Lol I don't mess around when i comes to BRZ headlights! They will definitely complete the look I am going for! I would buy some outright, but they are kinda low on my list of things that i need right now. Bonus money is in the bank right now so I'm getting ready to purchase some brakes Seems like a prudent upgrade seeing as my car now hits 100+ mph pretty easy. Also I forgot to mention that my dyno pulls were in 4th gear, which redlines at 8500rpm which equals 127mph, pretty nuts.

I have to give you props on the build! Doing the breaks is something I hope to get during the summer when I'm off. And as soon as I get my Turbo Z back on the road lets do a race lol New school modern turbo vs. 30+ year old old school Japanese muscle.

I recently deleted the resonator on the front of the air box. It changed the tone of my intake a little and smoothed out my shifting and RPMs even further! The motor is breathing much better now.
My injen really smoothed mine out I would suggest it to anyone else looking for an intake. It was a little more than the rest but really does a good job.

I was considering either the GReddy or the Injen. Injen looks like a beast and creates a nice swoosh sound! I am pretty happy with my modified stock intake though.

Yeah at times I look at the number I spent and wish I would have tried a modified or just a pipe and a k and n filter. But every time I drive my buddies full stock one I'm glad I bought it. As always you're more than welcome to drive mine and see how you like it.

I've heard about that Z the last time we talked and I'm pretty excited to see it once you pull it out of the garage.

You should get one of those dash cams. There is a thread about them. They record even when the car is off. If a bump or sound is detected it will save the video. One guy caught the person who hit him while parked. It was pretty cool. Having video really helps with insurance claims too. In my first one because of the security footage the other party didnt blink but just paid me.

Cool. I'd like to test yours out. The video I saw of the Injen sounded awesome! I'm curious to see how mine compares.
