MotoX16's BRZ Build





Here is my build. I had been shopping around the area for a wrx actually, thinking awd in the winters would be the smart thing to do. But once I sat in a brz I was hooked. It just fit like a glove. I found a great deal on this 2017 BRZ Performance Package, and made the 12hr round trip down to Omaha to pick it up in January of 2019. It had 14k miles on it and was essentially all stock.

The car is now at a point I am extremely happy with, and I don't see many other mods coming in the future (at least that's what I keep telling myself). Its been a fun year tearing this car apart, but now I think I'm just going to enjoy what I've created. I absolutely love this car, and even more so the community. I hope every single one of you finds as much joy with your builds as I have with mine.

Some pictures from the install. Have since switched to an HRI tune so dyno numbers are not up to date

Yep running a stock block. The only "internal" mod would be the oil pickup tube.

A year later and I'm still loving the car

The FX400 isnt my favorite clutch but I can deal with it until it wears out. A little overkill for the power I'm pushing, I would like to go to something a little more dailyable in the future.
Overall I'm really happy with the car though, still taking pictures as I walk away
