Yes I understand that the Drift Bar replaces the stock bumper. The stock bumper is designed to "crumple" which would direct damage into the engine bay. The Drift Bar is designed for "protection". Just like a roll cage is designed to protect the driver. This is designed to protect the front of your car / engine.

Thanks all. The BRZ is not a DD, and will be used on the track and AutoX. It's not 100% "race" but my luck if / when something were to happen it would be off the track. I will hold off on the drift bars for now

I had another question. I was looking at getting the Track Engine Oil Cooler Kit. Now I am debating on the Dual Radiator/Oil Cooler. I plan on attending some track days and AutoX sessions, but nothing hard core extreme (dedicated). I will also get the car out on the weekends when weather permits.

From talking to different people who track/autocross and reading some articles, it appears that the engine oil cooler would be highly recommended. The cars have not be designed from the cooling side to handle the stresses from running them in the above environments.
I have one on my car and there is a slight difference in temperature between highway cruising and a session on the track. On the gauge, the equivalent of a thicknesses of a normal piece of spaghetti |

Since you'll be running FI (more hp = more heat) I'd go for the traditional cooler over the dual unit.

That is what I was thinking, going with the Track Engine Oil Cooler Kit and upgrading the radiator and fans in the future.

So where is the "upgrade point" when someone would need the Track Engine Oil Cooler Kit over the Dual Radiator/Oil Cooler ?

Wondering if anyone here can help be out. I had my JRSC C38 kit installed at a local shop in march. When idling it makes a mild squeaking noise that to me sounds like a belt issue. It becomes more noticeable after the engine has warmed up while stoped at traffic lights. Talked to the people at the shop and they insist it is the "supercharger whine" but to me it sounds separate. The belt shifts slightly back and forth on the idler pulley that directly follows the tensioner pulley and now the pully itself has started to wobble. When the engine is in idling the tensioner moves quite a bit and slightly erratically but calms down with increased rpm. Any suggestions that could help a new guy out?

It is on tight enough that I cannot tighten it anymore with out a longer wrench. Could it be the pully bearing or alignment? I have a video close up of both of the pulleys with the sounds. But it is too big to attach to a post. I can post it elsewhere and link it if you think it will help.
