WRB BRZ is finally here after 6 months of waiting! :) - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So my car came on September 1st. I pre-ordered March 6th but changed my order from a premium to a limited on April 9th once pricing was announced. I was 2nd in line at my dealer in Ohio. Didn't get a VIN until July 28th. My ETA was 8/27. Love the car. She had 6 miles on the odometer when I drove her home. I replaced the side and back speakers, added a 500W Alpine Amp, and added 2 10' kicker subs. The sound system is great now! Here are some pics!

Congrats. Looks like my car

Any CEL/idle issues? Hopefully not. If your VIN is not on the 26xx-27xx range, you should be good (...seeing the trend on the issues section).

oh, it has paddle under the steering-wheel.

No CEL, no idle, no chirping. VIN is 26XX. Was very scared reading the CEL threads. I even notified the dealer of these problems before the car came in and sent him a link to these forums. He pretty much told me he can't do anything until something breaks. It has 800 miles on it. Runs great so far. Crossing fingers :X I'm hoping I got lucky and got a random correctly built engine

Well never drove a manual and had a 1996 Camry before this car. I've always been a fan of the supra/celica body style. That is the main reason I decided to buy this vehicle. Not for power or racing. Just to have a really nice looking rare vehicle in my price range

Congrats!

StarsGarrador · 09-13-2012, 12:41 AM

Oh your poor front bumper

ngabdala · 09-13-2012, 12:56 AM

Congrats dude. I have the same color trim, but mine is a MT.

I recently tinted my windows and I think you should too! I went with about 30%. Looks great.

Grim speed has the relocated licsene plate tow kit. It looks beautiful though I love mind. Congrats

This definitely needed to be in the Member's Car Journal, and because of that, I am going to have to give you a One-Month Ban..

Buttttt, seeing as your car is so damn sexy, I'll let it slide this time...

Enjoy your car! It looks stunning!
