Haha, yeah I have mine set to 4500rpm also. I'm really emberassed to say I just cracked 1300Km today. The emberassing part is I've had the car since June 28

EDIT: Just noticed you also have your Airaid installed, mine is still sitting in box, hope to install it by the weekend
Roadtrip needed

I think my commute is around 25-30km so I get that on the car everyday, also because I live in a bedroom community there is nothing to actually do in my town so in the evenings I tend to head back into Regina for sports, the gym, to see my friends etc. Miles add up quick! I will be sure to snap a picture! I will crest 1200 today..so maybe get the other 400 by the end of this weekend.

I was just told by Mo at Swift Racing Technologies that my exhaust will be shipped out tomorrow Super hyped! Should make the drives through autumn leaves that much funner. I plan on doing 2 weeks of driving on the exhaust (a tank or two of gas) before doing the ECU Flash. This way I can see what my car was like after break in, but before the flash. Get a grasp for what I have throughout my full RPM range, not just 0-5000. At that point I will also install the Perrin pulley. I am excited to see how it all goes.

It took me about 1.5 hours to install myself. I am sure everyone could do it faster than I did, but I took my time and had some struggles fitting pieces, which is good cause everything fits perfectly and I am not having any problems with my intake.

Yeah I'll be taking my time also on install

Still waiting for my cable and tune to show from Visconti

[JPxM0Dz]

Installed my intake at lunch today, everything went ok, but your right about everything was tight fitting

Well I am over 1300 KM now.. so just another 300 to go before I install more engine parts. I may flash the engine soon as I break it in, and then put the exhaust on after... probably what I will do lol. I am also considering ordering the front white marker lights (and subsequently slapping some LED's in them)

thoughts?

I thought of swapping out the side markers also, but I kinda like the yellow on WRB look
As far as leds go, definitely!

Is that a block heater cord I see hanging out of the front grill ?

Subaru dealer doesn't even have mine yet, said they should have them in a weeks time. Not that it matters too much as I will parking my BRZ over the winter

[SkAsphalt]

haha yes it is. pretty sure I was not even charged for it. so that's nice

I went ahead and ordered some LED turn signals for out back *don't quite know why* and some switch back LED's for up front. Will look great with my HID's once I get them installed.

Yeah I have those also on front and rear. Big improvement over stock. Swapped out my fog lamp bulbs today for some 6000k SMD Cree bulbs, they match my 6000k D4S HIDS quite nicely

Installed my Perrin light weight pulley today. Between that and switching back my front parking light bulbs to the stock ones (stupid me and my wrong chrome bulb order) , it took me less than 40 minutes to do all of the work! That crank bolt sure is tight!

As it should! Did you need to remove the intake or did you have room to work ? Looks like there's room as we have the same setup. I need to install my pully

All I had to do was remove the main pipe from the throttle body to the intake box. The rest I could easily move to the side

Remember to put your car in 6th and really crank up that Ebrake, other wise you will just roll the car back (as I did the first timem, when I did not have the ebraked pulled enough)

Also I have updated my first post on this thread to make it a little cleaner!
