Cookie Cutter Builds 101 - Spritnex, gramlight, meat, cage



Just picked up my SWP Brz today with a whopping 7 miles on the odometer. I've been lurking here for a while and I'm very excited to finally have my own BRZ!

A little background on me: I'm 22, I live in Jersey, I have a miata, and I'm probably going to be moving slowly on this car.



I broke my plans down into years, they'll probably change over time, but this is the wishful thinking plan for now.

2014
Lip kit
Revworks header
Berk dual outlet muffler delete
Drop in filter

2015
BAGS
and wheels I have not decided on yet.

2016
Vortech supercharger

Let's see how it goes.


Current mod list

IRP Shifter
Single piece DSS aluminum driveshaft

Brakes

Your first mods are same as myn. I used the apexi drop in filter and the berk dual tip race pipe. Installed my lip kit yesterday and my revworks uel header will be here tomorrow. The car looks awesome in white. Weekday color wheels you planning on using?

That's the same mileage my FR-S had on it when I test drove it, fresh off the boat.

Congrats, have fun, they are a ball to drive.

Looks like things have changed a bit from my original post. Not much has gone on, but making slow progress.

First time ever taking the wheels off... Suprised it took this long.

Installed these guys

Barely lowered it 3/4 of an inch cause I'm a bitch.

Installed some flashy shit and a panel filter

Had this thing made. Chasis mounted. Racekor bro. (Uninstalled)



Not pictured but installed:

Whiteline diff inserts
Whiteline subframe insert
Whiteline positive shift kit
Mtec shift spring

Borla UEL header
Muffler delete

Other little things here and there.


To come soon:
Wheels
Rubber
ARP brake ducts
4.88 final drive
Tune
Exhuast tidbits
Sideskirts/rear thingies

Updating for my own sake.

Did some things. It was cool for a little bit.


I drove it less than a dozen times in 2016 before it was sitting innocently on the side of a road and a fire truck decided to hit it, cracking a wheel which is discontinued



Now she sits cold and lonely in a storage unit.



Autopower weld in cage, some new wheels, rubber, sprintex stage 2 kit and a few other bits and pieces waiting for the weather to warm up. Hopefully 2017 is a better year for her.

While I wait to install my supercharger, cage, wheels, tires, and other little shit.

I went ahead an impulse bought an IRP shifter, motiv front pipe and overpipe, master cylinder brace, and an aluminum driveshaft. Oh and a 69mm supercharger pulley.

The car should be a fun drive... when it finally drives.
