Here's a behind-the-scenes, or should we say behind-the-fender , peek of our 2014 BRZ Limited we are currently building

Here's what our Grab shift knob looks like inside our BRZ.

Yeah ha, I agree. It is still very early in the build so more interesting content will come as the ball gets rolling!

We drove the BRZ at the Wednesday night drifts at Sonoma Raceway for the first time!

We had the vehicle in completely stock form so we could get a baseline feel for how the vehicle behaves.

We will be making adjustments and modifications incrementally and documenting results each time so we can see exactly how each change affects the vehicle.

About to take the car off the alignment rack after making sure the vehicle was at factory specs.

A few photos before driving down to the track

and Go-Pro footage from on the vehicle.

The vehicle behaved very well! Our driver said the car transitioned very smoothly and predictably from left to right/right to left while in a drift.

We had the front tires at 35 psi and the rears at 45 psi.

Are you going to be making some sort of brace that goes in behind the fender, like the GD STi's had?

We are looking into it, but are still devising a way to properly measure torsional rigidity.

GT SPEC makes some nice braces for that area

We are still in development but are getting close to production and will be making an announcement regarding it in the next month or two.

Our first Stage 1 development kit is currently accumulating a large amount of miles while we gather real-world data for how it performs.

We are simultaneously making very good progress on installing our second Stage 1 development kit.

Here is a peek at an uppipe CAD model.
