DAN_BRZ - PROJECT WINTER

Hey guys/gals, figured i would start a build thread to try to keep track of my mods and share my progress with this car.
I purchased this car in March 2013 and took possession beginning of June 2013.







While I was waiting for the car to arrive i slowly hoarded as many parts as I could afford.











I drove the car around completely stock for 1 month, and as soon as my break in period was over I went to town. June 30th is my birthday, and couldnt think of any better way to spend in then spending in installing parts. On this day i installed the following:

ACT Clutch arrived... installed the clutch myself with some help of a few buddies. took roughly 7 hours total. Transmission was a pita to reinstall, but finally figured it out.

Installed the JDL headers and perrin motor mounts. This header are amazing. Loving these. Install was pretty easy. i can see the header getting in the way if your doing this with the headers on. Motor mounts took some playing around with as they kept getting caught up. Perrin mounts are top notch as well. very nice quality. I love PERRIN!

Wilwood BBK install.











I had a issue mounting the hat to the rotor. I snapped a bolt when torquing them down to speck. I believe i got a faulty bolt but who knows. Maybe I did something wrong, but it was bolted to manufacturer spec. Everything else went to togethter fine. This is a nice kit. Very impressed with it. Have yet to drive the car, but will post some feed back when i get err on the road. @wilwood has unbelievable customer service. They have a great team working there and were on the ball in assisting me. Sent me out new bolts no questions asked. Brennen and mike are great guys. Thanks again.
