I think I like black because you have to do a few takes to really appreciate how the car looks. The imagination is a powerful tool. I think once people have made the investment to actually study the lines and contour of the car, they're hooked. With more revealing colors people rest on their assumptions of how they think the car look initially. That's my theory on it. |

It'll be cool if even the Porsche drivers (who arguably have the much better performing cars, hands down) think the twins are a force to be reckoned with when handled correctly. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Glad you brought that up. It is high performance driving, not racing. I have personally witnessed the dangerous nature of the RS-3 in the wet, and I would never run them on my daily driven car.

I haven't been driving the BRZ too often since the week of Christmas. Got a new daily. 2013 VW Tiguan S with a pano sunroof and leather wrapped wheel. I had an APR stage 1 tuned 2011 Tiguan before my BRZ. It was good fun lighting up the 215's up front with 250hp and 300lb/ft but I traded it in because sports car. I'm glad to have another Tig because I love the 2.0T and it's a great car to scoot around town and run errands with. Nice midrange torque even at stock boost levels where I plan on keeping this one.
It blew me away the other day when my girlfriend and I fit two full size dressers, a king size bed frame, a 6 foot mirror, and a big comfy office chair in it and the hatch even closed snug! Everything was from Ikea, of course, so hat tip to those crazy Swedes for being ridiculously efficient In the meantime the BRZ is getting some new consumables including new rotors, Project Mu Club Racer pads, and a Motive Power Bleeder with the adapter for our fluid reservoir. More goodies on the way as this season's track prep continues! Last edited by ATL BRZ; 01-16-2014 at 04:43 PM. |

She's willing but it's much easier and less time consuming to power bleed solo.
I also don't fully trust speed bleeders though failures are very rare, they do occur... Last edited by ATL BRZ; 01-17-2014 at 05:24 PM. |

I don't fully trust power bleeders. I still prefer the ole two person, and I have never used speed bleeders. I normally have one of my buddies or my Mom come over to pump the brakes when I am doing my pre-race prep on the SpecE30, haha.

We use those motive pumps plenty...the trick is to not bother with filling the bleeder container; just use it to pressurize the reservoir. It is easier to fill up the reservoir a bit more often rather than having to clean the motive container!

I'm thinking of picking up a set of HC+ 800 pads (and fluid) before April and my trip to the Dragon.
Let me know what you think of the club racers! What made you go with centric rotors? |

Centrics are $100 a pair and have a coated finish to prevent corrosion. Don't care for slotted or drilled. I prefer blanks since they offer the most surface area for pad contact. |
