Back at it again...
Hey guys, it's been a long time since I have been on here, and technically I had 13 FR-S at the time so I am new to this part of the thread.
Anyways just picked up a 18 BRZ tS and it is definitely a joy to drive. Need to add a super charger here in the future but other than that it's a great car.

New 17 BRZ Limited 6mt + performance package here. Looking forward to learning more about the car. Came from mostly muscle cars and trucks but drove the BRZ and fell in love.

Picked up my 2018 BRZ RS 10 days ago!!!
So, drove about 500km so far... wow, VERY nice handling car... a little loud, but that's the point of this car, no? Coming from a ''family sedan'', it was to be expected... Been wanting this car since 2015 and now I HAVE IT!!!
Getting used to the little ''quirks'' on this car, just like every car I've owned... will take a few more weeks to get comfortable driving it... Cheers!!! |

Old man and the BRZ...
NE Ohio owner of a new 2017 BRZ PP in black. I am an old member for this group...yep, over 50! But a long time "real" car fan and got hooked when I saw this at the Cleveland Auto show. My youngest son had been pushing me to look at these for a couple years. But none of the local dealers ever had one. I appreciated the simple design, perfect drivers fit, and lack of unneeded frills. It's may sound stupid, but when I got in the car in and saw simple manual adjust seats I was sold. Less weight and will never break down. I am a longtime fan of old cars. My bet is that this one will end up being a classic. So take care of your cars!
I have done little so far. I have tinted windows and lights. I put on an STI clone front lip. I also replaced all the front speakers – the Infinities made a huge difference even without new HU or amp. If I get around to it, I'll post a little info about that one. I am currently building a welded steel lockable center console--yes, it will be covered in matching leather. My likely first real change will be some RCE yellow springs. I may upgrade the sway bars depending on how those feel. I bought this car with the plan of adding a supercharger and am waiting for Jackson Racing to come out with the model that fits the 2017 and above BRZ. Way in the future may be full exhaust and E85. Certainly, rims and tires will be part of the supercharger upgrade. Luckily, I've gotten to that point in life where I could afford a significantly more expensive vehicle. But this one put a much bigger smile on my face. It has phenomenal balance and we can have lots of fun modifying it without breaking the bank. Hell, it's almost responsible fun! ...and my kids have named it "Zed" |

I've had my 50th AE for about 2 weeks now. This is my first responsibly owned RWD car (irresponsibly had an 85 Camaro in college but didn't take good care of it). It is so hard to hold back during the break-in period, but I love it even without being able to wring all the power out of it. I'll be headed to New England soon, and trying to get involved with some Autocross to learn how to drive it better and hopefully get access to some good tracks in the process. The color originally put me off (my commuter is a gray metallic Impreza), but I sucked it up since BRZ's in general were hard to find in my area and it has really grown on me. I like that the lighting brings out different colors depending on conditions.

Just picked up my 2018 BRZ Sport-tech RS (Canadian model, from what I can tell it's very similar to Limited + Performance Package) in dark gray last week and absolutely loving it.
Haven't done much yet, just debaged her. Going in for window tint tomorrow though! Needs some more noise, already looking at catbacks and headers... |

Hello all!
within the next 2 weeks I'm looking to get into a 86. Most likely I'll end up in a 2017/18 brz with performance package. Here's pics of my old rides, an s2000 with bolt ons, cusco cage, and chassis mount splitter. Easily the best handling car I've ever driven after those mods. Then I moved into a nismo 370z 2 years ago but unfortunately was totaled out after being rear ended 2 months ago. I was very disappointed with the ride quality and handling of the Z, but suspension mods did help. |

Just picked up a white 2013 BRZ! It’s technically the wife’s weekend car but figured I would join anyways.

The wife wanted a BRZ?! I can see why you married her.
