WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY? - Page 909 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Djratrap · 09-20-2015, 10:20 AM

Motul diff and tranny fluid, oil change, inspected brakes (about 80% not bad for 66k), fixed an exhaust rattle (stupid dealer mis-threaded a hanger bolt and i had to break it off/redrill), swapped out tires, bled brakes, and realized i need a snap on tool that makes spark plug changes much easier (doing that later this month now)...

Finally ditched the stock tires an put on some Bridgestone RE-71Rs (stock size 215/45-17). Needless to say, HUGE difference - better in every way, with the exception of road noise, which I don't care about. The grip is high enough that near/at the limits it slightly overpowers the stock suspension; it feels a little sloppy but the extra grip is definitely welcome. No doubt everything could stand to be more stiff, especially damping. But not a big deal - the extra grip is great. I'll go down the rabbit hole of suspension mods eventually.

and OMG they are too damn bright

I love it though.

Consider using some black vinyl wrap to cover just the light.
It dims it slightly, and I've found blacked out, the markers look pretty mean.

Replace motor with suspension...

those of you with the aftermarket BRZ STI front lip. what did you use to install it? the screws I used just backed out and I almost lost it yesterday

pinski · 09-21-2015, 09:22 AM

Took my car to my buddy's shop to get my Openflash UEL header, Perrin overpipe and Motiv catted front pipe all installed. Coupled with the Perrin catback, it sounds great, but is rather loud. Tuned it right then with OFT and it runs out really nice now - no more torque dip!

My replica is just held in with self-tapping screws and has lasted through track days, autox and lots of spirited driving. Maybe try and grab another set of self-tapping screws? You may need to drill different or more holes.

forget everything else. that kit looks by far and away better than any other. after seeing Killboy's at Deal's Gap I'm sold but trying to stay responsible until I pay for some other things first.
