My car just celebrated its first birthday!
To celebrate, we installed the Openflash UEL Header, Perrin OP, Motiv HFC FP and Perrin crank pulley as well as flashing the tune OFT Stage 2. I also sent the header and OP to Jet Hot for ceramic coating, to hopefully increase their longevity and keep engine bay temperatures down. Car is rather loud now, especially on cold start, but quiets down at normal idle. Very loud when you get on it too, but sounds great. Just need to turn the music up a few more decibels! Torque dip is completely gone and it makes good power all the way to 7000rpms before starting to fall off. On Thursday it'll be strapped to a Mustang dyno to see how its doing, so it will be interesting to see the results.

Finally got the BRZ on a dyno last week! Joined up for a dyno day at 42 Autosports in Concord, NC to see what it would put down on their Mustang dyno. Ambient temps around 70*, power mods were OFT Stage 2 93 tune, Openflash UEL header, Perrin OP, Motiv catted FP, Perrin catback, drop-in filter and Perrin inlet tube.
Pretty satisfied that it put down 183/155. Pic and graph below.

Modbargains duckbill painted and installed! Also ran out and took some pictures at sunset, to play with the light a little bit.

It's not bad - I'm part of a group called Triad86, we do most of our organization through Facebook, so you can search for us there. We do weekly dinners, will plan weekend drives when the weather is nice, a few of us do trackdays or AutoX, too. NC86.Club is another good group, but primarily in the Raleigh area. Hope to see you around!

Things have been quiet for awhile, but new and exciting things are on the horizon! Bought a JPM gauge hood in alcantara off a forum member here and just installed that last night. Adds a nice touch to the interior .
Recently sold my Forgestars to a member in a local club, but will be replacing those very soon with something a little more track/autox-friendly.

hey man, what happened with your BaysonR lip? it looks to me like you had it on for a while, then switched it out with an authentic STI lip. Did you not like the quality/fit of the replica? did it break?

It's the BaysonR lip! I just made it look like the authentic STI lip, without the big price tag. This way I don't care if I scrape it up since I can grab another off eBay for $70.

A few more updates:
- Bought and installed a used Driveway Labs version 2a rear diffuser. Quality is top notch and fitment is great. Added a couple decals on the rear strakes copying @Gunman's style - Swapped trans and differential oil for Motul Gear at about 26,000 miles. Diff oil was not in great shape, but the trans oil looked fine. - Installed Goodridge stainless steel brake lines and went with Motul brake fluid. Pedal feels very nicely solid now - great mod pairing with the master cylinder brace. - Installed the @949 Racing 6ULs in 17x9. Super close to rubbing the front struts. I'm going to pull them after about a week of regular driving and examine. I'll update again after the first autocross on this setup later this month.
