Fellow BRZ owners, I need your help!

Hey guys,

I posted this on the FRS/GT86 Side, simply because it gets so much traffic, but I figured I would post it here to for some help form the Subarus. I hope the admins/mods don't see this as spam or being overly repetitive but i'ts important!

PASMAG (performance auto and sound magazine) puts on a contest called Tuner Battlegrounds. Over the course of a bunch of weeks, cars are posted online and the owners gather votes. Every week, the leading car progresses in a bracket style elimination process. The final 2 have their cars shipped to SEMA to be put on display.

Why I'm posting this? As of this morning, I'm now in the FINAL 8. That means 2 more elimination weeks and my car goes to SEMA. This is a huge deal and I'm hoping the BRZ/FRS community can help a guy out in getting his twin to SEMA. As it sits, there is only 1 other twin in the contest, but he will more than likely be eliminated by a 350Z that is getting triple the votes as anyone else.

My current competitor has an Audi TT, and it's a nice car but I want to win so who cares lol

Anyways, why I think I should go to SEMA: http://toptierimports.com/index.php?topic=6476.0
It's one of the most comprehensively modified twins out there (with an FA20). It has been owned since new by me, and every bolt has been turned by myself. It has a laundry list of rare and hard to get parts, and (I think anyways) it's been tastefully modified. I've also been an active member on this site for over 2 years, so it's not like I'm some chutch rolling in and blindly spamming. That I'm doing on facebook, not here lol

Here's a couple of quick shots:


[img]
It's 305whp @ 13psi (now runs more boost and has meth injection)
It's won Best in Show Subaru at every show I've put it in
I've tracked it here locally in Winnipeg as well as at Brainered International Raceway
I've drag raced it
I've drifted it at an open drift event
I've Auto-x'd it

Although it's showy now, I still do have fun with it and drive it every day The decal/sponsor stack on the doors was done strictly for this competition. You need a "show" looking car to progress.

Anyways, that's my case to get you to vote once per day! I don't believe in getting something for nothing, so I'll post new pictures every day as a reminder if you guys don't mind. Myself and my buddy that owns Top Tier imports also shot a bunch of footage for a video that we're going to put out if I hit Week 5 (final week)

Here's the link:

http://bit.ly/alexdbrz


How to vote: Click the FACEBOOK icon at the top (yes I know it's shitty you need to use facebook credentials), then click the star at the top to cast your vote. Voting can be done once every 24 hours. DAILY recurring votes is what wins this contest.

Thanks very much for any support you can offer, I appreciate it!

I usually hate this type of posts so was going to troll, but then I scrolled down and saw your car.

Voted. Good luck, man.

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

Truth be told, I hate doing this kind of stuff but I'm at the point where I have to if I want to proceed. If someone doesn't want to vote, I wouldn't hold it against them at all and totally understand. To the ones that do vote though, I appreciate it!

Absolutely. It's by Aerojacket in CA. I think it's just one or two dudes making parts out of a small shop so they don't market very well lol. Their website is gone, but they're still on Facebook . It comes in carbon and frp

Hey guys, thanks for the votes yesterday! I got a bunch from this site. The ability to vote resets every 24 hours and adds up over the course of a week. That means this contest is won with DAILY votes! Please take a second to click http://bit.ly/alexdbrz and vote today if you are willing. If not, I apologize for the spam.

If you're just here looking for something interesting, here's a teaser trailer that a buddy of mine released yesterday for the latest feature vid he did of my car:

https://www.facebook.com/alexdixonwp...6708350253437/

Full length version will be much longer (obviously)

After day 1, I'm in the lead in the second last round!

I gathered up some sponsors and put together a bit of a contest and mailing list to try and give something back to the people supporting this initiative. Essentially, you join my mailing list (1-2 emails per day for the next 2 weeks) and I enter you into a draw for a bunch of different stuff.

I was just checking the data from my short link, and FT86 club is bringing some heat! Out of all the campaigning (spamming lol) I'm doing, this site is the second highest contributor with over 250 clicks over the past couple of weeks. Every one of those votes counts, so thanks so much guys.

http://bit.ly/alexdbrz to vote today if you haven't

Also, here's a teaser/trailer for a video that was shot using my car for a buddys website. We're trying to shoot and distribute new content every week so we're at least giving something back in exchange for all the votes we're asking for. A lot of guys are just reposting the same stuff. We were literally up til 4am last tuesday in the ghetto (not kidding) getting some of this footage lol. The full video will be sick. Another 15 second teaser trailer will come out tomorrow as well

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mX_Q7udY0Jc[/ame]

Also, a guy with a SICK 2j BRZ (lux motion wide) is also in the top 8

http://tunerbattlegrounds.com/compet...5-jimmy-backus

He's up against a guy that's local to me so I have a tough time campaigning for both, but this is a sick build and at the very least, you guys should take a look and vote if you like it.

Thanks again for the support, I really appreciate it

Shit got real! I'm in the final round. One more week of this and my car will be displayed @ SEMA! This will be a tough one to get by.. it's a local guy with a fully built TSX that has the entire Honda community behind him. Every vote you guys wanna toss my way daily helps.

Unfortunately, I'm the last Twin standing in this competition. it's the Final 4.

VOTE: http://bit.ly/alexdbrz
