Belgian Daily white fun machine (RC III installed)

[JT1979]

Hi every one,

First to understand the way my project will follow, an introduction.

First, as an Skyline R33 GTR owner I was not looking for power (enven with the sky close to its OEM stats, its enough for me) but was rather seduce by the reviews saying that the BRZ/GT86 were a come back to fun machine focused on the fun of driving more than on power and/or pure performance (so 1st reason why modification to power aren't part of my project).

The idea was to get a car that coud be use as daily drive and to have fun on open roads the week-end (which it's rather difficult with the sky inside legal limits ).

Secondly, as a daily driver, the car must easily get into my garage (situated underground with an not so easy acces).
So the car couldn't be lowered either nor getting any front lip (we tried with an STI equipped BRZ, it didn't worked ).

Thirdly, the car must stay compliant with legal rules in Belgium (which are rather strict concerning mods).

So even if I dreamed over this ZN6 project , I must kept my ideas to a much humble level.

So enough introduction let's talk about the car :

The base :
2014 subaru BRZ Satin White 6MT in "sport executive" finish (leather/alcantara seats, LSD, two zone climatisation, etc... )
ALPINE INE-W370 BT audio/GPS unit (with alpine rear camera)
Red BRZ carpets
Carbon BRZ look doorway (not sure that's the correct word here )

Modifications so far :
Replacing Michelin Primacy with Nokian WRA3 tires
Replacing rear plate lights by LED ones
Speedhunter Windshield sticker

Modifications yet to come :
Painting the OEM wheels in one color (yet to decide which one) and keeping them for winter time.
Replacing the OEM spoiler with a TRD one.
Repalcing OEM rear lights with Tom's red ones
Replacing OEM antenna with a shark style one in white
Getting ADVAN RC III wheels in white 18x7.5 ET48 for the summer (tires not chosen yet)
Adding some STI stuff (shift knob, start knob, oil cap)

Pictures :
Don't have time to make nice picture yet but I had those ones (quickly made):

Japanese goodies installed


ADVAN RCIII 18 " + Goodyear Eagle F1 225/40/18 = 1kg less than OEM 17" wheels + Nokian WRA3 :shock: .

And installed with the Tom's rear lights, that give that (stock suspension)




I still have to install the STI start button and I'll be done with big modifications.
The audio improvement and eventual track oriented mods will wait next year.
