Loving the forum and want to thank everyone for the trove of information available here!
Blue. You won't regret it for wheel choices.

Been wanting one since they came out in 2012. The refresh, a Land Rover than needed to be traded in, and, specifically, the Performance Pack pushed me over the edge.

Bought 7-17-17.

Purchase night at the dealer. Note my old daily driver parked behind the new BRZ. Heritage.



Only other pics I've taken so far. In the hills above the lake where I live.

New BRZ! OK, it's my wife's car, and I'm a little jealous.


We traded in her thrashed '07 Mini Cooper S. We needed a semi practical car to daily, occasionally haul kids, and most importantly - both of us autocross. The BRZ is perfect.


Here it is at it's first race - less than 24-hours after we brought it home. Another FR-S racer brought out his spare wheels and tires for us, but his wheels wouldn't fit with the Brembos. We just ran it on the crappy stock rubber and still had a blast. Coming from FWD, being able to rotate at will was awesome. Both of us are going to need to unlearn FWD and learn RWD.


In grid: I didn't have time to make new numbers.


At home: I still love my GTI, but it's a different kind of car altogether.



Being new to BRZ/FRS/86, I'll have a lot of reading to do here

Hey Guys I have a 2016 BRZ with a 2017 front bumper. I have had the car since November of 2015. I currently live in the Dallas Area in Texas and the car is slowly turning into my track car.
Here is a photo of the side of my car

Been a long time lurker, finally decided to make an account and get involved. I currently own a 2013 BRZ 6mt, I've had the car just over a year. Majority of the car is still stock, besides eibach lowering springs, cat less front pipe, cat back exhaust, silicon intake tube and k&n drop in filter. I'm currently in Afghanistan so no progress is being made besides buying parts left and right. Once I'm home, let the games begin ��

Hey all! Just picked up my BRZ last Friday, and definitely looking forward to chatting, learning, and commiserating with y'all. Been a while since I've done the owner forum thing, but that's like riding a bike or going back to driving a stick after a while, I think?

Hello FT86 folks!

I thought I would keep it in the family and buy one of the BRZ's in the classified section and join the forums at the same time.

More to follow once I take possession this week, but I'm looking forward to the new ride. Been lusting and debating on picking up the FRS or the BRZ, but the creature comforts in the BRZ put me down that path (read: heated seats).
