Figured I would throw up some history, this is the car I got at 15, rebuilt and DD/raced it. I Still have it, still a great old car, but the BRZ its all fancy and high tech

I am hoping to do similar light mods to my BRZ, track it for fun but mainly use it as a DD.



"New(after rebuild)" 180hp stock old ass 350 carbureted
I would like to point out how low the front is....



after the front met a pothole just a little too deep, and some new springs(way to damn high right now) where is the middle ground!


much better, but now needs a new center section of the bumper




new shoes(as it sits today) 300hp 400ft/lbs L98(TPI) fuel injected

but back to the BRZ, I just got a sharkfin installed and the clear side markers on order. Getting the tint appointment set up sometime soon, I am planning on Huper Optik 30% around(might need 40 for side windows because laws). not sure what will be next, nameless 2.5" header back Exaust vs wheels/tries. I think for now it will mainly be pay off the car and only do things under $500.

more pics of the BRZ to come after all the minor exterior things are done.

nothing too exciting to report. STI ground effects, tint, clear sidemarkers, all those other boring common mods.

Those aren't boring mods at all! Looks great so far. Are you on spacers btw? Kind of looks like it, but it may be the angle of the photo haha.

Nice! I can't decide on what wheels I want or what specs I want to run yet. Right now, I have it narrowed down to RS05RRs, Advan RC3s, Sa-15Rs, or Volks TE37s.
