Hey everyone, been lurking on the site forever for useful info on maintenance/upgrades but finally diving in and becoming a member. As my first post I thought I'd share my 86 build which is nothing special (except to me). Very casual changes made to the car, no power adders or anything like that. I use the car as my daily and intend to do so for as long as I can keep her up. I've owned my BRZ Limited since August of 2012 so I've run into my fair share of first year problems, some of which I'm still sorting out. Regardless, I love the car and am very happy with her. Current mods on the car are:
Technical: Whiteline Positive Shift Kit Mtech Shift Springs Clutch helper spring delete Berk Muffler Delete Zeta Intake Tube B01C firmware flash (from tactrix) 08 WRX Sway Bar Velox Cam Plate Radium Brake Master Cylinder Brace Consummables: HKS Drop-In Air Filter Sumitomo HTR-Z III Tires Motul Gear 300 in tranny Amsoil in diff Aesthetic: MT Fathead Shift Knob Perrin Drift Turn Knob Yellow fog light vinyl wrap Yellow LED fog light bulbs Shorty eBay antenna OEM wheels dipped B2 Wheel Spacers (20/25) Subaru valve stem caps Custom HU splash screen JDM black interior trim pieces I'll start with day one and carry forward with the story through pictures I've taken over the last five years.

This day was her first tire rotation. I was extremely nervous the first time jacking her up and probably spent about 5X as long as was necessary to ensure the jack stands were perfectly positioned before letting her down gently. Very nerve wracking day but built up the skill and confidence to get her up in the air.

Sound Generator Delete
One of my first "mods", I followed another member's tutorial and used some Home Depot/Lowe's hardware to rid myself of the growly tube.

Sidemarkers
Replaced the ugly stock sidemarkers with smoked led ones and used a liberal amount of RTV in an attempt to keep them from getting water logged. I don't live in an area where it rains a ton but I've yet to have a single issue with moisture

Radar Detector
I bought a chintzy Cobra radar detector and you know what? It does actually do something! Lol. It's no Escort but I'd definitely recommend them to anyone who wants a little extra situational awareness and doesn't have the $ to drop on a quality unit yet.

Subaru Club
For about a semester there we had a little Subie club that would park in the farthest spaces of the farthest lot. Good times.
