Tut, just curious what made you get rid of the Cayman R. I used to have a 06 CS with the TPC turbo. She was a blast, but in the end I decided not keep her.

I love my BRZ so far and I feel much more at home driving her than my Cayman S.
The BRZ just needs a little kick in the but sometimes, and all that will be fixed by the end of next week. I cant wait.

Very very wise advice is, come in knowing that this is the internet, there are lots of "e-thugs" around and everyone has an opinion. Also never take stuff personal. Resist the urge to feed trolls when they come by trying to get you angry.

Welcome!

Don't get mad. Check
Beware E-thugs. Check
Don't feed trolls. Check
Opinions are like assholes. Check

I believe I am ready. I will start a thread about my build once I get back from Minnesota and FBM.

Thanks, we've moved twice now and this is the last time, so we made sure we had enough room

I am curious of the cost of the built engine as well.

Also a big thank you to everyone who has boosted their BRZ/FRS. Your experiences have been a huge help to everyone following you, to include myself.

Hey Mike! Welcome to the site. We will see you very soon

Thanks, we are super anal about being clean. Shop is still a mess, we still have some unpacking and cleaning to do.

I got rid of the Cayman R to put the money I had tied up in that car into racing my SpecE30. I put a new motor in it and intended to use the rest of the money for track weekends, but instead I dropped over $18k in parts into my BRZ no thanks to LJ.

brzaapi · 10-11-2013, 02:18 PM

Haha. I kind of know that story myself. There is always a new project that I cant wait to start on. Going from WRX to EVO to 135i(N54) to Cayman S to having a DD truck. So a BRZ becomes my weekend toy more or less. Is it smart what I have done? No. but I wouldn't trade the experiences I have had. I am looking forward to meeting LJ and everyone at FBM, and to see the new and clean facility.

Hello my name is Mike, and I am a CARaholic.

Place looks legit, I like it.

Built engines on PUMP!... ...F yeah!!!

JerryMichaels7 · 10-11-2013, 09:24 PM

Any Trans upgrades to go along with that rear end you guys have?? Also did you guys have problems with the stock diff? I know the s2k blew faster than a virgin with power, but I have not heard of any issues so far, just trans problems.
