Yeah I think it was a lil cheaper but the window seals had to be replaced since the windows had to be removed.

He does top notch work though. I'm going to have him fabricate a wide body for me soon



I got this 3" titanium exhaust I'm going to have him custom fabricate to my car soon as well.

Can I ask what that came off of, or if it's meant for the 86?
I'm working with a fabricator here to pie cut a titanium header back for ours. Wondering if I can give them a head start by buying something that's 'close'.

I'm using one from an STI from Top Speed Auto. I have not put it under the car to see how it routes up. The axle back seems fairly close and I am going with quad tips. It may or may not work and I may go another route.

If they're fabricating from scratch then they should just go with that. Best wishes

It's actually really close. Hell, the stock axle back section almost lined up with the mid pipe. The flange needed to be turned a couple of degrees and would have bolted up. Hangers will need to be tweaked as well, but very little. Whether everything is routed similarly for the mid pipe and lines up with the front pipe, that remains to be seen. Let us know how it goes. Been throwing this idea around since I got my car.

Alright here's an update.



Top Speed Auto in Addison ordered a new hood from Seibon for me since the previous one purchased from another vendor didn't fit properly. This one turned out nice! I'll be painting the car a different color so it's just exposed carbon for now.





Just got these new Ohlins R&T suspension in today. My kw v3 & vorslag camber plates are for sale if anyone's interested.







Planning to get this STI titanium 3" exhaust from Top Speed fabricated to my brz. If all goes well I can have them mass produce a stainless version for the public if we have enough interest.





Installed Perrin 3" cold air intake last night.







Finally got to fit my Ings bumper that's been sitting for a while.


rear tires for new wheels that are coming. 305/30/19


Just placed my order for a set of MORR VS52 1 piece wheels. I'm getting these in 19x10 front & 19x12 rear


Thanks everyone for the kind words. I'll keep you posted!

What the f***..... Haha I'm looking forward to this.

And man you need to see my car. I think my electronic dynamic shocks from AST would blow those Ohlins out of the water. Just my opinion...

hmm I never looked into it. Can't go wrong with ohlins though. I've ran them on my track bikes in the past. I'm going to do a track day next month but I don't plan on extensively tracking it. I do occasionally make spirited weekend runs out in the country roads with friends.

I rushed to order my kw v3 when I got my car since Ive used them in the past, and didn't know ohlins was available. So now I got what I wanted.
