Thanks @Sekal for helping me install

** June 23rd
Installed the Beatrush Rear Differential Support. I was expecting an increase of NHV, but to my surprise this actually reduced that.

Shifts and acceleration are so smooth now, this is one of the best upgrades you can put on this car.

Anyone thinking about upgrading mounts/bushings, you should upgrade all three places.

To recap what I have installed:
* Perrin Subaru BRZ / Scion FR-S Engine Mount Kit
* Perrin Transmission Support Bushing (you could skip this to make things more quiet)
* Whiteline Rear Positive Shift Bushing
* Beatrush Rear Differential Support

** June 26th
Had red out taillights installed at @Pure Automotive

My Vortech is on a truck somewhere.. Hope it shows up today! My p3 gauges are supposed to show up tomorrow... Looks like this weekend will be install day!

** June 27th

Received Vortech, started the install, was up until 2am working on the car.

** June 28th

Continued the install at 5pm, called it quits at 4am when the Tune failed to flash onto the car

** June 29th

Got a new Tune file from @Visconti , managed to lose the air bleeder screw for the radiator system while burping it

, ordered a new one from subaru

** July 4th

Received the air bleeder screw, finished burping the radiator, drove the car around a lot

pictures and more info coming soon
Thanks go out to @No Brakes , @nataku , @Sargy , @Sekal for helping install stuff

** More to come!
