Aero'd Out Subaru BRZ Track Build
Ever since I joined the forum, I have been scrolling through the Member's Car Journals looking for new ideas and what modifications I want to do next. With this being said, I'd like to dive into my personal build a little bit and hopefully can offer some ideas for other members.
I purchased my BRZ back in October of 2015. One of my best friends drove me a couple of hours west to Hamilton, Ohio, where Bilstein of America is located. I purchased the car from a Bilstein engineer, so I was lucky enough that the car already had Bilstein B16 coilvers installed. Apart from the coilovers, the car was bone stock. Below is a photo of my first day of ownership. If you know me well enough, you know the car didn't stay stock for long. In the following thread, I will go through everything that has been modified on the car to date. Above is a photo of how the car currently sits. Below is my complete build list along with some photos of said components. Aerodynamics
Engine
Suspension
Wheels, Tires, and Brakes
I'm sure there is something I am forgetting, but that's my build in a nutshell. |

Damn, I'm jealous! Nice build!
Any pics on track? Where do you go? I am just a couple hours from Verus up in Michigan. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

Wow, it looks real good. Big fan of how that wing looks.

It depends on your driving style. I personally liked the rear wing at lower angles of attack and the front setup was generating enough to balance out the V1X rear wing.
Yes, he is still using factory brakes with upgraded pads, fluid, and our brake cooling kit. |
