WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY? - Page 166 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

alignment
cargo mat
scraped the fender side edge of the bumper while backing out of the garage sideways trying to avoid wife's car in the driveway; mis-judged the length of the nose. Those humps on the wheel archs makes the nose look shorter than it actually is. not an excuse, just different from my other cars.

New rotors, pads, brake lines, fluid. What a freakin difference.

I do most of my driving in Snohomish and King county. I did get bothered once in Canada, but he let me skate when he realized I was from Washington.

Yeah I figure it's one of those things. I actually had a girlfriend get a ticket for "Not wearing a Seatbelt" when she was wearing it. So I kinda try to avoid hassles. Also, I kinda like the look of it.

Put plate on passenger side visor. Not sure about all states but CT law says has to visible from front of car. I have mine up with rubber bands and put down when see cops. Knock on wood never been pulled over

Installed my Zeta Performance inlet pipe with noise generator delete.

Yesterday I:
-Picked it up from the shipyard with 4 miles on it (yay being-a-salesman privileges!)
-Signed all the paperwork for it
-Bought the rear cargo tray
-Drove it home to find new BRZ keychain waiting in the mailbox
-Peeled the plastics off it (Felt like Christmas!)
-Washed it
-De-badged it
-Installed STi titanium ball shift knob

Today I:
-Drove it to work
-Acquired its first rock chip
-Admired it through the window all day
-Ordered a BPS matte aluminum short throw shifter for it
-Drove it home
-Wrapped the center dash panel with 3M Di-Noc carbon fiber vinyl

Thursday will be proper full detailing day and diffuser installation!

About time...congrats!

Installed the newly revised Rexpeed side mirrors. No more blind spots!

Seraph · 06-05-2013, 01:37 AM

Over the weekend we installed a mesh grill to protect the radiator... it gets dinged up pretty quickly...

Ganthrithor · 06-05-2013, 02:33 AM

Today I drove it to get sushi, which was awesome because I'm in California now

These cars are so much fun when there are good roads around. I love my shitty stock tyres-- they make the car so fun.

Don't mod it too fast! You have to make it last.

I did the same mod a couple weeks ago, how did you keep the mesh grill to stay attached to the bumper black opening slots?
