Will300's Subaru BRZ Build (UK)
January 2020: New Year Plans
Happy New Year everyone. Welcome to my updated build thread. Here's a quick run down of my plans for 2020: 1. Order a new set of wheels, ideally forged. 2. Order a set of track brake pads. 3. Go on a European Roadtrip. 4. Do atleast 1 European trackday. 5. Get the car detailed (resealed). Possible Options: 1. Order Harrop Supercharger. 1a. New clutch. 2. Rear Wing or spoiler. 3. Look into buying a bucket seat. More to be revealed in the coming months. April 2016: Introduction: Hello everyone, I've decided it's about time I did a proper build thread for my 2nd Subaru BRZ as thing are now starting to get more interesting. My plan is to build a fast road car with some track focused additions. The car is my daily vehicle so I'm not planning to strip it out and turn it into a track monster. Just something that is easily to live with during the week but gets thrashed at the weekend.

Yes, green is stock with a panel filter and purple is ACE CS400, cat back exhaust & Ecutek tune. The mapping was done on the road, not on a dyno.

I actually got them through Tegiwa Imports, although when I ordered them Tegiwa were doing a 10% off weekend. The price (ignoring the discount) has gone up since I ordered them.

As its now 2017 its time for an update on my build, but first I'm going to start off by wishing everyone a Happy New Year.
Anyway back to the car, I'd originally planned to go supercharged at the end of last year, however due to a supply issue I cancelled this after a couple of months. I then spent a couple of day thinking about what to do instead of the supercharger, I decided to stay N/A and purchase some more modifications. First on the list was a big brake kit as I've always felt the brakes on the car were lacking some stopping power. This provided a substantial challenge in deciding what kit to go for, after spending considerable time looking at the various options available I came to the conclusion that none of the existing setups matched my exact needs. After discussing this with a fellow owner he suggested I contact a company who specialise in custom big brake kits. Over the following week I exchanged several emails with them and we came up with a kit which meet my needs. The custom kit I ended up with consists of red AP Racing CP9200 calipers, AP Racing 330x28mm discs with custom hats, brackets and Ferodo DS2500 pads. Here are some photo's of the kit: Fitted to the car: I also decided to upgrade the rear disc's to match the grooved fronts, so I selected Stoptech grooved rear discs. I still need to bed the brakes in, but they feel much better already. (Once I'm back on summer tyres that will help the bed in process massively) The next mod I purchased was a Perrin 3" Cold Air Intake system with silicone intake tube. I also purchased MTEC shift and clutch springs. In my opinion the shift springs are fantastic, a definite must for our cars. However I don't really like the change in feel of the clutch spring. The final mods I ordered were a HKS resonated decat pipe and Powerflex front and rear subframe bushes. I decided against fitting the decat pipe due to the extra noise it'd produce. Finally due to the change in intake I needed to get the car remapped again, this time I decided to get the car dyno mapped, rather than road mapped like before. Here is the before and after dyno graph: As you can see my tuner managed to smooth out the mid range and get a little bit more power up at the top end. The ACE CS400 is definitely a brilliant manifold for a daily driver, however I'd rather have a 350 but due to being RHD this is impossible.

Thank you.

Thanks, I'm still not 100% sure on the stripes myself. They'll stay until I book the car in to be detailed again. Here are some pictures from the track day:
