have a link? never seen that one before and google isn't helping much.

sadly, it probably doesn't matter as it won't come with blue stitching

Get a Tactrix Openport or open flash tablet and start datalogging. Then this book: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Making-Sense-Squiggly-Lines-Christopher/dp/0983259313"]Making Sense of Squiggly Lines: Christopher Brown: 9780983259312: Amazon.com: Books[/ame]

What should I upgrade first on my BRZ

Go to scion.com and you will see it as an accessory.
http://m.scion.com/accessories?model=fr_s2015

I went to Toyota dealership and its Toyota Part Number: PT478-18130

Ugh. Skip all the cosmetics and get a tune. OpenFlashTablet, so you can pull logs, use the digital gauges, and switch to e85 if you want more power.

Get a #7 from Steak n' Shake. Make sure to get it with a vanilla milkshake.

armrest adds too much weight.

fill tires with helium to lighten car.

but OFT is a great start...although thats more "performance" oriented...an exhaust would be good, sound awesome and not really add power (checking box for parents)

An aftermarket seat does wonders for the ride.

If you're rebuilding it, why are you concerned with aftermarket stuff? Shouldn't you have more pressing matters with a rebuild? Also, if you're wrenching on it yourself, you should have a good idea of what kind of aftermarket parts you want

Ball out since your parents are rich. TURBO it and then super wide tires.
