WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY? - Page 1211 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

JD001 · 07-06-2018, 12:50 PM

Took her for her annual service... 4year 40k service even though its only done 9.6k.. She also had the mandatory safety/emissions test (MOT). She passed with flying colours.. I was expecting a possible hiccup with the emissions (the test has been tweaked this year) as the car runs a Berk fast cat.

All good but the wallet will take some time to recover!!

It was a amazon seller with 1 pair left. Price skyrocketed after I bought em. Lol.

STi Side skirts installed. All my plans for the car are now complete. I made an excel sheet in october when i bought it.

Eventually I may add the clear lens TOMs tails, and the STi gurney flap, but no rush there.

I went solo car-camping at Lassen Volcanic National Park. Got to hike volcanoes, explore lava caves, see majestic waterfalls, and smell some of Mother Nature's sulfur farts, all while carving some of those twisties

Lassen is California's best kept secret. Beautiful place but not as well known. Definitely worth a visit.

Yes, I slept in the BRZ for two nights and it was great!

Lake Helen night shot...please excuse my nonexistent photo skills.

Bye Lassen! You are so beautiful!

Installed SPC lower control arms. Getting ABS and traction control warning lights on the dash now, but it sounds like it's just due to the alignment being way out of wack. Luckily I have an appointment to have the alignment done tomorrow morning.

How the heck did you sleep in it? In one of the seats?

Alignment is done and the warning lights are gone. Had a nice drive back from the shop on some twisty back roads.

Went for a drive and gave it its first fill up!

I installed the diode dynamics tail as turns, changed the turn signals into high mounted back up lights and also wired up a 4th brake light where the rear fog is. It's not a running light, just a brake light.

Also I swapped out my chrome emblems with the black ones from the HYPERBLUE!!! ones. I'm slowly trying to get rid of any and all chrome on my car.
Does anyone know if the WRX size emblems fit our cars?

Thanks! I was actually choosing between your WRB and Heritage blue when car shopping, when I saw it on an Impreza I wasn't too sure, but when I finally saw it on this car, outdoors, I knew it was for me. I still have a soft spot for WRB, but I am very happy with my car's unique look.

I picked up BRZ TS White this morning from dealer, even though I drove manual car about 20 years ago, it was different experience from transitioning from an automatic (2003 Honda Pilot) to Manual. I am yet to find out biting point position and throttle level. I will be driving in my neighborhood this weekend. By the way, I stalled twice at the intersection.

Congrats! You’ll get the hang of it. I found throttle a bit more sensitive when I picked my brz up last year. Needed to get used to it.
