Thumbs up Norsamerican's WRB BRZ aka "Backdraft" Build

BACKDRAFT: an explosive event at a fire resulting from rapid re-introduction of oxygento combustion in an oxygen-starved environment.

Purchased the car after a friend of mine told me a woman had purchased the car a few days before and returned it because she "didn't like it."
Once I heard this news I had made plans to purchase the car.


I will be showing the car at statewide shows as well as shows in other states. I am currently relocated for work and will be returning home this spring. The car is currently in stock configuration as I hoard parts at my house.



Full build thread planned with professional photos when I return home.

Visit my associated blog at www.automodia.com where a full write up of the build will also occur. We can also be found on facebook by searching "automodia"

Plans are to have a street legal / track styled car. Similar to what APR's demo car looks like but with different array of parts.


Engine/Exhaust:
Borla UEL Headers
Nameles Trackpipe (Axleback Delete)
Perrin Inlet Tube
Perrin Cold Air Intake


Interior:
Blox Gold Shift Knob
Blox Black Reverse Lockout Adapter


Exterior:
Spyder Tailights (Black)
4th Brake Light / Fog light Mod

Suspension:
Fortune Auto 500 Series Coilovers
Fortune Auto Adjustable Sway bar endlinks
Fortune Auto Radial Coilover Spring perch bearings


Wheels/Tires:
Avant-Garde Forged Wheels
18x8.5 +32 Fronts
18x9.5 +39 Rears
Nitto Motivo 225/40/18 Fronts
Nitto Motivo 255/35/18 Rears






Stay tuned.

There is quite a lack of lip kits for this car. I can only think of a few, APR, Seibon, Chargespeed. The one lip kit i want is still in R&D with no projected production date because they're arent any BRZ's around for them to fit a kit onto. Such a shame.

Finally finished installing the above mods and took a few quick instagram photos. More professional images to come soon as well as more parts. Stay tuned.
