The wheels are probably my favorite mod! It's a close race with the clear TOM'S taillights and JDM GT-86 steering wheel!

I logged into nasioc for the first time in forever the to other day and thought to myself why isn't this on ft86 club!
This car is beautiful and represents the KISS method to me, so much attention to small details while retaining the original spirit of the car!

Thanks! I've received a lot of input from friends and other members on a lot of my mods. Even from random members just passing through. I love getting input from everyone because in my world, a vehicle is a shared experience. I get to drive it all the time, but YOU have to look at it. So then I ask, "What would you like to see?" Then I consider your input and work on a compromise if I feel as though it stretches beyond what I would consider "good taste". Like when someone wants me to paint my calipers a random color. That's totally not my style, but I do agree that the calipers need to be addressed, which they will be eventually. I'm trying to work out how to get rid of the silver in the interior while not making the interior look like a cave by replacing everything with the flat black pieces. Even painted a gloss black seems like it would be a bit much. I've considered at least wrapping the center dash in red/black carbon fiber or just getting black carbon fiber wrap (or 2015 replacements) to just break it up a little. (Black pieces made it dark) New calipers, exhaust, coil overs, more leather inside (replace seat Alcantara and wrap center console), sub/amp, new 200mm HU, then I'll be "happy". haha

You should put your manual in Sport, it decreases the space between ratios making them even shorter!

I'm not sure where you're at, but I'm going to assume Fairbanks? I plan on making a visit up there sometime before I leave since I haven't taken the BRZ up there yet. I've only been as far as Tok, then east to Canada. I might make a run up there late September.

I applaud fact there is any kind of car scene up there. Been to Alaska a few times as well it's close and pretty much mirrors where I live now only your winters are so much longer I can't imagine lol.
Kudos for just keep on keeping on as Joe Dirt said.

Epic build so far, and even more epic photos! Love the macro shot the most.

I wish the car scene was bigger up here for FT-86, plus more organized, but oh well. Pretty scene I'll be down there and part of the scene in other places. Quote:
I've been thinking that my next mod should be paying my guys to fix the wiring in my car. I'm gonna get the genuine Subaru footwell illumination kit. I don't think my LED mirrors are working and my dome light hasn't come when approaching or unlocking the door for maybe 6 months or more. I've just been too busy to worry about all the wiring, but now I'm thinking I want it all cleaned up. I'm also heavily considering yellow HID fog lights from Diode Dynamics. Thank you! I appreciate your contribution to it! Gonna have a buddy paint some of the pieces you sent me. It should look pretty good!

So I totally forgot I had a video of my buddy hooning my BRZ on stock WRX wheels and tires shortly after I bought the car. Good times!
