:::YOHAN04's WRB BRZ:::

A bit late to the party....


My ownership of cars has been somewhat of a rollercoaster ride; blown engines, accidents and $$$$. However, perseverance pays off and I have completed my build of 2005 STi and 2007 M5.






I've been following the GT86/FRS/BRZ since the first concept was shown years ago and as soon as it was released, I placed an order in 6/12. Few month later (more like half a year ), my BRZ arrives. Here she is, still in her virgin sheets.





Despite the lack of power, this car is one of the most enjoyable cars I have driven (That steering and driving position!!). So fun in fact, that I drive it through snow storm on stock summers. Stupid, but fun.

Looks great!

What are your wheel specs? I've been wondering what the silver RPF1's look like on our color. Also, what are your future plans?

Are your wheels/tires staggered or all the same size?

Thanks! The wheels are 18x9.5, +33 (5mm spacer). As for future plans, I really want to keep this an compliant DD, so I probably won't go too crazy with this. I do want to stay N/A, so I'll probably add header, over/front pipe and tune. As for suspension/drivetrain, I plan to do RCE camber plates, Koni inserts and Cusco final drive. Should be a fun DD

Wheels are same size, tires are 255/265 RE-01R/RS-R for now. The tires are bit overkill LOL

With those tires I'm assuming you'll be driving the WRX in the rain?

What can I say, it's a fun 400+whp snowmobile
Although I just put on summer tires on the STI so I'm pretty screwed when it snows now.
