Definitely one of my favorite 86’s out there. Unconventional and unique. Excellently and exceptionally well executed. One of the few cars here that I have saved pictures of to view when I need some car-porn, alone time. Thank you sir for sharing your creation.

This is just an OUTSTANDING take on the BRZ. Congrats man, the car is beautiful.

Was flipping through YouTube last night and came across a vid of the 2017 Wicked Big Meet and saw a quick shot of your car (at 12:13). Best looking color and wheel combo, evah.

Sorry for replying several years late guys. I kinda forgot about this thread after a while! Thank you for your kind words, very appreciated!!

Sorry for the lack of updates, but nothing major was done to the car in several years... it has gone through another wrap and i'm gonna need a new wrap this summer as well, but I always try to find a color that's identical or very similar. However some big things happening this week guys! I have finally decided (and put aside the money) for forced induction! I'll update with pics and impressions when all is done

very excited right now!! I was hesitant to get this kit after seeing so many problems with the belt, but it's got the 30mm upgraded belt, and I don't plan on tracking the car, so I should be good... hopefully

Gah, I love this build so much. The Retro wheels give it so much

Thanks man! How do you like your C38 Rotrex kit?
I went for the C30 myself with the 30mm belt, I wanted a conservative setup/tune to keep the car for years to come, 245 WHP feels just right now (how it should have been OEM) but it's not a game changer either

It's been pretty good, I think. I had a really low entry price on it used and had to replace the blower itself a year later, but still more affordable than it would have been used. I'm now at 98k and have been boosted for since 38k or so I believe.

I've also kept it quite conservative since it's my primarily my daily and occasionally my drift machine. I had to upgrade to the 30mm belt as well. I guess they estimate me at 270hp, and it's been enough for me

I've got 3.73 gears in the rear and it's slowed things down for me and got me back into the 25mpg range.-- but that could be tune related amongst other things...
