Alabang BRZ,

Are you going the Turbo route? I'm going with the HKS supercharger which should arrive by next month. Not as much HP as the other turbo kits but gives more linear acceleration.

Yeah, I guess July is too soon considering most people waited for 6 to 8 months. Anyway, ok naman kung December... saktong Christmas gift! hehe

Good to know that ground clearance wouldn't be a problem. Thanks!

i got mine in MI greenhills the very same day i called them inquiring about the brz. sakto lang na meron stock so i picked it up the same day. no reservation no waiting time. i guess i was lucky. one of my brothers waited a month the other one just a week. i guess it depends on the color, we got dark grey, white and silver. i heard red was the rarest and blue has a very long line.

So the modding bug has bit you already.

haha yeah! couldn't resist the urge to get my rear foglight activated. its there na kasi, sayang naman kaya pinagana ko na. then i had the reverse lights changed nadin para isahan na yung kabit since binaklas na yung buong thing. and naaliw kasi ako sa brightness/intensity of the led lights so i bought it nadin hahaha! and aside from that some other minimal stuff like led plate light and a 2" antenna.

my sa told me na they only released 2 red brz's, so i guess yours is the 3rd one. well dapat lang na di nila kami pag antayin our family have purchased a lot of subies from them already since 2008, 3 forester n/a, 2 impreza, 4 brz, 1 lgt, 1 fxt and 1 STi. kaya yung 4 na brz they gave it to us 1.9M flat plus free lto, tpl and tint. good deal considering how hard it is to get one.

I park in reverse and whenever I see depressions or humps I inch my way over them.

Downramps, humps, sidewalks and parking barriers are a bane for my 5 door hatch WRX.

I'll let the warranty lapse then we shall see what we can do. MI should honor their warranty commitments.

game,

In other countries is the rear fog light activated?

in europe they're required to have rear fog lamps installed in their cars. and usually in europe mapapansin mo nasa bumper yung lights aside from those that are attached to the body of the car like yung sa mga pajero and other cars.

Let me rephrase. Is your rear fog light mod duplicate a 86/BRZ sold in in the EU?

How much did it cost you and how long?

Will it void warranty?

ayun lang, i'm not sure about the warranty. but most likely i think it would void the warranty since they're going to drill in a hole for the light socket.

i had it done at autokozmetix. it cost me 2k, but it looks stock since even the rear fog light indicator in the dash would light up now. tapos its wired to the front fog light switch so it turns on w/ that.
