Templar's Old school retro BRZ - Page 14 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Installed a bunch of minor modifications in the past few weeks :

- Perrin lightweight crank pulley (required a special OEM tool due to my A/T)
- Password:JDM engine bay dressing kit
- Brushed aluminium AC knobs

I also had a 6 feet banner made for display at car shows (mod list and such)

Leaving you with the latest pic that I took of my car, I'm thinking of framing this one and hanging it in my living room ! haha.

Regards,
Jonathan

Gorgeous photo, you should print it!

Man, I never get tired of seeing this car. The color is great, interior is classy, and the Rotas are to die for. I was trying to buy the exact same set of wheels from Wheeldude a couple of years ago (his last set?), but their lack of response made me lose interest. Those wheels are the key to this build.

Thank you very much ! Yes, I've heard the same thing from everyone trying to get those wheels. I was fortunate to find a slightly used set myself...

Here are a couple more recent pictures

Well, if you ever decide to get rid of 'em....

I've had my car for a month, and wanted to do a retro modern build. Lots of inspiration here!

I had a vision when i bought my car 4 years ago. This car was that vision. Spooky.

I love some of your photography of your car. You have raised the game on what can be done, with creativity and cash.

Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I picked up photography as a hobby a couple months ago, and it turned out into more than a hobby really fast. So i've been pretty busy..

Anyway, with that out of the way, i've been wanting to do a video shoot for a long time, but kept pushing back the project... but when Rota wheels offered me the opportunity of a free video, I couldn't pass this up! I'm very happy and proud to present you my Retro BRZ project for the first time in video!

Best regards,
Jonathan

I love the look of your car. Classic MG colors but on a more sporty frame. If I were to complain about anything....its the front grill. It needs something there, maybe chrome to set off the green paint more?

But the car is an 11/10 like said earlier!

FTemplar · 04-17-2018, 06:51 PM

Sorry for the lack of updates guys. Reason is simple... car hasn't changed one bit! Here's a cool light painted photo that I did last week-end though! Super stocked how good it came out and I plan on doing a lot more in the coming weeks / months, with other cars as well
