Definitely a bummer dude, but onto new projects! I'd be lying if I said your car wasn't an inspiration to buy a BRZ myself.

I may be interested in the STI mounts and Whiteline inserts. I'll send you a PM.

Cheers!

What is the reason for the sale? Are you moving on to a Cayman?
Thanks! It's been a really good car. I'm just looking for a new project. I wish I could get a Cayman, but not having a garage at our place kind of put a wrench in that plan. I'll probably stick with less expensive cars for a while. Maybe something with a more fun engine though? Who knows.

Nice to hear that! It pains me to sell but there are so many cars to try in one lifetime. I'll always respect this platform. Thanks for you interest in the chassis bits—replied to your PM.

You're getting a 2022 BRZ aren't you?

Good luck in the future, you had a great build.

I was going to say the same. So many times I would see him at the track and look at how clean his car is and think, "my car looks like shit." lol

I'm as curious as anyone with what he will turn up with

I'm appreciative of mistoples contributions here. One thing I gleaned from his experience is to leave it na and accept it for what it is.

I'll be listing the following if anyone wants to call dibs before I get around to it. Just PM me.

- CSG ceramic coated (inside and out) ACE A350 header
- Jackson Racing NA oil cooler
- Perrin catback (looking for a stocker if anyone wants to trade + cash)
- Perrin steering rack lockdowns
- STi engine mounts (new in box)
- Whiteline diff inserts (new in box)
- Whiteline subframe inserts (new in box)
Just read through the whole build. Definitely a lot to learn from it.

If only I hadn't just bought a house I'd be inquiring about a few of those items; especially the Perrin exhaust and Jackson Oil cooler (but also the engine mounts). Sadly I have no real disposable cash right now and the conversion rate currently sucks as well.

Short of a financial difficulty which you don't seem to have, don't sell the car unless you are going for a Cayman or Lotus. There is still so much more you can do with your BRZ. You can rebuild the car with a turbo this time which can be a whole new experience for you. There is nothing like this car out there.
