Thanks man!

Our cars are super fun to drive at the track man both stock and modded since it is very balanced.

My mods are these:

17x9 +35 RPF1 with 245/40/17 Hankook RS3
Tein Street Flex Coilovers
Project Mu Club Racer brake pads with Motul brake fluid

It's a pretty standard entry level set up for a lot of FRS/BRZ guys who track.

My best time at this track with my set up is about 2:10. A good driver can get it down to 2:02-03, which is very fast without any engine mod. I happen to bring my wife to the track, so I wasn't even trying to go all out. haha In the video, you can clearly see that I wasn't oversteering in 95% of the map. That means I wasn't pushing it too much.

People who cry about our cars lacking power needs to learn to drive.

Which one is this? I really like the JDM STi wing, or the TRD griffon one. The STi wing is still over $2000 on japan parts though, and I just can't swing that for looks alone.

This actually happened about a month ago but I garage bomber my shifter.

I originally had the Kartboy short shifter and I couldn't live with the play and nasty NVH so I had to figure out another solution. So... I sold it.

Went out and got another OEM shifter, garage bomber the hell out of it, and now it's short like a chode.

The setup includes a Perrin Shifter Bushing, MTEC Shift springs and goes great with the OEM arm rest. It's the perfect height with the arm rest and it feels super ergonomic.

Due to the reduce height, you lose leverage so it feels better when putting it into gear. It's a more direct and engaging feeling and of course, the throw is a lot shorter.

Its actually pretty decent quality. My wife and I are sharing the car as a toy and she is totally ok with the amount of Rice lol.

She has a Forester to DD and I have a STI, but honestly, this is the car we fight over

Forester/STi/BRZ between you and your wife.

Wish my wife let me make that line up.

My hubby and I have similar setup, but I have an 2013 FRS as my DD and he has a 2014 Forester XT as his DD. BRZ's were too marked up and really hard to come by in June 2012, so I ended up buying an FRS.

I enjoy the turbo and comfort of the FXT and he enjoys the handling and fun of my FRS--and, we both have coilovers, front lips, aftermarket wheels and tires, underbracing, intakes, exhaust, and mud flaps, hehe.

We're hoping to eventually have a WRX as my next DD and then keep the FRS as our play car. Couples that mod together, stay together, I guess, lol.

Unfortunately no instructions, but I still managed to get them installed . I pulled the wheels off and went through the plastic wheel well. Zip tied the ballast for the halo on the back of the crashbar. There are a lot of wires for just fog lights, but if you lay it all out on a table it starts to make sense. Let me know if you have any troubles if you decide to get them. If you want I will take some more pics for you.

That's awesome. My wife is pretty late to the car scene. But she loves the BRZ and I couldn't be happier


You guys have great taste!

K&N air filter went in and iJDMTOY side markers, parking lot lights wired but going to need to pick up some different wire taps to get the blinkers wired. They look great but what a pain in the ass to wire on the BRZ, looks like I'll have to tap the blinker in the headlight
