 5th gear at the speed of 80km/h onwards. Later on, I found out that the cause of the problem was the worn-out synchromesh. Then I ordered the whole set of synchromesh to replace the worn out ones. However, that did not stop me from a spirited drive so the next thing that got damaged was the gear driveshaft. I gotta leave my car at the Subaru Motor Image(authorized dealer in Thailand) for another 2 months for all the parts from Japan to arrive and install them to fix the problem. Right after installing the new replacements for all the worn-out. All the problem is solved so for those who has problrm with grinding I would recommend you guys to replace the synchromesh that would really solve the problem.
I will continue telling you guys about my other mistakes next time ^^ stay tuned.
