WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?

I guess this is why people do this mod or remove the spring altogether.

Full disclosure: I learned to drive stick on this car last year, so I'm still somewhat of a novice. However since then I've driven three other manual cars that are each very different, so I do have some frame of reference.

The best thing I ever did to this car was adjust the clutch pedal to grab almost immediately. Made it easier to drive

I went from an Integra GS-R to my FR-S and the difference between the two clutches was dramatic. The helper spring took all of the effort and nuance out of the clutch, which would help beginner drivers buy annoy seasoned veterans. I did eventually change out the stock spring with the MTEC one and it did bring back some of the feel. I also changed out the shifter springs for the MTEC ones and that helped reduce some of the notchiness.

Anyone use an adhesive protector for their front lip? Suggestions welcome.

yes! I am far from a manual trans novice and this thing was just not quite right. I adjusted the rod above the gas pedal so that there is a little bit of free play and it grabs closer to the floor. I actually had it start to engage about half an inch off the floor but that was too much. Makes it drive quite a bit more normal now

Is there power up there behind the mirror so that you can hard-wire the v1 up in the headliner? mobdro tubemate

not that i would use. there's power for the dome light constant-on, and there's power for the mirror. but i would run a 3-conductor off the radio power connections for that function. because i'd rather lose the radio than the dome light or mirror with my garage door buttons in a problem.

She was treated to the sixth year service and new boots.. driving really nice. The tyres quieter than the old set and the bumps are more rounded, however only driven about 20miles (from the garage to home).

Finally recieved my front lip from Japan. It's the Toyota 86 GR front spoiler with bumper side fins. I've always loved the look of the lip since it came out on the 86 GRMN.

Fast forward to 2019, I got the BRZ yet still wanted that front lip. I obtained it through Yahoo Auctions. Just test fitting for now. I know that the 2017+ 86 and BRZ have different holes to drill for the lip. I will need to "mold" the front lip towards the bumper. You can see the gap near the fangs of the bumper. Pics below:

Installed my jdl ultra quiet front pipe, some spacers to fix rub at full lock, and fixed an issue with a backout exhaust bolt

Installed these headlights, diode dynamics always on module, and JDM sidemarkers (cant get them to clip in properly though)

Installed my custom emblems! Super happy with how they look. @pete39sp on instagram made them for me around Christmas and I just got around to putting them on.

Up close photos of the trunk really show just how bad the orange peel is on the factory paint here





I did get a matching one made for my steering wheel airbag emblem, but after looking up how badly I would have to hack at it I didn't feel comfortable doing that. So that emblem is just decorating a file cabinet in my room with a bunch of other car parts stickers.

He just shipped mine on saturday and I can't wait to get them! I got a completely different design but yours look amazing too!
