Greetings from Switzerland

Hi everyone, I bought a BRZ four months ago after I sold my Evo VIII.
No regrets at all !
I already did some mods

I ended up just adding everything to a Red model with the standard red/black interior everyone has and couldn't be happier with my self invented "Series Red" (I'm sure someone has done this before, I've never seen it though). Glad the forums are here and cant wait to learn lots regarding mods, etc.


very nice! i like the "series red" it looks clean.


welcome all and enjoy your stay!~

Hello from Bellingham WA (and Edmonton AB)

Picked up my new 2015 Metallic Grey Limited BRZ on 11/11/14


Drove it around the Seattle area for 900 miles of easy break-in (close enough) then headed off on my 750 mile roadtrip to its temporary home in Edmonton Alberta (working here for a couple of years but "Home" is Washington)


Put Blizzak WS80's on three days after purchase, and couldn't be happier with them on the roadtrip. Much of the drive looked like this:


But enough looked like this that it was a good decision to ditch the summer tires (I plan to get a new set of wheels and Pilot Super Sports eventually anyway):


Got a little dirty on the way:





First mod was the GT86 armrest. Unquestionably the way this car should come from the factory:

Just finished putting in the Tapturn module too. I highly recommend it as a neat little gadget to have, and the vendor is as good as they come.

Now it's cleaned up and sitting in the garage waiting for Spring to arrive...


Looking forward to roadtrips through the mountains (in the summer this time) to enjoy the heck out of this car, catching up with the BRZ/FRS community in Edmonton/Calgary and Seattle, and the occasional track day whenever I can!

omg must get this! thats absolutely how the cars should come. i think the center console design is rather dumb and basically useless. drinks can go in there but i always hit them with my elbow (even in the back drink position) not to mention the drink holder isnt stable when its "locked in" to the little notches that are supposed to keep it from moving..

gt86 armrest for the WIN.

Sup guys,

New BRZ Series Blue owner from South Florida. The car is stock except for the tint (*20% all around and 60% on the windshield). Got my first tint ticket not even 24 hrs after getting it done :-P. The night i bought the car i realized the front lip was missing however the dealer is working on getting me a replacement.

As of now i'm doing my research on light weight pulleys and replacing the air filter or getting a CAI. I will be replacing the interior lights with LED's. If you guys could give suggestions to performance upgrades i can get without voiding the warranty that would be great.

Personally, the small gain you'll get from going CAI over a drop in filter isn't justifiable in terms of price for me.
I'd just look up dyno charts and see what fits best as far as HP/$, not to mention a quality cold air or even short ram looks good under the hood.

Hey guys,


2015 Aozora here, creeping the forum awhile now, but never posted
Picked it up in August


Pretty well stock, upgraded to the OEM audio reference sub and speakers
and LEDs all around, weathertechs, little things like that.
Plan for full exhaust this summer, and FI when out of warranty



Happiest day of my life












Sleeping for winter
