Want to get rid of the mushy brake pedal? Buy and install a master cylinder brace.

I had an auto shop owner (he drives BMW M cars) comment on how nice my BRZ's brakes felt - I have the Motive Autowerks brace (got it in part of a group buy from Turn In Concepts for their solid steering rack bushings which I have yet to install).

Ugggh why do you post pictures of your car in flawless condition. I'm reminded how much I need to do a polish and wax on my car now lol. Car is looking great!

Thanks,
Rick

If I can suggest one thing...

Buy a master cylinder brace and install it immediately. Drive around with only that one mod done to your brakes. You will be amazed.

Painted my muffler today, gave myself an excuse to try out my nameless muffler delete too:




I painted it mostly to prevent rust, but also to match the rear bumper a bit better.




Surprisingly, the stock exhaust gasket was in pretty poor shape!!!

Replaced the scratched (from the factory) center console and added a JDM base model shifter knob and black shifter surround:

That looks sooo good!

I need black interior for mine in a bad way.

Thanks,

Wouldn't yellow make more sense with a blue Subaru? :p
