Essentially a dealership in Japan. Buying isn’t the issue it’s having it shipped in because the airbag is considered an explosive device. I don’t think the restriction exists via sea so if you can find an importer or a connection that can put it on a container that can work. I got mine through a friend who was in Japan. He bought the part and removed the actual bag canister and had it discarded there so it no was no longer considered dangerous (you can swap your airbag canister right in). After that he was able to simply pack it in his bag on his flight back.

Been a subscriber to the thread for a long time. I just got rid of my FK8 Type R and was wondering if you had to make a choice between the two which one you would go with between the M2 and BRZ. I still have an IS300 and RX7 in my garage but contemplated maybe getting an M2 or BRZ for a fresh start. For reference though, I traded in my CTR for a Tesla so pure speed wouldn't be a huge factor for me. I still enjoy my inline six and boxer engine notes though. I miss my S2K and RS4 engine notes but you can't keep them all.

DSOmegaX STi BRZ tS Completed Build

I’ve been away from this board due to focus on new house and the bmw so I apologize for updates.



The BRZ recently passed 85000 miles!

Hey man, hope the new car is treating you well. Glad to see you still have your tS! Quick question, I happened upon the STI muffler and was wondering if the stock hangers work for it? The STI site specifically calls out muffler cushions and from what I can tell they are the same as stock. Link below for reference. Thanks for help! Hope to see you around this show season.

Yeah I just reused my stock hangers with no issue so you should be good

Feeler For Sale

Hey everyone,

So the time may have come. I'm putting out a feeler for anyone who may be interested in purchasing the car off me. Please DM me if you or you know someone who would like it. I don't have any intention of parting this vehicle out so please do not ask.

It's definitely been a fun ride and I've loved every moment with this car, but after 6+ years, I do want to move along and as much as it pains me to let this car go, there's just no way I'd be selling the M2 instead.

Thank you!

Too bad that you are selling the BRZ. Hope to go in good hands with the new owner.


Maybe an idea how to improve the handling of your other car ...

Fond Farewell

Well the time has come everyone. As of this past weekend, the car has been officially transferred to its new owner. The car was sold as-is and will continue to be well taken over going forward. It's definitely a bittersweet ending and I want to say that its been great to see the community be as strong as ever. It's been humbling being a source of motivation and inspiration to other's build and want to thank everyone for giving me their advice and recommendations over the year.

So what's next? Keeping it under wraps for the time being, although partly because I haven't really committed to any concrete plans. The focus for me will of course be the M2C, but I definitely have some ideas of what cars I'd be interested in to replace the BRZ. It'll be a couple months though before I decide to pull any triggers so for now, it'll be back down to one car. The M2C build thread will remain linked for those interested in following that. As always, my instagram link remains in my signature so please give me a follow if you're interested in what I'm up to with my car(s). Thanks again everyone!

Does the new owner of the car have an Instagram? I'm curious to see in what direction he takes the vehicle from here on out.
