WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY? - Page 491 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Drove some twisties and even went sideways through some gravel at fun rates of speed. Wore through a significant portion of MPHP tread in the rear too!

Will take some good pics when I wash my car tomorrow.

But here it is

The rotors were all resurfaced. The calipers were lubed. Motul600/PMU Club Racer front pads are in.

Installed Motive Autowerks master cylinder brace. Was not as easy as the Grimm Speed one probably is due to an extra brace welded to the top side of the brace itself. Was also missing a hole for the tab on the bracket that holds the hoses to the strut tower to fit into and had to drill one. Mounting holes for the 2 bolts that hold the bracket to the tower are round and not slotted to allow a little adjustment fore & aft.

GS bracket has slotted mounting holes and hole for bracket tab:

Check out 'Da Big Kahuna' on the beach for drinks/food, Arubas also oceanfront. Wings Plus for wings (Coral Springs). 15th Street Fisheries on the Inter-Coastal waterway just to name a few good ones.

Enjoyed the 75 degree weather in Alabama and watched the cars. The corvette is my dad's but I clean it and such for him

Just installed my Rydeen Duo as well, more of a PITA than I thought is was going to be. Not too bad though. Dremel tool and silicone oil were my friends!

Installed rear Sti Brembo in my garage.
The front was installed two weeks ago.

It's raining in NJ, so I do not have any chance to bed in the rear rotor these days. Hope it wont be a problem to bed in a few days later.

CIAGDDS · 03-30-2014, 07:52 PM

@Figo - Brakes look good on there. Wish I had the cash.
