I would say for the price, its not worth it if you’re keeping the car stock. Get it if you’re planning to do mods. Thats just my opinion tho.

But it did felt nicer after flashing their Stage1 while I’m stock. Adds a bit of oompf to it. Car felt quieter after the tune but that’s just me.

Update:

Finally got to install the inlet tube and the drop in filter! Install was a breeze. Only had a hard time removing the sound generating tube but other than that it’s an awesome install.

I logged my Stock setup + Stage1 OFT tune so that I’ll be able to compare and see what’s changed

Gonna do some pulls and logs later today and make some changes to my tune.

Before:



After:



Also made sure it’s not rubbing with the belt



Also, I just remembered i have an old pair of Hella Horns that came out of my previous car. I’m planning to clean and repaint it then install it on this one...

Current state:


Any ideas what colour i should do?

Update:

Just a quick update. First time driving the car after installing the mod, I noticed a quieter cabin (duh) and I also noticed that the engine sounds deeper compared to stock.

My butt dyno did not log any changes so far. Will really need to update my tune files for this.

Oh man. It's been a while since I last updated this thread but here it is! I finally got new wheels!

Enkei TM7 Staggered
Front: 18x8.5 225 40 R18
Rear: 18x9.5 255 35 R18

I also got some Muteki SR45R + matching Locking Lugs to compliment the new setup

And I'm loving every bit of it!

If you're in Toronto / GTA area, hit up Rota Tires in Mississauga.

Just to catch up on some of the mods I've done, I also got me a Drift button custom made by A Car Guy's Garage (Link to his Website: Here)

Zenon (owner) was pretty good and very helpful with regards to customizing the drift button. Very friendly too.

Got a small tiny mod that adds 10 whp

Update:

I just received my Oil Catch can from the mail and I immediately installed.

I got the ADD W1 Oil Catch Can V3.

Installation was really quick and it came with a mounting bracket which made the installation a lot faster.

So recently I came across a DIY Ceramic Coat for cars. I got curious so I would like to try it out myself

I've been saving up with Ceramicoating my car for a while now but I always think I could spend that much money for another part.

The product I'm using is Avalon King ARMOR SHIELD IX. It's a DIY kit that comes with all of the items you need to Ceramic coat your Car.

I did get a Discount code that's why I tried it out.

If you're interested, go to avalonking.com and use "JEDI25" for the discount

I think overall, it turned out pretty well:

Oh man 2024, been a while since i updated this thread (2019). lots of things happened since i last updated. but slowly building out the car still.

Here's what's been added to the car since I last posted:

• Hella Horns
• Interior Wrap / Paint
• Grouppe-S UEL Header

i know it's not much for the past 5 years but modding this one is a sprint rather than a race for me.

so far only been modding it with the best mod out there: maintenance.

I am just glad i am still able to mod it even though my priorities have shifted Here's some pics for my future self to look at

Update April 8

Happy Birthday to my BRZ. Finally got a few new parts to install.


Ive always wanted a short shifter and i went with Billetworkz

Since I'm working on the Shifter, I also decided to get the Perrin Shifter Bushing



AND THE MOD I've Been waiting for! Cat back exhaust

Update April 9th:

I couldn't wait until the weekend and had to install all parts the next day.

Pretty much installed these today:

• BilletWorkz Short Shifter
• Perring Shifter Bushing
• MXP Comp RS Catback Exhaust

This is how I went about doing this:

• Jack up the car and put PB Blaster on bolts (Front Pipe to MidPipe only)
• While waiting for the PB Blaster, i worked on taking things apart inside the car for the shifter
• Install the shifter + bushing
• Remove the Stock Exhaust
• Install the new exhaust

One tip if you're doing this using only 2 jack stands, Jack up the car one side only (Passenger's side for me) so it's easier to access the Front > Mid pipe bolts. From there it's also easy for you to access the Shifter Mount.

I also took out the old exhaust in one go:
Out with the old

In with the new
