2017 WRB BRZ w/pp Daily Driver - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

uppitypanda · 04-01-2018, 02:43 PM

The BRZ is my 3rd Subaru and the first car I've ever bought new. I started off with an 06 Impreza and ended up dropping it with coilovers. It got to the point where it was fairly difficult to drive anywhere in Oregon with it.. so after I got stuck in a random hail storm that dented my whole car (not awesome) I ended up selling it and got a '10 Forester XT. My goal with that car was to keep it completely stock. I'm a photographer and started off with nature photography so it was the perfect road trip car. Could sleep in the back just fine and keep all my backpacking and climbing gear. Ended up moving across the country to Miami where I now film real estate so the FXT ended up being pointless. Been wanting the BRZ since it first came out in 2013 so I pulled the trigger when I saw there was only 1 WRB w/pp available in South Florida. Picked it up with only 3 miles on the odometer so I was stoked.

My plan for this car is to keep it looking clean and not over-the-top and keep its drivability.

06 Impreza

2010 Forester XT- it was a stock Forester, not very attractive lol

After the first drive (I was very excited)

How she is now

Current mod list

-18x8 Rota Gravel with 235/40 Firestone Indy500 tires. Pretty solid for the price.. this was my first upgrade since the stock tires are straight trash.

-Eibach Lowering Springs. Perfect drop, still have yet to scrape the front lip anywhere. The ride is about the same as stock, corners a bit better.

-Bayson R front lip and CS side skirts. I had too many front lips get torn off on my Impreza so I'll never spend more than $100 on one lol.

-Nameless Axleback. Super happy I went with this, huge difference in the sound.

-OFT (OFH + over-pipe is on the way).

Future Plans

Maybe some more engine and exhaust upgrades but as of right now I'm unsure. If anyone has any suggestions to make the car better let me know!

Did the lip actually fit? I ordered one and mine was way off, but seems like many members have no issues with fitment.

It was a little off, but not horrible. The corners are the only spots that aren't flush. I might try to fill the gap with some black tape, it's hardly noticeable though.

Tastefully Done Sir ��
I see these pictures were done in Wynnwood. I work down the street at Design District. I’m interested in hearing the nameless exhaust. Im in desperate need of some nice sounds.
