Well today was a fun day. I took my car to @Evasive Motorsports to have it dyno'd before adding any power mods. While filming my car on the dyno, I also got to check out the mechanics working on their shop FR-S. When they started the car up to move it out of the garage, it sounded like a MONSTER!! That car is pretty amazing. On to the pics/video!
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ek3_dOs5b70"]2013 Subaru BRZ - stock dyno run - YouTube[/ame] 1st run - 155 hp / 130 ft lb torque 2nd run - 157 hp / 132 ft lb torque 3rd run - 160 hp / 133 ft lb torque I couldn't resist buying this also before leaving the shop After I got home, I got to finally install my Perrin inlet hose and WORKS drop-in filter that I've had sitting in my garage for a while. The cabin noise is slightly louder than stock and has a much nicer and deeper sound now. Here are some before and after pictures. I think the engine bay looks much cleaner without the sound tube. |

Finally got my windows tinted!! 18% tint all around except the windshield. I might also get the windshield tinted in a clear film to keep out a bit of extra heat.

Thanks! Ya, it's still on Sportlines. I haven't measured it to see if it settled any more or not, but I don't think it has just by looking at it. It might just be the angle since I took this picture standing, and in my previous pictures after the lowering springs I crouched down. I think that's why it looks lower now.

I've been wanting to do this for a while now, but wanted to wait until I had my windows tinted first. I got my roof wrapped in gloss black vinyl. I think it looks pretty cool . If anyone in socal wants to do this and is looking for a place, email Don Nguyen. He's on a bunch of forums and does excellent quality work. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Don-N...79780885371395
