Guru's BRZ - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Guru Woodman · 03-24-2015, 07:57 PM

Hey guys,

Just picked up my new 2015 Subaru BRZ Sport Tech in Crystal White Pearl. And I'm loving it.

The delivery at Otto's in Ottawa was professional and excellent.

I even received a welcoming present with stuff I will actually use

I don't have big plans for it to be honest, although I say that with most vehicles I have owned.

The only things I have done so far is getting rid of those dealer name license plate holders. I am still looking for nice alternatives (tips welcome)

I also swapped some light bulbs for led's

I took it for a little spin today and I am totally in love with it. This is probably one of the best (if not the best) gearbox and clutch I have ever used (and there were many)
If I compare it to other cars I have owned I would rank the driving experience between the Miata and the 911.

Tomorrow it is going for a windows tint and Krown rust proofing, a must where I live.

On the To do list is the Boomerang DRL mod and the TapTurn

I hate it. Worst choice you could have made.

Burrcold · 03-25-2015, 02:10 PM

...oh and welcome!

I had the window tint done yesterday and they Krowned it too.

Did did an excellent job. I hope the end result will be good too because the weather was very nasty and wet so I had to take it for a long drive so the windows got a chance to dry.

Did my first fill up yesterday. 33 MPG, not too shabby.
I am still breaking it in (I am at 600km) but I don't really baby it.

It is not easy to fully enjoy the car with the weather we are having here lately. I will have to be patient.

I also updated the startup screen on the nav unit. I combined an existing screen with the Nakamishi logo.

Guru Woodman · 03-29-2015, 06:38 PM

I debadged it today (not the Subaru logo's). I was surprised how easy it was to take them of. It is almost freezing outside and i just needed to apply a little heat to be able to op them off with my finger nail.
I then proceeded with cleaning it by driving through a touchless wash wash. it came out relatively clean, apart form the top of the rear bumper. My guess is that the rear wing prevents the full blast of the water.

Package from Otto's, are you from Ottawa? Where is that road?

Guru Woodman · 04-05-2015, 07:25 PM

No, I bought it at Otto's (great experience btw) but I live in Delta ON, about 1.5 hrs south of Ottawa.

The road is on Highway 15 near Kingston:

Burnt Hills Rd
Kingston, ON K0H

I received my Fog Light bulbs today from HIDPowerhouse and the difference is amazing !! Gone are those ridiculous yellow candle lights.

Installing was relatively easy. I will let the pictures do the talking:
