Been lurking here for a while, posting every once in a while. But now that I've bought a BRZ, I thought I'd say hi. WRB Limited is on the way. Still waiting on the car, hopefully the next couple days.

I bet the anticipation is killin' ya! . Great color choice too. There's one in WRB in the parking garage where I live that always parks next to a brand new WRX in same color.. they look super nice together!

Did you go with Auto or 6spd?

I look forward to spending some good time on the forum discussing this awesome thing we all have in common: The Driver's Car!!!

Hey Nate, congrats on the new ride! Unbelievable how quick it came in too! I've custom ordered a few cars myself, and it was 5 months of anticipation every time. You lucked out!

But anyway, I just wanted to add a shameless plug for our STG1 Tune if I may, because you were talking about the stock traction control and how ya liked it. So I just wanted to add that we built in two levels of more aggressive Racerom TC into our tune, and the results have been really well received. There are dozens of testimonials on this board if you visit some of our threads. Basically it just takes everything good about the stock TC system and makes it better by allowing a little more slip and spin, which is commonly described as "more fun" lol. It's a great balance between the stock system and no TC, and it's just one of several new features we incorporate (launch control anyone? ).

Anyways, enjoy your new ride! And if ya get the itch for these extra features and (a whole lot) more performance down the road, we'd love to hear from ya . Even if ya just have questions.. about anything, we'd be honored to have you use us a resource. Welcome!

Manual.

But ended up with Dark Grey. The WRB one was destined for another dealer, and agreed to trade with my dealer. When it got to the other dealer, someone offered cash, and they sold it. Lame. But dark grey is still an awesome color.

Hello!

I've been following this blog for a year, but this is my first post. I'm gearing up to make a BRZ/FR-S purchase in the next few months and this community has been a huge help as I've been doing my research.

Thanks to everyone for keep this forum active and exciting over the past year!

Hi all!!

I've owned Civics my whole driving life, but my last one started crapping out on me a couple weeks ago. So, I started looking for a new car and absolutely fell in love with the BRZ/FR-S.

I was able to find a used Manual BRZ Limited with 9k miles for $25k and I LOVE IT. The guy who owned it before me loved it too, but he had to let it go because he was too big for it haha (he replaced it with a WRX STI instead).
