Had my Kraftwerks SC belt break on me and now scratching my head on how or where i am going to get my belt swapped at. Have 2 belts just no place to replace it at. Looking at this kit has made me seriously reconsider recommending it since replacing the belt is more of a pain that i had ever imagined. Certainly not as simple as slipping it on and re tightening.

New RE71's and el-cheapo cast wheels. Going to get to try them out at autocross tomorrow. (They're already a little dirty from a test drive around the block.)

rotated tires, cleaned the backside of the wheels and cleaned the bunny and squirrel carnage from the liners. 37.5psi up front and 34.5 rear is showing a good wear pattern.



Edit...dealership service tech was cool and set an extra quart in the passenger floor. Only one BRZ on the lot in an ocean of foresters and outbacks. The sales manager said they where doing paperwork through the San Diego office as the Florida corperate was closed due to Irma.

Installed the 4 PIN trailer wiring for my Track BRZ and tested it. I also tested my Slambert hitch and my Leroy Engineering tire trailer. All works good now. Best Track setup I have ever had. It works absolutely awesome.

Tonight I'm going to do the Clutch Spring delete. It's free and easy (so the internet says)


The clutch is so much better without that spring. It took about 10-15mins to get it out. The E-clip is lost, it went flying somewhere, but they are easy to replace if anyone is foolish enough to put it back in.


Here is a before and after of the hood (after is painted black)

Had my RCE yellow lowering springs, whiteline camber bolts, Apex ARC-8 wheels and Pirelli P Zero all season tires installed on the 17 PP this weekend. More pictures to come once the weather clears up and I can do a proper detail. Also oem springs, tires and Performance Package wheels will all be for sale if anyone is interested. Loving the new set-up so far! Last picture is stock wheels with just the RCE springs. Name:  brzapex.JPG
