Did you get your TRD Steering Wheel in yet? I've had my eye on that for awhile and would love to see more pictures and a review of course

Thanks,
Rick

Hi Rick, yes, it has arrived recently. Unfortunately, I don't have the proper tools nor the time to change the wheel just yet.

Did a bit of pedal to the metal yesterday:

obligatory "2222"-shot

Very cool, would love to see some pictures when you get it installed!

I also took my 1111 shot on my personal BRZ a few days ago, and celebrated with a redline pull. Also I just converted to KPH to MPH and you were really moving when you snapped those pics haha

Thanks,
Rick

XXXXtreme tuning, stage 2:

+3WHP guaranteed!

Contemplative Wash'n'Waxing session led to this:

First "real" performance upgrade: I installed the TRD JDM Sports Air Filter this morning. while I was at it, I removed the foam plug from the default Sound changer as well.

The motor feels a bit free breathing, a teensy bit more elastic and a bit more bassy. Very subtle changes though, no game changer.

DId you notice any real difference in air filters except for the color?

OnkelC · 10-24-2013, 04:25 PM

Update:

The engine bay is now completely TRDfied (drop in air filter, oil filter, radiator cap, oil filler cap and front strut tower bar) :

TRD steering wheel and shift knob:

and the door latch reinforcements, haven't taken pics of them yet

Next Stops (in this particular order):
Winter wheels
Air intake duct
Chiptuning
Exhaust...
