What did you do to your 2nd gen BRZ today?

[DocWalt]

Got up to two things today! Received my new wheels, 17x9 ET45 Enkei TS-V in Storm Gray. I'm really excited to see them on the car properly especially with my incoming coilovers from Shaftworks USA!








I also installed extended front studs, linking that post and info here:

Hockey pucks work in a pinch too lol #IAMCANADIAN

Installed my front license plate today using the JDM to US adapter from Amazon.

Same here - cheap at Canadian Tire, and last for quite a few uses.
Don't go for any other densities other than standard though. I tried some denser hockey pucks and they were too brittle, especially at -20C.

Late post-breakin oil change @ 1683 miles



Second-guessed myself a few times reading the classic subaru dipstick, but 5 quarts ~6 ounces seems to do it when using an extractor and changing the filter.


Please ignore the xpel tracwrap as I'm waiting for PPF.

Excellent.
Hope you changed the oil filter too as any metal shavings from new will be caught by it. What oil brand did you use?

It'd be nice to see if someone could come up with a set of jacking rails this car (and any car, really). Really popular mod on S550 Mustangs. It's a reinforced bar that bolts under the car just inside of the pinch weld - allows you to place the jack anywhere you'd like on the side of the car, including the center, and raise it without damaging any pinch welds. Was really nice to jack from the center, lift the whole side of the car evenly, then place both the front and rear stands at once. Saved me some time swapping wheels at the track or autox.

For track changes why not just use the front/back jack points (frame / diff) and do the fronts / rears at the same time?

Unless you need the whole car in the air for some underbody work it's much faster that way. That's how I do my brake pad changes for the track.

Don't have my BRZ yet so didn't know it had those jacking points. Past few cars I've had have lacked front/rear points, or were so low that you couldn't get to them, so I've become accustomed to only having the pinch welds as a viable option.

You'll need a low profile jack for the front/rear points but other than that they're super convenient.

What did you use to get 5V from the headliner wiring?

I didn't. Power is routed from the glove box, up the side pillar, through the headliner, and routed through the same cable guide for the home-link mirror.

I have a power kit to wire in both constant power/ignition switch for parking mode which I'll get around to at some point.

I need to buy one of these someday. Looking like a solid install.
