New here? Come say hi =) - Page 95 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Agent 86 · 12-15-2014, 07:19 PM

Congratulations and welcome to all the new arrivals.

I find it funny when I read other forums (Autoblog, etc.) and the members always berate the BRZ/FR-S because it "doesn't have enough HP", yet they have never driven one.

Then I read about owners that traded their EVO, WRX or other high HP cars for the twins.

As for me, I traded my 2013 VW Golf R to get my BRZ. I loved the Golf R. Loved the fit, finish, luxury like interior, power, AWD, utility but… I love my BRZ even more! BOOM!

Hello, everyone.

Just purchased my 2015 BRZ yesterday

Previously, I've had--
2014 Veloster Turbo
2012 Veloster NA
2004 GTO
2005 RSX Type-S
2003 WRX

After test driving the new WRX and BRZ, I just had to have the BRZ.

Hope to learn a lot from this forum!

You chose the right car sir. I can't stop driving my LR 2015 BRZ. Welcome to the group!

Hello everyone! Name is Dom, been lurking here for some time but finally picked up a 2013 in the color I wanted. Hope to see someone of you out in the Bay Area soon. Can't wait to add some mods and go from there.

Hey everyone, joined a few months ago while I was shopping for a new car! I actually ended up with a WRX, but I would love to pick up a BRZ as a weekend/track/autocross car, so hopefully I can be a part of the community soon. In the meantime, here's my WRX.

Hia community!

Another new owner of a BRZ MT from Austria (noooo kangaroos

)
And as the 200 hp isn´t the appropriate power for such a great car, I am currently finishing off a FA20DIT Subaru OEM 2.0 DI Turbo (as in WRX) egine conversion.

Hope to find some nice infos here, and also to give some to the community

I've been monitoring this forum for a few weeks now and have found a lot of useful information. I recently bought the 13 BRZ Limited great deal with less then 3,000 miles. Too bad its winter now in Ohio but starting this spring I will be making mods to my car. For the meantime it'll be placed in storage. Look forward to share my car and see what else comes from this forum.

Hey, everyone. I just picked up a 2014 Subaru BRZ Limited. I got her used with only 4k miles on it. The previous owner tinted the windows, changed out the exhaust tips, and put on clear side-markers, so he did a lot of the work for me!

I've already ordered the OEM armrest, chrome fender trim, chrome gas cover, and the OEM subwoofer. The only other thing I'd like to change out is the factory antenna.

This car is replacing a 2003 Outback. It's my first sports coup as well as my first manual (I already knew how to drive stick, just not very wel). I have a lot to learn, but I've never enjoyed driving so much in my life!

02.ACCORD.DUDE · 01-02-2015, 07:43 PM

Does anyone have a list of differences between the 2014 and 2015 BRZ Limited?

Was going to go 2015 new, but might have found a 2014 model - still waiting on price quote but if it's significantly lower I'd roll with it.

Hachi-Roku BRZ · 01-02-2015, 10:16 PM

Hey everyone! Got my new 2015 BRZ a couple weeks ago and have been reading around on this forum alot so i thought id join.

Gonna be saying goodbye (not for good) to my 2003 Subaru Baja but an very excited be have a BRZ as i fell in love with the GT86 when i first saw it in japan and have been a long fan of the hachiroku.

Car is the limited but ive decided to add on the nearly all the accessories (aside from the sub-woofer and STI rims) and have done a full interior/exterior LED lighting, drop in filter, and some rokblokz mud flaps.

Trev_brz · 01-02-2015, 11:02 PM

Does anyone know if there's a way to turn the triptroinic off? Like when I use the paddles shifters, I only want to see the numbers, don't wanna see the M1 ? Hope someone can help
