Nothing at all, just patiently waiting for the warranty to be over so I can start "molesting" it...

Older gentleman in an older legacy wagon rolled up next to me at the light and was giving me thumbs up and asked to swap for a couple days. At the next light he was a car ahead in the next lane with his thumbs up and fist shaking ‘go get em sport’. Finally validated for being a motorist.

I swapped out the sidemarkers to clear and added amber Diode Dynamics LEDs.
So much cleaner looking now.

How it should have come from the factory. Nice!

Hi all! New here, just registered. Got a 2013 BRZ 2 weeks ago.

Couldn't sleep last night, so I adjusted the headlight cut-off up a bit, now #2 is the new #0.

Welcome, nice buy. No idea why you couldn't sleep and no idea what you've done to your 'headlight cut-off'.. but sounds interesting, #2 is the "new" #0. Wish other stuff was as easy.

Thanks!

Was wondering why the headlight adjustment dial has 5 different height/cut-off levels and it's default at the highest setting #0. Definitely the easiest mod and unthinkable with other cars.

the high beam shines up into the tree's unless you adjust it down. it's also helpful to have a few tweaks up yet to adjust for a trunk load of stuff like on road trips

also, few seem to care, but i did a how-to a while back with a spare adjuster. i love the infinite adjustment it offers.

I think we are in the presence of an expert. I just can't believe the amount of "stuff" going into the little Twin..

I see some Ex Tretris generation experience going on here...

Still tripping on the guy lines at 3 am after all these years...

Great camping car, spent close to 2 months last year August/september camping out of one.. Already at 39K Km (24k miles) after only a year...

1. Fumoto valve and oil change.

2. Cut and clear coated carbon side markers.

3. Installed keyed steering column. Allows manually locking/unlocking steering and provides a place for my keychain that isn’t any of the limited storage space. Electronic lock relocated to the back side of knee plate mount. Note: internal steering shaft is different between push start and key start cars; lock mechanism not interchangeable, so column swap required.

folding those useless backseats creates an amazing space for outdoor activity.
