New to the family

Hey all,

I just picked up my 14' SWP BRZ limited two days ago and so far I love the car. I come from STi and 370z so there is a big difference in acceleration and power. However, I don't think this car is THAT slow, it's not bad at all. I love its lightweightness and I hope to learn more about the car!

Hello everyone,

Picked up a DGM BRZ Limited a couple weeks ago. I am coming from a 2006 Lexus IS350 because I wanted a fun daily driver. Before that car I had a 2002 Lexus IS300 5 speed manual w/ Torsen LSD. The BRZ reminds me so much of that car in a two door package that is 500lbs less.

I've already done some cosmetic upgrades like getting a shark fin antenna and getting a flossy shift knob. Already looking into suspension upgrades for this thing to have some extra fun.

Picked up my 2014 DGM Limited BRZ 6MT February 9th.

Test drove it an FRS on a whim back in July of 2013 I was out to drive Mustang and Camaro & just for fun took a detour over to the Scion dealer. Was my last drive of the day. The minute I took my first corner I knew. This was my next car.

Went Subaru for the trim & features. Plus dealer was willing to negotiate unlike Scion.
Car is still stock. Mods starting next month.

Not so new member, new owner, haven't been on here in a while. Just picked up my new baby on Mon 03/24/14. I apparently haven't stopped smiling since, so I'm told. 2014 Suby BRZ 6MT in WR Blue Met.

Trying to research/find the right exhaust systems, a lip kit, and lip spoiler, might get my oem rims powder coated STI/BBS gold.
Pics, and hopefully mods coming soon, kinda dark to do pics now lol.

Hey guys. Name is Jermaine, but you can call me JD for short.

Just recently picked up my 2014 DGM BRZ Limited 6MT this past Thursday. Been satisfied to the fullest with it since. Took me all day yesterday just to clean it. But most of that time cleaning I caught myself just sitting, staring, and admiring it lol.

Anyways. Have plenty of plans to do with this car. Slowly, but surely.

Hey everybody, I just picked up a 2013 silver Subaru BRZ a couple of weeks ago and have not looked back sense, I will admit I had my doubts at first about getting the car but after sitting in it and a test drive later I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. I have a growing mod list for the future but I plan on keeping it mostly stock for now as I am trying to get into autocross and it would be my first experience, so I just plan on getting a feel for it at first and then just mod later as needed. I live around the College Station/Bryan Texas area if anybody wants to meet up and talk car or something. I look forward to being apart of the forum and hopefully be a positive contribution as it as helped me tremendously already.

Welcome to the ownership and forum ranks! The cars are a great fun, can lighten your wallet if you yield to "mod-diction", and the forum can be your guide for whatever direction you decide to head.

Enjoy

Thanks! This car has been a blast to drive. I've been taking the long way home from work. And I thought I had fun in my '95 Civic Coupe the last 10 years with suspension mods done to it. Never have I ever felt so damn good about stepping out of a Honda haha. Excited to see where this car will take me.

I'm Bailey. I'm live on Long Island!

Coming from a civic EX.. lol.. waiting for subaru to give me a delivery date which I should find out in the next hour.

I always always always wanted an S2K, and I thought I finally found one in good condition (hard to come by in NY) but it ended up falling through. BRZ was my next choice! So here we are... hopefully doesn't take too long to get the brz because my civic is being given to a new owner friday!
