New here? Come say hi =)

Incredibly longtime lurker here who finally joined the club. The 2020 BRZ tS happened to line up with what I wanted, white, manual, and performance package. None of the other BRZ in the area fit those criteria. The upgraded wheels and tires are a plus as I plan to get into autocross.
About half-way through the break-in and am waiting to get it back from PPF install.

Welcome all! So nice to see the 86/BRZ platform still going strong. Great place to start your modding journey!

Thanks! Going to try and stay stock for a bit. We'll see how those initial autocross events go. My guess is my skills are lower than the car's limits for the time being.

Thanks! I haven't looked where they are lately. I know Thunderhill has some scheduled with SCCA but I figured things aren't running as normal right now.

As a former RX8 owner and enthusiast, I’ve decided to upgrade my life to a charcoal grey 2017 BRZ. These cars have a lot of the same spirit, style, and grace. I am delighted to learn of this forum and look forward to learning from all of you as I start this journey. I take ownership tomorrow on Monday. Cheers!

Soon to be owner, long time ft86club lurker. I just got the news that my 06 JCW Mini will need a wiring harness and supercharger soon, and I'm tired of dumping money into it. Set to test drive a '16 BRZ tomorrow, and with the news of the Mini, now the wife is on board!

The only big decision is if is should buy from a dealership, the classified, or through my friend on Manheim. And if I should hold out for a Li PP.

IMO hold out for a performance pack car. The LED lights, Sachs dampers, Brembos, and interior fit/finish/tech are all major upgrades over the standard fare. If you're accustomed to the Mini's creature comforts, and brake/suspension feel, I'd say it's a must.

Hello fellow BRZ fans. Recently bought a '16 BRZ Limited as a project car/ daily driver/ fun track day vehicle from time to time. Just found this forum and can't wait to dive in and read all the good info on here.

You are probably right, but I pulled the trigger on a Premium 16 with 35k miles this weekend. Coming of the Mini, which was insanely harsh and stiff, the Premium felt a lot more compliant, yet more planted. The swaybars on the JCW package were so stiff, I would regularly go up on 3 wheels pulling into a parking lot. I didn't miss anything about it while driving the BRZ. They took my Mini in trade too, so now I don't have to deal with it anymore.

Regardless, thanks for the help.

Congrats on your purchase! Can't go wrong with this platform. My '17 has 49k miles now and is still solid as a rock.

Hey all! I've had my BRZ for a while now, but finally got around to joining. Here's my 2018 Heritage Edition.

Hi, I've been lurking for a bit but thought I should probably register to chime in every so often.

I don't own one of The Twins but I'm looking forward to getting one (or it's replacement) in the next two-ish years.

My current car is a Mazda 2 (1.3L) which is a good example of a "slow car driven fast", it offers reasonable engagement and fun 90% of the time which is what I hope to get out of it's replacement.

If you like go-karts you came to the right place.
