Teku's 2014 WRB BRZ. Now lowered
Started out as a 240 kid. I have owned numerous 240's over the years and loved the feel and look of the cars. Lack of funds and using the cars as a daily I was never able to finish the dream 240 I had always wanted. About 3 years ago I sold my final complete 240 and used the money to put a down payment on a WRX wagon. It was a great car fun daily, but after 3 years it didn't have the right feel I wanted out of a car. It's hard to explain but I'm sure most of you understand what I mean. I signed up to this forum in 2012 when I found out about the FRS/BRZ. I wanted to trade my wagon in for one two years ago. Money issues and the loan amount on my wagon prevented that until about 3 weeks ago. Pulled the trigger and picked this baby up.
![]() 2014 WRB Subaru BRZ premium model. It's a 6 speed manual which for me was necessary. This is honestly the first time in a long time I truly enjoy driving my car. Every time I walk away from it I look back at it. I'm happy to be a part of the forum and hope to meet some of you in person in the near future. Here is the car as it sits and the current mod list. ![]() Current mod list.

Got the over pipe and front pipe installed in the car, as well as my strut bar and oil cap. Really loving the work space in these cars. Makes finishing up mods easier.

Finally had a chance to install my Perrin intake and inlet tube. I decided to go with the most difficult intake to install because why not lol. Actually I liked how the air filter was in front of the radiator instead of after it soaking up the hot air. So with that being said I had to take off the front bumper.

Alright so after about a month of back order and shipping time I picked up my Apexi N1 coils today from EliteJDM. Man are these things nice. They feel really heavy duty compared to the BC's and Isis coils I had on my 240's.
![]() ![]() The gold adjustable piece is for the sway bar links not sure if all the coils come with them but mine did. ![]() Installation was a breeze as well. Got to my buddies shop at 1230 and was done with adjustments at 230. Not to shabby if I say so myself. Before ![]() After coils and wheels ![]() And when I got home my Raceseng shift knob and reverse lockout came in. Only have the shift knob in atm however. ![]() |

Car looks good man heading in the right direction! Love the duckbill spoiler, really think it works super well on our cars.
For some reason it looks like those tires have a tall sidewall ha maybe its just the 17's. Good look though!
