Just be careful, I had it in VSC Sport mode in the rain the other day and it actually allows for a LOT of angle. I was definitely not expecting that.

These cars are frisky period! A certain amount of care and respect is required... I've tried my traction control (not sport mode - all on!) on a wet road and I was able to see 45 degrees of slide before they cut in...

Drive safe peeps!

I've only done some light, subtle mods, mostly from an appearance view. The first thing I did was delete the growl tube that comes back into the cabin. I added the BRZ trunk lid liner, CNC aluminum plaque in the console indent, full length arm rest and I put the 2" shortie radio antenna on. (Regarding the antenna, I haven't noticed any change in the reception because of the change.) I had considered Katzkins but I find I'm not unhappy with the interior the way it is. If I can find an acceptable tail light cover in all red I will consider that. Other than that I'm happy with it the way it is.

I'm the same - fell in love with it when I saw the pics, and no reason for me to change that picture except for some very subtle things here and there.

I can appreciate mods though and love seeing what other people are doing.

Did I have fun driving to work this morning. Oh yes I am now officially in love with this car. What ever combination of the intake pipe or filter, it makes a huge difference.
Gone is that sluggish feel from 2000rpm up to 5000rpm, she pulls from start to finish and smooth as you push that pedal down.
The sound is unbelievable, like a roar. When you hit the throttle gives a quick suck sound and off she goes.
What ever the dyno results show, I really could not be bothered just the feel and response is worth every cent....
Now to hunt for that GTI......

Zeta Performance intake and works filter.

I left the sound charger on, as I did not want to remove anything from he car in fear of warranty issues, even though this part maybe not do anything....

I opted for the STD to mod my 86 my style, so set myself a budget of R35k, being the difference of the STD to High spec. So been 6 months finding the right parts at the best price.
Been really fortunate with family in the States and being in the logistics game, shipping has been a huge saving in sticking within the budget.

Sound has been the most costly build. But I wanted a design with top quality, so I suppose you pay for it.

Once I have the lip kit fitted, will share pics, nice to show others what can be done and where the various items can be purchased through reliable suppliers.

I also have some spares which I brought in extra, which I will sell off soon.

Brayson side skirts
HT auto rear spats
LED DRL fog globes
LED high intensity reverse globes
GT 86 rear badge
Car mats
