Great Build! What are you using to wrap the boots?

DEI Cool Tape, radiant heat resistance 2000 degrees F.

Great, thank you!

Installed a GSpeed bolt-in roll bar, it does fit gen 2 perfectly.

The only disadvantage is that you lose some rear-view mirror visibility as the top of the hoop blocks the view, that's the tradeoff if you want to have a bar and keep the headliner.

The roll bar will be paired with OMP HTE-R 400 seats on PCI seat rails and Schroth 6-point harnesses. To have the driver seat centered on the steering wheel, you need to mount the side mounts closest to the transmission tunnel (same on the passenger side). Do not get the optional sub-strap mount, the opening is so tight you cannot feed the harness through it, I will be doing with eye bolts.

Still need to figure out how to trim the quarter panel plastic pieces so I can have a full interior in the back.

Mounting the sub-strap eye bolts on the driver side. There is no good place to drill because there is shit in the way right when you want to drill holes (hard lines and frame rail). If you drill in an oblong opening on the frame rail, you cannot fit a proper backing plate in there, can only use a washer, which is a big no-no for me. In any case, any way you drill, the sub-strap mounting points will most likely not be centered on the seat. I chose to cut slits in the frame rail so I can slide the backing plates in.

Now waiting for the touch up paint to dry.

Moved one of the sub-strap bolts toward the transmission tunnel, much better now. Mocked up the seat and the harness, will finalize sometime next week when my schedule allows.

Have you removed the active sound speaker and control unit? Just wondering if you knew the weight.

No, active sound system was disabled by the dealer and I unplugged the speaker in the instrument cluster.

Dropped off the BRZ at the Atlanta Speed Company to have the Tomei oil baffle installed. Here's a picture of the oil pickup, good Lord!

Chuckls · 09-30-2022, 07:21 PM

I bought my wheels from ASC.

Code Monkey · 10-05-2022, 01:13 PM

Got the car back, you can just see the baffle sandwiched between the block and the oil pan.

Switched to Motul 5W-40 300V and also got the transmission fluid changed with Red Line 75W90.

Got the header studs out and switched to bolts so any future header removal should not involve loosening the overpipe on the other side.

WOW, that's Scary.. How many Miles?

Code Monkey · 10-05-2022, 03:53 PM

3,603 miles, 6 hpde weekends.

Got a baggie with RTV pieces, they are so tiny!

Going back to the OEM 4.1 rear diff, with 4.3 gears I am running out of 4th or 5th in the most inconvenient places at Road Atlanta and Barber.
