No luck with getting insurance to replace it and the exhaust then?

I dont update this as I Should.

But the car is finished tuning on E85. It's a rocket to say the least. I need to go wider than 255 to keep grip.



Testing Verus' rear louvers on the hood.

I suck at keeping up.

So the car has been boosted on a Full race BW 7163 EFR kit for about 12000 miles. No hiccups. Just survived a move to Raleigh NC. Had a small shoot prior to moving by a local friend.




Also added in a Verus Engineering Composite adjustable splitter to prepare for new tracks I have access to in Raleigh!

Shewt it's been a hot minute. A lot has happened since Aug 2021.

Many ToTD trips. I'm considered a regular in the area now.

Was gifted a pair of Hoosier A7 takeoffs that were relatively new.


Added some of Jeremy's new momentum switches.


Used my last few weeks in NC going on road trips.

Moved to Atlanta GA in June 2022.


On my way to pick up a stock D4S hood (Going tracspec vents), a piece of metal flew off a car and took out my passenger mirror assembly.



Picked up a second set of Rays 57CR in a discontinued / harder to find color (HS Gunmetallic)


Created a partnership with Speed Foundry of Roswell and had them toss on some 255 RT660s.


Picked up JDLs newest single exit for the Gen1 BRZ. Hands down my favorite exhaust.


Sat idle until about August and I began my HPDE preps.

Turbo drain line failed, so I disassembled the car for some maintenance + get the drain line remade.

Drove up to SIA (Subaru of Indiana) for the 2022 Subie Challenge.


Ceramic coated the Rays and threw them on for some scrubbing before Road Atlanta.


Worked with Speed Foundry of Roswell on Ian's UCW with TRD spoiler integration.


Did a nut/bolt and fluid check before heading out to RA this past weekend

Road atlanta was an absolute blast. It was my first time + first time in general on a track (Was touge / AutoX only prior)

My first day was spent learning the general basics of HPDE. As expected I picked up relatively quickly and was moved up from Green to Blue on Day2.

This was my first time matching a time I wasn't intending on chasing, but you know how competition amongst friends is. Gotta hit the times your friends are making.



This was my fastest time of the weekend. 1:43 flat. I have lots of time to gain, I was hindered by pad choise (HP+). Better pads - Later braking - more time. My line work can also be improved.
