WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?

[rtunder13]

Replaced my 16 BRZ’s OEM suspension with 17+ 86/BRZ including the rear sway bar. Also finally got some camber bolts in. I’ve been driving the heck out of it and I can’t get over how much better it feels. No harshness,even more pointy, balanced much better in turns and the front doesn’t push nearly as much before. I’m so happy about it! Found all parts used and spent a measly $140. If you haven’t updated your pre facelift car yet you totally should! Now to find a 4.3 diff

Not very exciting, but removed the trunk lock key mechanism and free'd it up so the key works again. Good for another 8 years.lol

GSR is currently dead. The owner of the land scrapped the road track idea a few months back and is currently building a dirt oval. That could change in the future, but I don't find it likely.

Didn't make it out to Boise over the weekend, but the event was on the channel 9 news this morning. Looked like a good turnout.

That sucks. This is pushing me to installing a fire system in the car. I was lucky when mine threw a rod, it only lost a little oil.

good think i was crusing at 70mph when it happened and good thing i had thermal coated headers. i didnt even think of a fire but my dipstick is dry. all 5L of oil came out. I really want to see what happened but its been raining. tonight im going to try and drop the skid plate

There is a picture on here somewhere of a recent engine bay fire from throwing a rod. That was already in my head after losing an engine on track.

i 110% dodged a bullet here. luckily i rolled up and off ramp so all the oil pooling on my skid plat was running off and onto the street. my ace headers are now a nice brown from the oil that did spray on it. also adding an extinguisher to my build list

Time to rebuilt it AOL style; bigger, faster, stronger.

so i took most of the stuff apart and found a nice hole on the cam covers on one side. so i dropped the pan and its like sifting for gold. took off the oil pick up and found some strands of gasket maker in there.



my theory was avcs failed a retainer or cam then punched a hole and it sprayed all the oil out until the valve hit the piston and killed the engine. this makes sense because i lost power before a bang and the car hopped. also oil sprayed out of my passenger wheelwell. oh yeah they also resealed my heads because they were leaking 600 miles ago. calling the dealer and telling them they are fixing it. i have a blackstone for 800 miles ago and no wear metals

[Breadman]

double post but heres a quick tear down. calling the dealer tomorrow since they resealed my heads less than 600 miles ago
