DaiTT500's OG had the car since 2012 was a street car, now a k24 swapped Racecar.
Photobucket sucks! I am not paying $40 to image host. Instead of re-uploading everything, I am going to start over when I get new content.
The car has been down for a year changing different setup. I will update this slowly as I still buy parts for the car. In the mean time, this is the latest picture of my car: Mod list from years ago. Will update as we go. Revamping Build Thread.

**********************************************
I purchased my lightning red BRZ in November with intentions of using this car as a daily driver and a reliable track day car. Before I had this car I was tracking a 1991 Toyota MR2 turbo. The MR2 original motor took a poop and I swapped in a 3rd Generation MR2 motor with a Turbo kit upgrade. It felt good on the track with 300hp but it seemed like every track event I went to there was always a problem with the car since I pushed the car on the track. Fed up with reliability issues of the MR2 I purchased the BRZ with intentions to keep it stock and have fun on track days with out worry about the car breaking down or having issues. I drove the car, stock until after the holidays. Then all of a sudden in the last month I decided since there is a track day coming up I wanted to start last minute modding the car for the track. First mod I did was I needed some tires and I knew I wanted Michelin Pilot Super Sports but I didn't want to put it on the stock wheels because I don't like the stock wheels at all so I purchased rota titans. They were cheap wheels but I think in the near future I am going to get a second set of wheels. I am most likely getting enkei rpf1 for the track. The next thing I got recently was Tein Flex. After reading about EDFC actives I was sold on going with Teins. The installation was a breeze. Along with the tein coilovers I got spc lca and toe arms to fix the camber in the rear and fix the toe. I don't prefer the stock BRZ limited wing so I got a carsmo rear wing and jon motoring lip kit for aero. Since my paint was in good condition and I track the car a lot I wanted some paint protection so I decided to plastidip the whole car. It should protect my paint underneath the rubber coating. I decided to go with a total different custom pearl blue pigment. It turned out real good and gave the car a cool looking matte finish. Whenever I get bored of it I will just peel it off.

Cool cars! Your BRZ actually looks great with the plastidip. That stuff scares me especially on a track car though, I've heard it is quite flammable...

I never heard that it's flammable when it's dry. Lots of people use plastidip on wheels and under heavy braking conditions you will sometimes see sparks coming from the brakes. I have never heard of a car catching on fire because of plastidip. |
