"DownShift" - The Story & Sti/tS Build
Greetings everyone, so here's a little back story on things.
I had been driving a 2003 Honda Civic that my family bought in 2003 since I moved back to West Texas from Los Angeles in 2014. This year, the problems that I was having with the civic continued to grow more and more. I decided to attempt to acquire a "new" vehicle if I could. Having bad credit in my past, getting a loan from a dealership was tasking. One day, I found a '14 BRZ for sale at a local dealership and by the grace of something, their financing company approved my application and in Sept '17, I became an owner of a BRZ. Now, when I was younger, I was a drift/togue/street racing enthusiast (thanks to the Initial D anime and arcade game), and ran around with local car clubs. I had a Mazda protege that I had added a few visual changes, but was not actually mod'd except for a CAI and headers. It was also an AT. The BRZ is actually the first car ever that I purchased from a dealership and I want to keep is simple as it is my daily driver, but I also want to dress it up when I can. I was looking around the forums and youtube to see what other owners had done with their FRS/BRZ/GT86's so I could get an idea of what I might want to do with my BRZ. Thanks to a few others on here, I came across the JDM STi/sT BRZ builds and fell in love with the look. So, in the end of this recap, this thread will be dedicated to my conversion and modding to making my BRZ as close to the JDM tS and other mods as I can get. I have a few links to what I want to do and a few pics of what I want add. |

Now, because my car is the asphalt color, I plan to do gold and grey.
Here is the STi badge I would like to get. I would like to get the STi gold BBS 18" wheels Going with the STi look and feel, I would like to get this hood. Here are more pics of the visual items I would like to get too. (Black) I will be posting more "what I want to do" pics. Gotta go to bed for work.
