Scarlett, my Lightning Red BRZ limited
My name is Mark. I’ve been into cars since I was a little kid and started modifying cars when I got my first car at 17. My car history is:
2002 Nissan Maxima SE 6 speed (owned for 4-5 years) 2005 Honda S2000 (owned for 2.5 years) 2012 Subaru WRX hatch (owned for 1.5 years) 2013 Subaru BRZ Limited (current) I daily the car here in central NJ, take it to autocross (and will get a lot more serious with it), and plan to track it as well. I also like to fold down my rear seats, throw my bike in the back, and go somewhere with a nice trail. My plans for the car include essentially every suspension part I can get my hands on (gradually, so that I can mod as I see fit and figure out what I would like to improve on the car once I autox/track it more). I’m not going to change a part just to change a part…these cars are pretty damn good and I do not want to ruin it. Spec Sheet Exterior: -Factory Limited Spoiler deleted -OEM Headlight housings painted gloss black -JDM rear fog -OEM fog lights deleted -OEM taillights painted red Interior: -JDM Subaru Leather Armrest -Dynamat in doors Wheels & Tires: -OEM Wheels with General Arctic tires -BBS RK 17x7 +48 with 20mm F and 25mm R spacers + OEM Michelins (new tires soon) Performance: -Tomei Expreme Ti Titanium Catback Exhaust -RCE Yellow Springs Plans (soon): -New tires (buying 225/45-17 Dunlop Z1 SS from a buddy of mine) -Rear duckbill spoiler (5AD or something of that style) -HPT front lip and side skirts -Sharkfin antenna -A bunch of interior stuff -Possibly tint the windows 35% or so -TIC solid steering rack bushings -Switch trans and diff fluid to Motul Find me on Instagram @GRundmanator ! When I first got the car (after I swapped trunks with another member on here) As she currently sits (pardon the iPhone photography...I'll take some pictures with my SLR in the next couple days): More to come.

Yeah I think these wheels look a lot better than stock in almost any solid color; especially as a winter set, in my case. The type 80 sounds good too man, I just love the sound of titanium exhausts. Once you get the Tomei you'll see what I mean about how amazing the craftsmanship is...it's pretty incredible.

This thing is pretty damn good in the snow! It definitely needs some weight over the rear tires. I got so used to having my 05 S2000 with no traction control or stability control, so I turn off all the aids when driving in snow. I feel that the systems interfere too much when they sense slip and throw the balance of the car off big time. Anyways, here's one crappy pic of the car with my General Arctic/OEM winter setup in snow outside my office:
