I've been lurking since I bought my 2015 CWP BRZ Limited (6MT) last June and have found every answer I have needed along the way within this community.
I daily drive it, but I hope that will not be the case forever. I'd like to find a daily in the long run.

I've since installed a UEL header, OFT, brake pads/lines/fluid, and 17x8 wheels with sticky tires. I'm looking into some suspension mods now. I hope to go the FI route later (MUCH more research to do).

I hope I can continue to learn here and give back along the way!

Hello everyone,

New owner of a 2014 BRZ Limited. I've only owned in for a few days, but I love it!

I've seen on different sites, people complaining about the car, but I can't see what they're talking about, haha.

I'm still getting used to the 6 speed, since it's been about 15 years since I've had a manual. The last one I owned was a 1986 Honda CRX Si.

I'll definitely be around, reading and asking questions. I'm already looking at suspension, wheels/tires, full exhaust, and Jackson supercharger. It'll take time, but I'm excited.

I'll add some pics soon.

Thanks! I was torn at first between the DGM, CWP, CBS, and WRB since they all look really nice, but I'm glad I went with WRB!

It's still weird getting into the car every day and going.. Yep this is my car.

I will keep it stock for a while to learn and appreciate, but glad this forum is here when I will eventually start to modify.

Hope you enjoy your cars!

Hi everyone I joined this forum after I heard about the facelift and placed my order. After almost 6 months of waiting, I finally got my 2017 BRZ!
It's currently the only one in country and I absolutely love it I took this photo when it arrived at the dealer. Have a nice day!

BRZ 2.0

Hey guys, I've been lurking around this forum for some time now, getting info and looking at everyone's amazing pics of their 86s, FRSs, and BRZs

Finally decided to join, so I made an account a couple of weeks ago. The very next day I came in contact with a pregnant doe who totaled my 2013 Subaru BRZ limited...

....so I bought another one.

Found another 2013 Subaru BRZ limited with less than 13k miles on it. Couldn't drive anything else.

Anyway, looking forward to the forum!





And...my new one....

That poor BRZ... . Glad you decided to buy another one and officially join the forum. The amount of knowledge you can find here is amazing and will keep you reading for hours leaving no time for sleep and work but who needs that when you can go for a drive! . I am moving on to my second 86 as well, atleast I will once it shows up.


Welcome !!

Hi peoples!

Hello! Purchased a hardly used 2015 BRZ limited a few months ago. First saw one parked outside an asian restaurant back sometime in 2013 and wanted one ever since.

Imports are new to me. I've only ever researched, worked on, and owned a G-Body Chevy. It's also my first manual vehicle. Fun story, couldn't even drive it home after buying it. Had my father drive it home for me. Slowly learned how to drive it the next couple weeks. Now I have plans to customize it and make it mine.

I've been directed to this forum a couple times, but finally decided to register and join everyone else!

Hey! My name is Jeremy, and I'm a SoCal resident. Just picked up a 2014 brz limited a few months ago when my old 2005 Xb was sadly totaled. Couldn't be happier with the upgrade though. So far my mods are:

Window tint 15% all around
Injen cold air intake
Perrin license plate relocation kit
Perrin gurney flap

Looking at getting my hands on a set of coilovers, wheels/tires, exhaust, a uel header and an oft tablet in the very near future!

Hi all! I think I might be the ultimate lurker... I followed this forum since before the car launched, and read it enthusiastically after it released. I bought a used 2013 BRZ in Feb 2015 and referred to this amazing community as I went about fixing it up from what seemed like a somewhat neglected life in the New England. Here's an abbreviated mod list:

Pioneer AppRadio2 (to mirror phone), front 6 3/4" & 1 1/8" components and rear 6x9" w/ JL 10"sub

JDM kneepads, speaker panels, & black TCS buttons, w/ JPM Coachworks alcantara dash & cluster hood

Graphite DINOC wrapped accents

DiodeDynamics LED replacements for all lighting, & AlwaysOn Module

Clear sidemarkers

6000k HID & fog bulbs

Valenti Red/White tails & reverse

2015 OEM sharkfin

Staggered EnkeiRS05RRs wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza S-04

STI Brembo conversion w/ DBA rotors, ProjectMu pads, & SS brake lines

JDL UEL catted header & over-frontpipe, with Corsa catback & Vibrant resonator

Supertek intake pipe (sound tube delete) & high-flow filter, with Crawford BPBs

Mishimoto Catch Can

Fluidampr crank pulley & Aluminum driveshaft

Braille GreenLite mini-battery w PTuning tray

TRD Quickshifter, MTEC shift springs, & OEM Forrester clutch cylinder

Openflash Tablet


So much done, and so much to do! And I did it all myself thanks to the great wealth of knowledge found here. I'm just a hobbyist, but I gained a lot of great skills and confidence in working on my own car for the first time. Big thanks to everyone here old and new. Keep making this the best enthusiast community on the internet!
