What did you do to your 2nd gen BRZ today?

Ya, feels like at least 2-3 inches compared to a bottomed out stock seat. Used the lowest mounting points possible on the sliders/mounts (nagisa driver side and buddy club passenger).

I'm 5'10 and if I were any shorter, I think I'd have some visibility issues.

Removed charcoal intake filter for a free 5whp. ��*♂️

Debadged the "Subaru". I think I'm just going to take off the "BRZ" tomorrow as well.

Went to the dealer to get my first oil change. Also picked put some OEM camber bolts. Will have to find someone locally to install them

Are you running without an engine air filter?

No. I am still using an air filter for my intake. I just removed the silly charcoal diaper that’s in there.

I'm debating this. I've already removed the "Subaru" badging and it looks so much better. Can't decide whether I want to go full monty and remove the "BRZ" badges too.

I totally debadged my last car and really liked it, so it isn't like I haven't done it before. Not sure why I have an irrational attachment to the remaining badges.

the 86 is an obscure car. way more fun to change the badge to something else. 3/4's of the world assumes the badge is the car!

Does anyone have experience with the new gens and how the passenger seat sensor works? Will I need to remove the sensor sheet/membrane from the stock seat and put that into the aftermarket seat to get the airbags working on the passenger side?

I spy heated seats meaning the higher end trim. If only replacing the driver seat, is the 3.3ohm resistor all is needed for the dash SRS light? Anything for the heated seat element?

Thanks.

Yes, you'll be fine with just a resistor. No complications due to the heated seat on the driver side.

The same cannot be said for the passenger seat.

What size are those? I'm going to guess 18x8 +45

Looks great but would look even better with more low and bigger brakes.

Yes, they 18x8. Those are also the stock 215 ps4 tires. When they wear out, definitely going with wider tires. And maybe some lowering. Right now, one step at a time for me.
I’m loving the design and look of the wheels.

I’m considering printing a few and selling them for cheap to those who don’t want to dish out the $100ish for the GS pipe and those who prefer keeping the engine bay looking stock… this is all assuming it does make an actual difference in sound.

It likely won’t make a noticeable difference in power loss(if there is a loss)
Losing 2-3whp isn’t gonna change my life and I’m not a fast enough driver on track to need every ounce of power from this car

What are your thoughts post install? Any improvement in sound?

still experimenting with it. initially, sound difference is miniscule. no change is how the car feels or drives.

i dont think id even be able to use sound difference as a selling point. at this point, all it's doing is cleaning up the engine bay a little bit.

i do however want to mess with the intake tube behind the front bumper as well to see if anything can be done there
