The wing is now gone dude, it got a lot of crack due to the high speed driving for the past 7 months. I didn't get any CEL when I had my HKS, my advice would be don't buy this intake it really fucked up everything you got. When testing on the dyno, only the 1st run got the highest whp but after than that all other runs whp decreased dramatically. (After one run it just got hot, Gotta think of the environment of your country, if you are living in a very cold country it might be a good intake for you. But not here in Thailand for sure).
Driving on normal roads, I would say that this intake only has the sound, acceleration is slower than the stock. |

It has been a while since the last time I updated this forum.
After a long time of about 7-8 months. I've done so many things (I really meant it) to the car. I had come across a lot of problems with the car. I would say it here now that I'm so appreciated by those who post all the issues forum especially the transmission problems and all the other reviews of all those exhaust and intake. My car would not be here without the help of my friends and A Motorsport , a specialist in modifying 86/BRZ in Thailand who give me a lot of advices about mods since this is my first car that I really modified it in every aspect. First of all, one of the mistakes that I made is to drive this car madly as a daily driven car. I used to heel and toe all the time for the whole month even though I already got the big brake kits. After a month or two of such a spirited drive the problem occurred, I started to feel that there is some grinding when I downshift from 6th to 5th gear at the speed of 80km/h onwards. Later on, I found out that the cause of the problem was the worn-out synchromesh. Then I ordered the whole set of synchromesh to replace the worn out ones. However, that did not stop me from a spirited drive so the next thing that got damaged was the gear driveshaft. I gotta leave my car at the Subaru Motor Image(authorized dealer in Thailand) for another 2 months for all the parts from Japan to arrive and install them to fix the problem. Right after installing the new replacements for all the worn-out. All the problem is solved so for those who has problrm with grinding I would recommend you guys to replace the synchromesh that would really solve the problem. I will continue telling you guys about my other mistakes next time ^^ stay tuned. Here is the list of the mods that I've put into the car after about 7 months without the update. Engine: Original runduce Pully kits HKS oil cooler ECUTEK E85 tuned Exhaust/intake Borla UEL header Custom 2.5 overpipe Invidia catless front pipe Perrin 2.5 w/o resonators Injen intake Suspension/Anti-rollbody/brake/wheels/tyres KW V3 Ultra Racing front strut bar, power arms bar, rear sway bar, rear lower bar, rear member brace, rear torsion bar ATS 6 pot 355 and ATS 4 pot 332 RS05RR 8.5 with 225/40/18 AD08R RS05RR 9.5 with 235/40/18 AD08R Interior Blitz front panel gauges Blitz gauges(Water temp, Oil temp, Oil press) Custom gearknob by flossy Exterior Custom front bumper with double canards and front lip Bottom-Line CF side skirts STI rear spats Chargespeed CF diffuser Zele CF Wing CF side garnish CF mirror covers Perrin shorty antenna. Incoming mods 1. Tomei EL header 2. Crawford intake manifold spacer 3. CF door handles I will keep updating this forum ^^ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by Paewrblue; 01-18-2015 at 06:09 AM. Reason: indentation |

Update again !
A week ago, I just removed Borla UEL header and replaced it with Tomei EL header instead. What's more ? I also install the Crawford Intake Manifold Spacer which many people said that it will improve the car performance especially the response. Right after finished installing I went for a dyno and this is the result As the result, the response and the housepower really improve across the range. I gotta retune my BRZ to get the most out of the new toys since I have changed so many things. 1. Switching from Injen cold air intake to Skunk2. 2. Installing Original Runduce Pulley kits. 3. Changing from Borla UEL to Tomei EL. 4. Crawford Intake manifold spacer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
