I havent spent much time under the hood yet, but I will be soon. So far I have an Apexi drop in filter, plugs for noise gen and both intake resonators, and Perrin light crank pulley waiting to be installed. I want to get some more miles in first.

I wonder if there's a more elegant way to route that wire behind the dash rather than in front?

My Flossy Grip Tape Shorty Heavyweight shift knob with custom engraving arrived today! They gave me a very nice discount for participating in the latest group buy.
This thing is hefty at 500 grams! I love how it shifts with this extra weight on top! It's definitely smoothed out the notchy throws with the stock knob and significantly reduced shifting effort. I'm happy with it! I may get some red paint and fill in the engraving for a little more contrast... |

Thanks for the video, that's really helpful! My stock power cord is too bulky and short with the curls, so I know what I need now; just ordered this: http://amzn.com/B006G1PHLY
The direct wire kit wouldn't have worked anyways since the fuse box is in the engine bay.... Looking forward to getting mine installed the right way!!! Thanks again! Last edited by ATL BRZ; 08-04-2012 at 07:46 PM. |

Off topic but if anyone in Northern Ohio ever needs any work done ( stero installs, alarms, etc) let me know. My friend is very talented. Thanks again for finding that part ATL BRZ. |

Also, where did you get that shift knob. I like the texture. Red paint would really bring out the contrast too! Looking forward to pics if you use red paint.

Make sure you get a shorty so it fits correctly with our reverse gear selector. |

A few pics from the Caffeine and Octane show today. What a huge turnout!
Only one other BRZ besides mine, though. We managed to get a couple cool pics of both. |

Great pictures, ATL BRZ! And in reply to your 7/31 tip, yes, Chris Wright has my number. I was among those he called when your CBS car became available. So glad to see that it went to someone on the ft86 forum.
And good call on the name "Melanie." It suits her well, and I like the allusion to Melas. I'm *trying* to wait until I can order a GBS 6MT Premium because after 7 years, the least favorite piece of my '05 Legacy 2.5GT is the auto climate control. It's getting tougher to be patient ... there was a SWP BRZ in Johns Creek on Saturday and I fell in love all over again. |
