Well, have a few more updates.
I ordered some tires & wheels from Wheeldude.

Rota Titans 17x9 +42 with Ventus V12 245/40-17. The combo weighed in at 42 lbs. The package also included the new flush centercaps, Blox lugs and the hubrings. All mounted and balanced and ready to bolt up. The were packaged nicely and arrived right on schedule.

I also ordered the cat back exhaust as mentioned here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53599
The vendor was TopSpeed Auto through ebay Price was good. Install as expected working in the driveway. Took about an hour. Sound is subtle but lower in tone. Maybe a little louder then stock. I need some more time in the car to review better.

Quick Update: 3/30/2014

My wife took the BRZ out for her first track day at Willow Springs. This was on the big track running with Extreme Speed Track Events.

She had a good time and improved her lap times approx 20 sec over the course of the day. She says mostly thanks to some instruction from Doug, one of the Extreme Speed instructors.

She put about 100 track miles on the car during the day.

I'll try to get one done next time I'm there. I'm currently traveling for work.
It's pretty quiet. Don't notice it at all under normal driving conditions.

I saw this one but he doesnt rev it up and this is boosted so itll have some effect on the exhaust note. if you can make a video thatll be really helpful

Picked up and installed a Vortech S/C this weekend. Install went fairly well. It works great. The increase in power is very smooth and linear. Since I'm in Cali, I'm running the Vortech CARB legal map.

kasikuusi · 05-05-2014, 01:46 AM

Nice!!! I went with JR and carb tune. I may try delicious e85 tune on it later.

diirk · 05-07-2014, 12:46 PM

Helpful for the install was the Vortech manual that came with the system also located here: http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/images/97.pdf
I also referenced the RallySport Direct install here: http://theattack.rallysportdirect.co...frssubaru-brz/

And the FSM available here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35279

I was looking at the JR. But I got too good of a deal on the Vortech to pass up.
