My journey to brz

Hi everyone, I figured it's about time to start the journey for my brz but before we get to the brz here's a quick recap of my prior cars. I'm mostly into performance mods, I needed her to perform on track during summer months with local HPDE events.

initially started out with a bmw e36



Got hooked on track and light weight rwd fun and caved on a miata.




Landed a deal on a 05 sti that i could not pass up. Eventually upgrades clutch, flywheel, fuel system-went to e85. eventually it become too much to enjoy on the street. I couldn't risk getting on it for "fun factor" and soon missed my lightweight rwd car.








Somewhere down the road while i owned the STI i came across a 2000 rs2.5 and i had a 04wrx engine laying around, one thing lead to another and boredom got the better of me....







decided to move from 2 cars to one car and sold the sti and the gc8 and got a 2013 swp limited brz





Here's a summary of mods thus far:
  • Project MU pads
  • Stainless Steel brake lines
  • Motul 600 brake fluid
  • GrimmSpeed Master cylinder brace
  • GrimmSpeed Upper strut bar
  • Stance Coilovers (yes yes, budget buy, but i love them. they ride good)
  • Crawford AOS
  • Perrin Oil Cooler
  • OFT stg1
  • Drag dr31's 17x9 38mm
  • Hankook rs3's 245/40/17's recycled from the sti.
  • Invidia N1 CBE
  • Rexpeed Wide Mirrors - Heated
  • Perrin shorty antenna
  • Motul 300 gear fluid Trans and Diff
  • HKS Intake Duct
  • K&N Drop in filter
  • OEM Mud guards
  • Weather tech floor mats
  • GReaddy Magentic oil drain plug

Very cool. Good looking build and still looks near stock from the outside.
