What did you do to your 2nd gen BRZ today?

Only done a quick test so far, though seems to work well. No additional apps needed.

Cable is fixed to the device - I'll see if I can run an extension and mount it somewhere more discrete.

How do you find the sound quality vs wired? I've been meaning to do the same but have been holding off since I care about the audio quality getting degraded/compressed over wireless.

went for 18x9.5 +38!

Wanted these wheels so bad but they didn't come in 5x100 bolt pattern, found out that work japan can do special order so I hopped on it asap before the price increases 2/8

Oh nice! Yea I’ll think you’ll fit them, just gonna have to run down a size on tires probably. Look forward to seeing the final result.

It uses WiFi, not Bluetooth, so there is no degradation in sound quality.

The system is sufficiently poor that I might not have noticed either way

Correct.

I tried the STI shift knob and the GR86 wide knobs and didn't like either and stuck with stock. Changed door, overhead, and trunk bulbs to Philips LEDs. Inching towards 1000k miles and will do the first oil change this weekend.

Nope, none so far. Some folks reported different behavior on first gens, so YMMV.

So the 1 gen parts fit? This was one of my favorite mods on my ‘13. Not having the diff bounce around makes such a difference in the drivetrain lash.

I got rid of the subframe bushing inserts, too much noise for not enough benefit.

Will probably install them this weekend.

100 miles on the odo so far and pushed it a little bit, the car sounds so good from within the cabin and I only got up to 5k RPM.

Having so much fun with this car it's unbelievable

Is that with active sound?

Gen 1 diff bushing inserts fit, yes.

I haven't tested the subframe bushing inserts yet. I never had noticeable NVH on my first gen from the subframe bushings.

Yeah, gonna have to really figure out what specs I want to run. This is my daily driver and will be bringing it to the track to slide around in, unsure if I want to do a 245/35 square summer tire setup and buy burner rear wheels or run 225/40 all seasons w stretch all around for some easier time sliding
