tracked the jrsc brz yesterday, did not crash, did not blow up

Anyone felt zenki 86/BRZ steering is lil too heavy? Or while drifting or counter steering, steering get unknown heavy feel to it? Kouki 86/BRZ have resolved the issue by updating the EPS. Good news is, zenki 86/BRZ owner can do the same thing by replacing the EPS w kouki EPS.

Zenki model should have big “G” on it. Kouki model should have “1”... then why is other one have “3” on it? When I google search that part number it said it’s for ‘18 BRZ STI model. Which I’m assuming it’s for tS model (in US, BRZ tS came as ‘18 model). tS or kouki model EPS price was almost same on eBay (+-$5 difference). So thought to test it out if tS model EPS works on zenki model. Answer that question is, yes, it does work.

Work itself took about 30mins. Only 3 bolts, 2 screws & 1 nut to get it off, so why took 30mins? EPS is in very awkward area (behind trunk release & light adjusting buttons), so had to go through several wires with twisting my arm & hand to get those bolts off. If you careful and take your time, it’s not that hard. No, I’m not planning to make DIY, cuz it’s easy mod.

Test drove after installation and yes, there’s a difference in the steering feel. It’s a lot lighter. I prefer zenki power steering weight, but kouki power steering isn’t bad either.

Here’s a vid (if you understand Japanese)

Installed a Legamax Premium Catback. Sounds so much better with the UEL header than the stock catback did. Very pleased with my purchase!

Picked her up after the valve spring works and had new STI Group N engine and transmission mounts installed. Loving the STI mounts...

Got 2 new Hankook tires for my front STANCE SC-5 wheels and they vibrate a bit at 70mph.
Center bore is 56.1 and the shop I go to has installed many tires on my previous cars.
I even bought some Ohtsu FP7000 tires for my 2017 Corolla and no vibration at all.
This is the 2nd set of tires I buy for the STANCE wheels and there is a minimal vibration.
Wheels are NOT bent and my BRZ has 7,050 miles.
Not sure why the vibrating on these particular wheels. Could it be the size on them?

I swapped wheels/tyres around to try to pin down a source of noise. I am pretty sure it is the Azenis.
