Sorry for being horrible at keeping up with this. I get so busy at work sometimes that I never have time to make a real post and/or see questions... Best way to ask about anything is to ask me on IG (@NEM_86) or find me on FB..
I think the last pictures of the car was when it freshly came out of the body shop.. I've had some time to get some good photos with some amazing photographers.
Below were taken by Danh Phan (@dtphan) from Houston. These actually ended up in the December 2016 issue of Super Street, which is available to those in the west coast. I don't think it'll be available to us in Texas until next month!
I am selling off most of the interior, if anyone is interested.. there's a sale thread in the classifieds section
I also had some time off from work and got to take the car to California over the summer. The drive was pretty interesting and definitely something off my bucket list. Along with driving to California, participating in a show was also scratched off my bucket list (went home empty lol).
While I was there I linked up with some really great people. I thought, while I was there I should get some photos and video of the car, since I don't know whens the next time I'll be out there with the car in this condition.
Below are photos taken by JJ Chen (@jjchen819). Really really talented individual!
Like I said above, I really wanted to get a video, especially with the famous California mountain passages.. David Osorio (@influenti4l) and JJ Chen made this video for me while I was there, mainly for memory sake..

As mentioned before, I'm parting out most of the interior and that's because I'm starting to track the car more rather than do shows. Below are just a few shots from a track day at MSR Houston. The rain kept coming and going, which made it a bit difficult for all of us.
I guess from a mechanical update... I've upgraded the entire drivetrain. I put in the PAR straight cut gearset in the transmission, DSS 1-piece aluminum driveshaft, DSS 600hp axles, and a IS300 LSD rear diff with 3.9 final drive gears. I'm also running dual oil coolers since the oil temps were getting pretty hot on the track. I've ran the track once with the dual cooler setup and everything has been perfect. I also replaced the radiator with a Koyorad Hyper V core. Coolant temp has also been awesome. Granted, it was a pretty cool day the last time I tracked (by Texas standards 85F).
I'm currently in the process of getting the 2017 BRZ bumper fitting on, so we're redoing the crashbar to setup the intercooler and dual oil coolers to fit correctly with this bumper and to allow the best airflow for everything.
The next event I have is a 1/2 mile runway "shootout" in mid November. The car isn't really setup for that, but I thought I would try it out anyways.. Right now we're pushing 486whp on our Mustang Dyno at 20psi. I'll see what our tuner feels comfortable with, but I'm thinking somewhere around 24-25psi, that should put me well over 600whp on a Dynojet. That's if my turbo can handle more..
I'll try to post videos and pictures from the 1/2 mile if I can... LOL
My next track event will be Dec 3-4 at MSR Cresson, so I'll be busy between all these events.
I hope this was a good enough update for anyone still following!!
