WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY? - Page 1307 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

First mod! Picked up a set of used OEM/JDM clear side markers on eBay for $35. Overall good shape but I had to swap in an "A" clip from one of the original units. Installed some Philips amber LEDs with it, which had the brightness I wanted (not too bright).

I'd probably have left the amber side markers on there, but the clear ones really clean it up especially with WRB + red Brembos.

Installed some free Valenti's

Fresh trunk lid without spoiler

Shade is slightly off but the rest of the car could use a buff anyway lol. Once things get back to normal I will have the body shop match it up to the tee.

I have been always wanting to rid my stock wing since I got the car. Added the STI logo after this shot was taken.

the dragon was covered in organics last night.. play time in the pollen and sticks.

zero traffic and it smelled really good.

You missed a trick here.. the blank plate is screaming for a slogan "This is the real thing, it's not a FRS."

last time i drove the dragon in wet/leaves it was fucking terrifying... mostly because i was going too fast for the conditions lol

my 2020 BRZ PP - car has less than 200 miles but couldn't resist... lowered her over the weekend on Tein Flex Z with spacers and perrin riser for the spoiler.

Bad news. My 2.3l stroked and bored engine for the tS is on hold due to Corona. The custom JE pistons won't be ready any time soon. 2 track cars and neither running.

Did manage to play with my tS's cooling stack. Looks like everything is going to play nicely. Still need to grab material to mock up some ducting also some 3/16" foam tape for between the cores too. So much thinner than my turbo car's setup.

Also gave in and threw on the JDM Sti fender garnishes on her. Had them a few months now. Happened to be debading the Evo so went ahead and removed and retaped the garnishes.

i prefer to drive it after a rain has pummeled the road with sticks and leaves. keeps the squids from surprising me in the corners.

can you post a picture of the inside of your trunk lid? i need to reinforce mine for a gt-r spoiler and i'm curious if there's any adjustments i can make/learn from that design..

LatentWagen · 04-26-2020, 12:32 AM

Haven't posted up in a while, but today I finished detailing my '17. Clayed, compounded, polished, and finished with a coat of carnuba wax. She cleaned up alright considering 48k miles of all season driving in the northeast.

Also cleaned up the interior and threw on a JDM STi knob, so basically stock PP for now aside from the SSR's (17x8.5/+48) and PS4S in 245/40... I'm waiting patiently to get off warranty before I install a set of RCE Yellows and camber bolts

soundman98 · 04-26-2020, 12:40 AM

after 2 weeks, i figured i should plug in the battery maintainer...

My battery is currently sitting outside of the car... Fully charged, just need to put it back in its rightful place and start the car, drive it even.. but I think we've got another few months of lockdown...
