i had a great 2 and a half year run with my '15 brz. sadly had to sell it to make numbers work for a new house. we have a good community here (with a few overzealous folks, but hey, thats life) and has been a great resource on how to do things. i will probably check up every so often especially if subaru ever sees fit to release a brz with a touch more power stock!

some post-mortem thoughts:

- i brought it back to stock before i sold it and boy, its eye opening how much a header+oft made a difference. the dyno's dont really show much in peak power gain, but man doesn't the area under the curve get bigger. i'm not even sure that i could have driven it happily stock anymore if i had to have.
- ive never ever driven a car that felt as connected into the road as this one. ever. you really can get in the 'driving zone' with it and damn isn't it fun on a backroad or a track.
- even with the header+oft (which by the way i have put up for sale in that forum), the engine really just does feel kinda hoarse - its not silky like a bmw or hell, even a mustang.
- the steering always felt a tiny bit flighty to me, good weight but never got comfortable 100% with that.
- the traction control at least on these years sucks. even sport kicks in way too early which makes you turn off tc so that you can chirp a gear without bogging the traction control.
- depreciation is a bitch.
- i'll miss her a lot tho.
