Dream BRZ Build..Suggestions - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

ClaytonG · 11-15-2022, 10:27 AM

I want a 2016 brz to build good for daily driving but I want a nice sound but not too much so it wakes the entire neighbourhood. Not only that but I want that power to match the sound because what's the point of having a car that sounds good but has no power to match it? I want it for daily driving but I wouldn't mind ripping it around the track. Any suggestions??

Sounds like a great plan for a DD.

Apolllo · 11-15-2022, 11:52 AM

Sounds like you are wanting two completely different things.

500-800HP Track Car != Daily Driver, no matter what you do.

What kind of racing are you planning to do? Have you raced before? Looking at your build sheet, you have little to no suspension upgrades, but a ton of performance upgrades like you plan to just drag race.

As much as you probably don't want to hear it, I would suggest starting out small. Buy the car, take it to the track stock and learn how to drive it, then slowly mod it. No need to go balls to the wall with a fully built turbo right out of the gate.

DarkPira7e · 11-15-2022, 12:25 PM

Don't bother with a built engine or heads, cams. Get the turbo kit, run at 10-12psi and it's going to be great.

dpfarr · 11-15-2022, 12:40 PM

I like my car but your budget is a 20k car w 27k added to it. Not including labor, maybe it’s your own.

You checked out a Supra?

Tcoat · 11-15-2022, 03:01 PM

"500 hp is a good start I don't want anywhere above 800hp" was all I needed to read.

Ask your parents for a Ferrari for your 17th birthday.

alphasaur · 11-15-2022, 05:49 PM

lmao

Grady · 11-15-2022, 08:05 PM

looks like you have a realistic approach. I would budget an additional 20% for the unknown. You can make it reliable but it will take time. Don’t expect to put it together and it be reliable you will have to work out some bugs. One of the issues is you are getting above the transmission capabilities for reliability.

villainous_frx · 11-15-2022, 09:14 PM

Get the car first, focus on a build second imo. I do want to point out that you're missing supporting mods for such a high powered venture; oil cooling, clutch, potentially transmission, to name a few.

This. A used C6 Z06 is right in that price range.

Same.
Anyone remember Nick Hogan???
OP sounds like him.

Falkon240 · 11-16-2022, 10:44 AM

This is exactly where I thought this would go.

that's a lot of money just to run to the gas station for smokes every once in a while.
