First update!

Well, drove around some more today, up to around 450 miles! Break in is almost over, and I can't get over how nice this car is. Just a bummer that it's been raining everyday since I bought her, and it's still going to continue to rain all week. I just need to find an open parking lot and such once this is open so I can learn how to handle it when it loses traction. Been driving AWD all my life, and I can handle that in the snow perfectly fine, but never tried RWD yet!

Oh, and this gas mileage is AMAZING.

Here's some pictures taken today. Enjoy!





I've been carrying around Meguiar's Quick Detail and a few fiber-cloth rags...keeping them bugs off. Meanwhile my buddy just got his Fiat vinyl wrapped in matte white today, so he just has to use a rag to wipe the bugs off. ._.

Here's what I'm planning on making my car look like down the road.




I'll probably use a different type of wheel, but that's the color combination I'd like to have.

Oh well, until next time! <3

That Forza rendering looks really good. I like the combo of white with purple wheels.

Update Two!

Well I finally got to do a "legitimate" photoshoot...in the same place I do every other photoshoot, at home! I'm still a new photographer/editor, but here's some pictures I took. You can find every picture in my other FT86 thread here, or on my Flickr account, here.





Besides that, driving is still amazing, and I have yet to have to fill up yet! Patiently awaiting my first fill up.

Until next time!

Well, I added my first sticker to my car. My STi had a sticker of Fluttershy, and I decided that this car is a little bit more derpy than that Subaru, so naturally. Derpy Hooves!




Also, my first two fill ups are complete. My first fill up was 26.4MPG, second was 28.3MPG for an average of 27.3MPG so far! Damn I love this car!

Well, I haven't updated this in awhile. So it's time for one BIG MASSIVE UPDATE!

On January 4th, my Berk Technology Track pipe w/ 4" polished tip came in, and I love it. I've been using the Nameless Performance track pipe for about a week, I was originally going to keep that, but after seeing how my car looked with the tip, I couldn't get rid of it. Sounds DELICIOUS, I'll have some rev videos of it soon. It sounds just like the Nameless Performance exhaust, which is expected, although I believe it to sound a little better at the high-RPM range. Here's the video, pictures below it.

Here's everything it came with!


Being immature as always.


Comparing it to the Nameless Performance track pipe, same idea, just bigger tip!

Finally, here's some on the car. (Don't mind the dirtiness, I'll clean her tomorrow. :P)




And lastly, here's the sticker!

Yesterday I installed BC Racing BR - Extreme Drop Kit coilovers. Ran into some problems with the endlinks hitting the control arms, but today we got that all fixed up and here's how it's sitting as of today. Planning on going another half inch lower tomorrow.

Taken with iPhone 5. Click for HD resolutions.

Lowered it another half inch or so today! Here's some pictures. Once again, click for HD quality.



Test fitting new wheels. :P


I'm not nearly low enough yet.


Another FRS on lowering springs.




Stock BRZ.


And lastly, the clearance to get into my driveway, so going lower!
