Sys' 13 LR BRZ Limited MT - She's arrived!

About:
I can't say this will be a traditional journal as I'm not sure how much is going to be done to the car... certainly not as much as my STi but I figured I'd lock in a journal spot.

The car will be shared between my father and I. He decided to consolidate his two gas guzzlers (an 09 Fozzy XT and a 05 Ford F150) which he rarely used into a car we both would want to use with improved mpg to boot.

I've been a Subie guy since first driving moving from an 00 Outback to 03 Fozzy to 07 Leggy 2.5GT to my current car, an 08 STi.

The idea for the BRZ is that it will be more of a DD car and long trip car than my STi which is now modded almost to a point where it's becoming less practical. I look forward to learning a RWD platform--I learned stick on a 5.0 Mustang years ago but it wasn't something with any amount of handling prowess.

And with that said here is the first actual picture of her my salesman MMS'ed me:

Nope just those 3 pictured unfortunately. I can't wait to get out and take some proper photos of her!

Also just wanted to note that most likely matte black OZ Ultralagerras will be going on to her + Bridgestone RE670 sports initially... that's what we have laying around.

Thankfully we already have the wheels/tires set up so I think really just RCE springs + an exhaust is all this baby needs.

Would you mind giving me an idea of how long you waited from the date you ordered to when you received it? I ordered mine from becker as well...

Been very busy with work but I wanted to update with pictures and the wheels I'm planning on putting a deposit down on. Wheels are Wedsport TC105N 17x9 +35 @ 15.9lbs/per. I'll be putting on Dunlop Star Specs 245/40/17.

Most likely I'll just be ordering the wheels and waiting to put them on until Spring. It's gonna suck but I won't be driving it much in the winter.

I put 430 miles on her in 2.5 days since we got her this past Thursday. Plans thus far are simply wheels, tires, and *maybe* RCE yellow springs. I love the way it handles stock but a drop would be nice.
