Just in case you thought you could GT300 your BRZ...



Reminds me a lot of the old BTCC days when they were inversely mounting H22s in the Euro Accords (which is how Honda got its K series design). Nearly unregulated, spend as much money as possible as long as it's around 300hp.

Found some other cool shots I haven't seen before here:

Nice man. I really want the look of the headlights. I am tinting mine today in yellow and I hope it looks like this but I have my doubts:

I read that's illegal in 50 states. Hope your tint is removable film! I plan to put yellow film over my fog lights. Supposedly legal and functional as the yellow helps disperse light better through fog and/or improve your night vision.

Bilstein MDS shocks. I was talking to someone about maybe developing a set of struts or coil overs based on those, they really aren't all that expensive but the custom work to make them go on our cars is. They are easily rebuildable and revalvable by the end user.

But yeah great engineering in that car.
