JonRZ's 17' BRZ JDM tS Build
Welcome to JonRZ's 17' BRZ JDM tS Build Instagram: @TheJonRZ The Current Build: Exterior: STI Front Spoiler STI Side Spoiler STI Rear Spoiler STI Front/Rear Badges STI Valve Stems STI Front Cherry Blossom Red Grill Lip STI Rear Cherry Blossom Red Pinstripe Helix Clear Side Markers OLM Carbon Fiber Rear Mirror Covers Drambeenie 17' Spoiler Riser Interior: STI Push Button Start STI 6MT Shift Knob 'STI' Door Sill Covers 'STI' Center Seat Warm Coverplate Suspension: STI Front Flexible Strut Tower Brace STI Coil Springs (paired with Performance Package Sachs Dampers) STI Transmission Mount STI Rear Trailing Arms Engine/Performance: STI Sport Performance Muffler/Exhaust WORKS Drop-In Air Filter Wheels/Tire/Brakes: STI Enkei 18x7.5 15-Spoke Black Wheels Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 225/45/18 Brembo BBK w/ 12.8in/12.4in Rotors (Performance Package) The Goal: To achieve the closest JDM tS build based on the MY17 BRZ as possible. The Influences: There others who have gone down this route such as @kuczynskika and @DSOmegaX and I had always been a huge fan of their progress and the dedication to keeping something in-house (in this case STI) as far as mods go. After seeing the 2017 BRZ STI Sport Concept at the Tokyo Auto Salon, and learning about the subtle yet significant MY17 changes which closely resembled this concept - I knew I had to order one. The 2017 BRZ STI Sport Concept: New Look The Conclusion: I'm very excited to continue modifying this car and thread based on the above principals of sticking to an all 'in-house' STI/tS build. I will continue to update this thread with my progress in hopes of also positively having an impact on the car community, especially with our FT86/BRZ/FRS Community! Thanks for taking a look and feel free to reach out! - Jon Last edited by JonRZ; 07-12-2018 at 03:21 AM. |

Excited to see this build progress! I plan on making similar mods to my 17 just because I love the look of the STI sport concept.

Looking forward to this as well. How does the 2018 TS compare to that JDM ts concept?
One thing I noticed that the 2018 TS will have is the same foglight grill that the concept has. Might be another thing to add to your list! |

The STI Performance Exhaust was certainly the hardest to come by and the most expensive of the mods above. I also had to fit a 13-16 midpipe to get the axleback to fit as the flanges (as you know) are difference on the 17'. They do make an updated STI axleback but it's almost impossible to find at the moment despite having the part number. I will say however that I like my foglights. Mind you, I ordered this car back in January. I likely would have waited for a 2018 tS had I known ... but, since I didn't, I'm making it my own! |

Apologies for the quality, but you can see (especially with the rear wheel) the 15mm difference. These are on the stock 17x7.5 215 Tires.

Went down a 130mi. mountain pass stretch north of Pittsburgh with a few members of our local club and ended up in Brady's Bend. Just thought I'd share a quick photo I took this past Sunday!

Can you confirm the part numbers for the front grill pieces? I like the way the mesh grill looks on the tS model
