Perfection.

Looks good, what exhaust is on it now?

[ATL BRZ]

Lovely build! I have nearly the exact same suspension setup and I'm very happy with the RCE and Whiteline stuff!

I'm temporarily riding with the Greddy EVO 3. Sounds good but way too loud for me without the silencers and wait to restrictive with.

Great looking car. Good work Pneub!

[Pneub]

Thank you. If you guys have any suggestions I'd love to hear them.

How many miles have you put on since the HKS install? What tune are you running with it? I've been looking for more info on the HKS but most people have the Vortech kit installed thus far.

Car looks like a blast to drive! Nice work.

Car has 2400 miles on it and 1200 with the HKS. It's tuned with the ECUTEK right now and at 9psi. The tuning isn't done yet though for a few reasons but even with it not perfectly tuned it rides great. The torque curve couldn't be smoother (except that damn dip at the end which will hopefully be fixed with those headers). Still has some idling issues but all of that will be worked out. I have zero issues with the kit and when comparing the dynos to Vortech the only difference was it seemed to bring on the torque sooner.

I really liked what you have done. Some changes to the outside, but nothing too crazy. Which antenna is that? Well done! Will definitely check out your dyno results.

I really like the master cylinder brace I put in. Couldn't tell if you had one or not, but it helps.

I'm not sure what antenna is actually coming. I just know that it's paint matched to my car but I should see it next week. What other outside modifications would you recommend. My goal is people (and primarily cops) see my car and think "that looks nice but nothing too crazy". I'd like to change out my tail lights or have them lightly tinted. I definitely don't want to do a body kit as I think it attracts way too much attention, most of them look too flashy and unrefined, and the car is already as low as I'd ever want it going over bumps and into driveways. I'm open minded to other modifications to make it more distinctive though. I considered doing the carbon fiber mirrors to match the fender trims.

Can't go wrong either way. I really like the OEM look of the Vortech and they are going to eventually have the carb sticker to go with it as well. I could have flipped a coin and purchased either one and be just as stoked.
