I don’t know much about the torque solution but I’m sure it’s better than the TRD lol. The STI is slightly shorter and basically OEM+ so there is that price tag lol.

Filmed a quick cold start video of my car from the outside today and almost smashed into my ladder. A lot louder and throatier than I thought compared to in cabin noise.

Got the rear driver side of my bumper hit by some rando today. That's what I did to my BRZ. What's crazy is, I didn't feel it when it happened. So now I gotta sift through my dashcam footage to figure wtf happened.

I'm dumb.

What are the pros and cons of a break booster delete. I see the aesthetic benefits but ...?
