Sportsguy's LS2 Swapped BRZ
I really never bothered with making one of this threads, but since then I have gotten a few goodies on my car worth sharing with you guys.
I was on the market to get a new car. I had searched around and hadn't found anything of real interest. A friend told me about the new Subaru coming soon. I researched it and was SOLD! Put my order on March 11th, got my car June 12th, 2012. Was so excited when the day finally arrived. The car handled like a dream, everything about it was on point. After 8 months, I can definitely say it is a dream come true! I initially thought I was going to keep the car stock (looking back, who was I kidding??? What a joke!). Next I planned on getting an intake, exhaust, tune and call it a day. While doing research, the price per HP I was going to be able to accomplish with these mods did not make sense. I really wanted more power, but was not willing to spend that much (about 3K) for a "marginal" gain. (bought and sold AVO kit due to some quality concerns) Ran the KAB customs turbo kit for a few years with zero issues, now onto swapping the LS! More to come...... Current status of car: July 2018: Stating up the LS: [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4ip8sxnlFs[/ame] January 2018: December 2016: The car is getting an LS2 Swap!! KAB customs turbo kit is in.

Special Thanks: @Jason@Nameless for time and time again coming through, making awesome badass parts, and having patience with me!! @JoeBoxer for allowing me to order parts out of the blue and get them here in time @Pure Automotive for also getting me parts in impossible time frames! @jazztennor @raul @C4rlosRuben for taking time off of theirs to come help me out!! @King Tut who I have bothered with a lot of questions and is always a ring away to answer all of them, a true example of what this community should be about. @KAB-FRS for the stupidly incredible turbo kit! @jamesm for teaching me what tuning means and keep working with me with ZERO vested interest, just because he is a good guy that LOVES to help and enjoys tuning. @alpine @marcoaferrer @Poros0304 for shaping up what great local meets are, ever since we got together for a meet, its been great time after great time together and sharing car moments together too. @ATL BRZ for being my polar opposite car build wise, but appreciating it regardless. Old AVO Dyno Plot: 300 WHP / 240 WTQ! FINISHED new kit tune @20 PSI 460 WHP 393 WTQ In Dynjoet speak, around 550 whp, 470 wtq Latest: Map3 17 psi (calculation from mustang was 416 WHP +20%= 499 whp Dynojet).... Well Rev Works Dyno IS as heartbreaker as advertised. I made 496 WHP on that map we had calculated 499.... Dat tune doe... so SMOOTH! @jamesm The Wizard hard at work. @KAB-FRS on the hardware See below. Update 4/27/15 Hopped on the Dyno yesterday, made 533 WHP. Temp. reading was 104F. Numbers are right in line with what I made a year and a half ago, so still running that James Martin solid tune and great Kabcustoms Sunrise turbo kit. On a cool night (75F) I made on Map3 496 WHP and on Map4 552 WHP. Yesterday on this weather I made 469 WHP on Map3 and on Map4 533 WHP. Not bad! For reference a BRZ with intake and exhaust dynoed right before me and made 145 whp [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GBp-WoATbo"]BRZ Turbo 533 WHP Dyno Run - YouTube[/ame]

The day I picked up the car!
Soon after ownership, met the first FRS/BRZ on the road. Co-worker and now friend @F3dzo Initially thought I was not getting an exhaust (again who was I kidding???) and so I bought the JDM Tips. Car sitting at work, as far away as possible from door dings Got my Subaru badge of ownership! Got the Chrome Fender Trim as a gift from my Salesman. Most hate it, I like it. Started the armrest business with @schroeder69 Got one of those Shark Finns I said I would never get.... Third Brake Light, looks very nice. WC Lathewerks Stainless Steel shift knob, just awesome!

I think those are the most UEL headers I've seen on this site yet. I'm really interested to hear what kind of sound they make. Post a vid when you get the chance!

You were holding out on me, haha. Man I want to see the AVO kit in person. How is the reception with that Shark Finn? My Perrin shorty really hurt reception.

I have had the Visual Graphics and Beat Sonic Sharkfinn. I can tell you without a doubt, with the Visual Graphics the reception is almost the same as stock. With the Beatsonic (the one I have now) the reception does suffer. I still get the same stations I used to, but some of them don't connect to HD anymore.
