Just got myself a BRZ a few weeks ago (Lightning Red Premium M/T), and I've been a long time stalker of this forum. I live in Chicagoland area, so as soon as I got my 1K miles I parked her in the garage, and there she will sit for at least another month or so!

I've already ordered round 1 of parts, including springs, wheels and all sorts of other "little" mods. I am coming to the BRZ from a '13 Honda Fit, so all the complaints about the car being a slouch seem crazy to me! Thing feels like a rocketship coming from a Fit!

Hello, Jacob checking in here.

Just purchased my '14 CBS BRZ Limited 4 days ago. Went from my bugeye wrx wagon to this, and the difference is night and day. Still breaking it in, but I know this will be an exciting car to own.

Wanted a hot lava FRS until I saw this beauty and couldn't resist the goodies and color it had :P.

I'm coming from a tuned Sti and my brz feels like a rocket ship primarily because of all the low end torque, how low it is, and the crazy noise you get from the sound tube. All the reviewers who said this car felt like it needed more power can shove it, the car is perfect as is!

Just put a deposit down (and waiting for my cashier's check to arrive) on a 2013 black limited 6MT.

I'm busy searching and bookmarking interesting threads!

New to site

Hey everybody,


Just finally got around to posting this after a failed attempt from my phone. As the title states, I have only been on this forum very recently, but I've had my BRZ since last April. Relatively new to this type of car, but love it none the less. Just finished installing a Takeda Catback (sound is to die for), some RallyArmor mudflaps, and swapped out my side markers and put LEDs in.


Looking forward to posting more!

Had my car for over a year now my current mods are nameless exhaust with high flow cat and overpipe. Got LED's and perrin license plate relocator. And in a month or so I'll be ordering my rims and maybe suspension later on. I still wanna track my car stock before doing anything. I'll be posting pics soon

sup guys? Great forum. I just picked up my Red BRZ Limited manual a few hours ago. I absolutely love it. I'm coming from a Honda background (h22 in a ek) and I'm loving the rear wheel drive. I usually don't like red but after going to 5 dealers and not seeing one I finally made the treck many hours away and saw one and fell in love with it. The pictures just don't do the color justice. Great car. Showed it to some friends. Can't wait to work on it.

Hey fellas -

I'm new to the BRZ, but not to Subaru. This is my fifth Subie. I've been through two WRXs and two Legacy GTs. My last Subaru was a 06 Spec. B that I pushed to nearly 300,000 miles on a stage-2 setup. What can I say, I like to drive. I track my cars, drive them off road and also have a dedicated racecar (300ZX Turbo) I race in Chump.

I live in Dallas, but tend to be all over the place.

-Clif

Hello. I've had my Limited WRB BRZ for about a month. Been trying to hold out for any report of an STI or a tS version ever making it stateside, but the old car was on its last legs so I finally decided to go pick one up.

Greatly pleased with the BRZ, and haven't decided if I want to keep it stock or modify it yet.
