Ordered a 4.5 final drive and diff bearing set to get installed along with 2 way TRD diff.

Came home early from work and cleaned the interior, washed exterior, clay barred some track day muck off and then gave it a quick wax.

We installed a set of the new 57Transcends on the new Forged Project BRZ! 18x9.5 +39 on 255/35/18 Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires. Freshly lowered on Ohlins Road and Track coilovers. Going to lower more once the fenders are rolled and we get a few more suspension components to dial in the camber and alignment nicely

New LEDs

Installed Diode Dynamics LEDs fog lights on my new '16 BRZ: Pure White 5000K, XLM2. Made a big difference since I have poor night vision.

Man these wheels were meant for the 86 platform. For a stock body 86 I can't think of a better looking set.

In the pictures the fog lights look like they match the factory lights, is this also true in person?

Thanks! They do look excellent on the car for sure! Already have an interested local buyer for these and another set of wheels on route to go with the theme of the car, I'll post more updates when they arrive!

Did a lot of work Saturday. First, I installed the Cosworth stage 1.0 system. Flashed the ECU with the Ecutek programmer. Installed the air filter. Changed out the thermostat (which was a bi*** laying on my back in the driveway).

Then I changed the dif fluid. Was suprised how dirty the differential was after only 2000 miles. The magnetic drain plug was caked in flake.

Also changed the transmission fluid. Went with Pennzoil Syncrhomesh. Only GL-3 fluid I could find. Seems to get good reviews. Started noticing a slight clunk going into second. Now it's as smooth as butter.

Did an oil change. OEM oil was black. Put in Mobil 0w-20.

Next when it stops raining, I'll give it a good wash and wax. Still loving this car.
