Congrats on the Z! That's a lot closer to my expertise, being a Nissan.
I've got a lot of Nissan resources if you ever need anything for it (think: OEM/JDM bits at cost).

Thanks man, I'm really enjoying it right now. Brings me back to a happy time once I take it out for a spin, lots of nostalgia. Love the smooth V6 and the shove in the seat once the turbos spool. Everything feels like it was well designed and thought out.

Some quick snaps with the new iPhone X, I'm impressed with the camera for a phone.

Latest and last update on the BRZ, 3/2/2018.

All back to 100 percent stock, going to CarMax on Monday. A little sad to see her go, so strange being so stock.

Here she sits today.


Wife gave me the okay to replace it with a "nice 4 door."

Got a new M3 in Alpine White with Sakhir Orange interior, most every option included Carbon Ceramic Brakes. Had it for about a month now and I've added a couple mods, M Performance Exhaust, M Performance CF Diffuser and M Performance CF lip spoiler.







These brakes are nearly 16 inches! Fun facts: The best thing about Carbon Ceramics...NO BRAKE DUST...EVER! The worst thing about Carbon Ceramics? Total replacement costs for 4 rotors and brake pads = $17,474. I nearly fell out of my chair when I read that, good news is as long as you don't chip or crack them, supposedly they will last the life of the car.

I'm selling the parts off a few at a time, got the wheels, HKS suspension and Velox aero parts left.

KBB had my BRZ "trade-in" good condition at $14,100-15,000, their instant offer came back at $14,600 with a partner Toyota dealership.

CarMax gave me $16,500 today,

It was sad day driving it for the last time.
