WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY? - Page 791 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

ck-GT86 · 03-24-2015, 02:12 PM

Finally arrived from Japan! Got a chance to install them over the weekend with my suspension overhaul.

They're paired up with TIC aluminum steering rack bushings. No issues using these in conjunction just in case you were wondering. I'd image the effectiveness of the bolts would be comparative to a front lower member brace, though I've never been in a car with one. Only speculating.

There is some bolt length left if you did want to add a front lower member brace in addition to the tS rack bolts & bushings -- could be a little overkill at this point.

A bit tough to gauge how much handling has improved, if any. Either way, +++ HELLA Jay-Dee-EM OFFICIAL AuThEnTiC JAPAN POINTS.

In all seriousness, cool upgrade. Parts should be available in U.S. And you can probably find similar hardware online or in store, sans "STi ts" title.

True. Except that it's illegal to not have a third brake light. I mean, I'm all for BRAKING the law (teehee), but not having a third brake light would be seen as fairly blatant around these parts.

Has been the first thing anyone driving my car (who has driven a twin before) has noticed, or not noticed, immediately after sitting in the car.

Nice! I've been wanting the Password:JDM vII lower-profile one for a long while, but this raised one seems like a decent alternative as well. Thanks!

Swapped the winters for some Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3.

Stoptech slotted rotors, pads and SS brake lines front and rear! Also Muteki SR48 lugs

Feels good man

Still need to do fluid though, have some higher temp stuff just lazy about flushing the system :/

FIN-A-FUCKIN-LY figured out where a rattle was coming from based off a super old thread that I somehow missed. That shit was driving me crazy, and now I'm all smiles again.

The key fob receiver in the rear deck... It started out with just a slight buzz and had been getting progressively worse. I thought it was the spot welds so I opened up the deck, cracked the welds, lubed everything and put some packing in the holes... Didn't fix the problem, turns out all I had to do was bend a little metal tab that's exposed under the deck and VIOLA no sound!

Little teaser

This Saturday marks 1 year of ownership on the BRZ, so I decided to pick up a couple things for the car. Picked up some JDM Spec Buddy Club tail lights from fteightysix, and a Motiv Overpipe and Tomei 60S from FT86SpeedFactory. I'll post up some pics of the Tomei installed this weekend after the overpipe gets delivered on Friday. Can't wait

You can email them.

This is a future DIY question: does anyone know how to blackout the inside of the stock tail lights so that it'll have a blackout housing?

I think that would look pretty nice.
