WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY? - Page 677 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Drifted my Dunlops to death:

Borrowed some 17" BBS on oversized Blizzaks until I can put on proper-fitting snow tires:

Basically the 18" 18x8.5 BBS wheels are gone, selling them to buy these (plus snow tires). It was fun, but it's time to move on to something more appropriate for my lifestyle and future goals. I will have the STI center caps swapped in, though, since the new owner of the 18" BBS wheels wants the BBS center caps. Kind of looking forward to 17x8 BBS again. I hated them on my 2005 STI, but they're cool now to me. So light! Much cheaper to buy tires too.

That is one good friend! (or he didn't get a good look at your Dunlops! Holy crap!)

haha Yeah, he's the one that helped me swap them out. He just told me to be nice to his Blizzaks, which is fine, because Summer is pretty much over in Alaska with leaves dying already. Saving my driving energy for next year when I drive the car to Jersey. These tires were raced on and sold to me for $50, so I can't complain!

Most of us are pretty trusting people up here. I'm gonna miss that about Alaska, but do my best to carry it over to the Lower 48. In the end it's all just stuff that you can't take with you when you die, so I'd rather just be trusting.

Might take heat shroud off factory header too very soon. Tryin to shed as much unnecessary weight as possible.

x1UP · 09-04-2014, 09:42 PM

Drove it to almost 700 miles in just under a month!

Is that picture how it stands now? If so then you can remove that piece that you have capped. Also, I don't think the weight savings is worth the extra heat from losing the shield.. and the factory header is ugly.

Yes
Thanks
Those are nice enkei wheels !
Are you going lower the suspension too? Or just stock for now?

Candlejack · 09-04-2014, 10:51 PM

RH Tail Light replacement via condensation recall.

Apparently it's just a gasket but I mentioned it to the dealership and they just straight up ordered a light.

No. I took that off today, cap was from when I put intake on w sound tube delete. Every ounce counts bro, a few ounces here n a few there starts equalling pounds real quick.

I'm lowered an inch on RCE yellows right now

Squeezed in 4 tires (225/45R17) and 4 rims (all unmounted and in their boxes - 17x8) into the trunk and passenger compartment.
One of the rims is riding shotgun with me.

Cargo capacity is not the BRZ's strong suit.
