Took a weekend trip to Monterey and finally broke her in yesterday! Been about 9 days... not too bad. Couldn't wait to hit this milestone, car feels way different now. I almost feel strange going above 4k now.

I dunno about feeling way different.
I broke 1k miles too this past week, nothing real different other than getting a little more power from the car due to me taking it past 4k RPM. But I rarely do this anyways haha. I wanted to catch the 1k miles before I went over 1k so I snapped the pic while moving. Yes I was being safe haha. WeatherTech's came in! And gave the car a bath. Was up in the mid 40s today! |

- Installed TurnInConcepts (TiC) Steering Rack Bushings
Headed up to Austin with the Houston86 club this weekend to do some canyon carving. I'll try to remember to update this post with a review of the solid bushings.

No personal offense meant but it is a very easy straight forward mod. If you came to my shop we would have you in and out in 15 minutes and even though we charge a minimum of 1 hour labor we would have only charged you half cause it really is a simple job, plus we would probably keep you as a customer that way

Oh I don't think I said it but Saturday I installed all the parts I listed on previous page I believe, quick run down
H&R super sport springs rating 10/10 in every aspect from ease of install to the fact that it rides just like it did before I was lowered as in comfortability, and drastically improved turning, body roll, just overall handling Perrin front Control arm brace the part that connects from front control arm bushing to the frame, again thought it would cause a more harsh vibrating ride but it didn't, just feels more solid on turnin And front control arm bushing offset PSRS from perrin (Talked about above) I didn't get to some of the parts including the perrin cold air intake I'm still using our custom intake I also did not get to the Rear transmission support I have to say that I am thoroughly impressed by every parent part that I've installed including the crank pulley their full exhaust system and the shift bushing. And I have to say that their customer support is above and beyond what most companies will do for you they are right there with Cobb, vivid, their customer support is just awesome On my Evo 10 I went with Cobb on everything until they ran out of parts that I wanted, was the same thing on my Evo perrins parts are always perfect you can tell that the research and development went into their parts I strongly recommend that people look into anything that perrin makes for this vehicle and any other vehicle that they support. But just sums stuff up I really thought that the parts I put in was going to cause The brz to ride ruff which I did not want and I was fearing because I bought the BRZ for the daily driver and I like the comfortable ride yet the superior handling but perrin parts really came through it feels like it did before I put any mods on it until you push it and you can really tell that the parts are there

As for my sig box, I used Pixelmator to create it. It's a graphics app for Macs. Of course, you can use any other graphics app to achieve the same! Maybe there's a freemium business idea in 'ModSigs.'

i am amazed how this car responds cause i know when i replaced all the bushings and frame/suspension supports on the evo it feels like I'm going up the clicky part of a rollarcoaster lol not literally but you know what i mean.
