My 2015 "JDM BRZ STI" build
Hey guys!
This is definitely my first major post on any type of forum. So I would like to start out by introducing myself. I'm about to be 24 this month and currently reside in Lexington KY as a getaway from the constant rush that NJ was. I purchased this BRZ last year in 2018 from a dealer. It is a 2015 Limited 6 speed with now 30k miles on it and extended gold plus warranty (LOL). Anyway I will be backtracking a lot as a bunch of stuff was done to this car so I will try to keep them chronologically ordered. My main goal was to build a "JDM BRZ STI" where I would be using STI parts and replicating the JDM BRZ STI Sport to a certain point. (Seats are like 5k so that's out of the picture for now) Here is my current mods list Engine Suspension Exterior Interior Here is a picture when I first got it ! Here will be some picture of it now; Last edited by JDMBRZ; 04-14-2020 at 10:17 AM. |

Things that happen right after I got the car
All these things happened between 19k to 30k miles which is what the car is at now Issue number 1 Transmission, TOB, Clutch and Flywheel were replaced under warranty due to the car rolling in neutral a few feet forward Issue number 2 Window regulators and glass were replaced due to them being scratched from improper spacing on the roller of the regulator Issue number 3 High pressure pump chirping like usual on our cars but this one sounded awful. Brought it to a dealer and it was replaced under warranty. Issue number 4 Clunking while turning, ended up being the EPS steering bushing. whole EPS steering column was replaced. Issue number 5 Water in the trunk. Seam welds split (WTF!??!!?!?) in the trunk. Dealership resealed them and now no more water ! and I think that was it but I honestly can't remember. |

So here we go, as I said I will have to back track a little as the current state of the car is different.
Here we have the STI lip kit installed along with some Konig Rennform wheels 18x8 SHOWA shocks and STI springs from Japan STI fender garnishes |

And now we move on to some power mods !!!!
My STI axle back came from Japan JDL turbo install along with the ACT clutch And the Valenti 5th brake light installed along with the STI gurney flap and TOM's JDM red taillights BONUS PIC Here is the BRZ next to my STI. I miss the STI a lot... ended up selling it for a huge profit and not having an actual practical car was a pain... |

Nice selection of mods, the OEM+ look is always great. I imagine the turbo plus STi axleback is a good sound without being too loud... any chance you could take some videos?
I love the blob-eye STi! That would be a fun combo. |

Here are some parts that I installed not too long ago;
JDM underbody aero panels. For the price and simplicity of installing I think everyone should grab a set. STI Door Sills STI Door handle guards My favorite part, the JDM frameless mirror STI Push to start STI Front badge STI Radiator cap |
