My BRZ ST* Autocross build - Page 16 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Scooby South · 06-09-2012, 05:39 AM

No classing yet...just anticipating.... Running STX Pro at my local event Sunday...All my Intel is saying STX... not official... STR...STX...I am all good til its official..

..I did contact my local Registrar and let him know my intentions...Purely Shakedown and seat time... if anybody has an issue..I will gladly be classed else where for the event...Doesn't matter to me...not looking for a trophy...*Would be nice if I did qualify for one... but not the main focus... matter of fact...I would probably forfeit anything I did win.. again not the main goal ...

At any rate, love reading about this build, as I plan to be in the same class here, although not modded nearly as much. I would rather run stock class, but I don't want to run R-comps.

Me Neither...R-Comps are expensive.. and since I want suspension mods..I Want to be able to Build this thing into a competitive monster..

I hear ya...not in my nature..I like to tinker to much..

Tell Joey, Francis, Vern, Big Dave, Russell and the others to get off their hands...and be innovative..

... *ran with Hawaii SCCA from 99-01...DA KINE BRAH..

Scooby South · 06-09-2012, 05:35 PM

Ok...they are coming...

here is the wheels all mounted..NO ISSUES what so ever...lock to lock...Spirited drive...ALL GOOD..

Scooby South · 06-09-2012, 05:46 PM

ROTORS/BRAKES are the same as a 02-07 WRX...the Calipers are the same as a 04 plus WRX...

VANE pattern...

Lock to lock test on the rack...NO ISSUE...Did the same thing on the ground... again..NO ISSUES..

Factory BBS option Wheel...17x7 53...with a 235/40/17 RE01r......Stickier rubber...and lighter wheels... YES PLEASE..

Exhaust Turndown....Hanger is way off... needs to be fixed..:/ but it sounds AMAZING..

like a Porsche CUP car coming on the pipe..

Exhaust turndown.... Pointed toward the middle of the car...nice and stealthy..

Small 14mm, Medium 16mm, Large 19mm.. put the 16mm on..WOW..with The RS3's...Amazing...

the BRZ with the BBS option Wheel on...Looks GREAT..and lighter weight too..

So is that 16mm bar the stock WRX rear bar? Can you reuse the stock BRZ links?

feldy · 06-09-2012, 07:20 PM

Ran today 12 runs 6 me and 6 for the co driver. We went with 35 psi all around for the rs3s. Used the proyometer and it was pretty even accoss the tires. Did have to spray them tho. I did spin in the finish. And was over steering a ton. My codriver has a rx8 stx car he normally ran so he held it a lot better then I did. I'll upload the go pro footage tonight with the results.

Staggered is the devil, for reasons Scooby already covered. Also, it sucks because you can't do a proper tire rotation to extend the life of your tires.
