The wiring fittings are from Antigravity, but I purchased them through Checkered Sports with the mount.

The mounting position is decent. I drilled holes in the body and used self-tapping screws. The screws in the front are into some bracket with good thick metal. The screws in the back are in pretty thin sheet metal. Being as the whole assembly is pretty light, I think it'll be just fine.
I also put a couple strips of thin weather stripping under the battery to act as a cushion, plus the mount from Checkered Sports was a tiny bit taller then the battery.

Great find. Thank you sir.

bought this. cheap but very effective and noticeable horsepower gains

Took the 8 all the way to Arizona and back solo. Speed trap central

Well it left me stranded on the side of the highway yesterday. Gave it a new alternator and it was appeased.

So I didn't do something to MY car, but I did do something to lots of other folks' cars by turning my personal "BRZ cubby switch panel" project into an, "Ok fine, I'll 3D-print a few for some local folks" project, which then became an, "Ok fine, I'll sell them to other folks too through my blog" project, which then became a, "Whoa, I'm selling so many of these I should make a dedicated site for them project!"

And I got a new camera for Christmas, and decided to mess around with it by making a video that shows how I make them, and I just wanna share because I think it came out pretty well given I'm not a professional movie maker, lol.

That is nice! I have the older 4 position I bought off the site and I can never remember which one is which after I haven't driven the car for a while and I always forget to make labels for the switches

Been a long time since I last posted, but I’ve been an active lurker for years. After 7.5 years of ownership and 131,000 miles, I sold my 2015 BRZ today. Really appreciate the great community here and the many extremely helpful DIY guides!

May have just ruined the handling! But seriously, now no worries if the car sits for a couple of weeks.

More like ruined the wallet.

Just dropped the Berz off at the shop to have a Jackson Racing dual radiator/oil cooler installed and an IRP short shifter. The Forester XT wasn’t too helpful with the Edelbrock SC. Not crazy temps but still over 210*f with any hard driving. It would be fine for NA.

Really excited to try the IRP shifter. It’s the V3, but I understand they are still prone to rattle. Other than the noise, I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews.

Over 210 should be quite natural, especially with a supercharger. Obviously it depends on how much over. I'm sure you're in good shape though.

It’s mostly prep for Spring/Summer when I was hitting 225 in traffic on the highway. The cooler is thermostatic, so should be on an “as needed” basis.

Please give us a review of the IRP shifter. I’ve been on the fence on this mod. Would like to hear your thoughts.

The machine becomes weightless. Just disappears. And all that's left is a body moving through space and time. 7,000 RPM. That's where you meet it. You feel it coming. It creeps up on you, close in your ear. Asks you a question. The only question that matters. Who are you?
