We got pretty high expectations, good luck

This is a personal car, not a R&D car, but... sometimes R&D just happens.

Exactly why expectations are high

Can't wait to see this build in person!

I hate this thread already. Just take my fucking money.

Oh great, now Mike will be one of THOSE guys.
"Do these wheels look good? What size should I get?"
"I want my exhaust loud but not to attract attention what do you guys recommend"
"Will these calipers just bolt on?"
"Should I get coil overs or just lowering springs?"
"Where should I put my stickers?"

Them fighting words! Jk

This may have happened.

Just temporary, but I was curious. It's a one-off Titanium catback engineering sample for what could have been a CSG Titanium catback exhaust.

It's good for about 21 lbs of weight reduction from a stock catback, without compromising aero. It's insanely loud without cats, but for now, it's okay.

Looks similar to the MXP SP one I picked up from CSG recently

brzaapi · 10-12-2016, 12:59 PM

A quick question about the '17 Mike. With the suspension revisions, mainly the use of a thicker rear sway bar, do you still believe that on a stock BRZ/FRS that an aftermarket sway will still be beneficial for the cars rotation.

I know you were an advocate for a thicker rear sway on stock '13 - '16 models to help us track guys dial out the understeer and get a little more rotation in the turns.

I know this may take some time to sort out while you are breaking the car in......but share when you can.

funwheeldrive · 10-12-2016, 02:22 PM

This will be great to watch. Have you ever owned an BRZ/86 in the past Mike, or is this your first one?

JazzleSAURUS · 10-12-2016, 03:01 PM

Looks like the MXP SP I got from CSG...

Very excited to see how this goes. Something something ACE, something something AP sprint....

Congratulations. Have fun with your car.
