My Silver BRZ

Wanted to write my experiences so far with my car so decided to start a journal.

When I first got it home. First manual and didn't get to our practice before heading to the dealership so I stall about 10 on my way home. I got used to it 3 days later.

I went to the dealer wanting the white color but after a test drive it with a crazy Subaru tech I kinda got discouraged and picked the silver. I seeijg it inperson I liked both colors. Don't regret it.

Current mods:
Private label track pipe
KN filter
Raceseng ashiko and red lockout
Mtec shifter springs
Motul 300 fluid.
TRD short shifter( in progress)

Future hopes and dreams:
Turbo and supporting mods (still haven't decided which kit got plenty of time to decide)
18 wheels 9 or 9.5
Coilovers /air ride
Toms tails

My installs:
No pictures

Track pipe:
Install wasn't that bad. Didn't lift the car at all. Only issue was getting the exhaust hangers loosen.

Love the sound. Wanted something cheap and easy until I can afford a real catback.

Install was pretty straight forward. The lockout was the hardest with the pin you need to push or knock out as you need a couple strong hits.

The knob just took about 10 tries to get perfect alignment.

The heavy knob feel was great improvement. Shifting feeling was soften but not in a negative way and I still felt great connection to the trans. The shape is perfect for me as well since I change between side arm and over top mount.

Still need to get a sock for it.

Mtec springs:
This install is one hell of a story for me.

I'll update later today.
