Chezzy79's BRZ Build Thread

[chezzy79]

I daily this car and intend to start doing some light autox, it probably gets around 20-25k miles a year, mostly on highways. Until the extended warranty runs out, my goal is to make this car into an ultimate daily driver, the mods will focus primarily on luxury, street performance, style, and racing performance, pretty much in that order, and once it hits 100k miles I am planning on putting a supercharger on it. Some parts have a number next to it to show how it has affected the weight, but the figures are approximate.

Thank you! I'll take more pictures as I mod the car more, right now it is pretty close to stock in term of performance as well as aesthetics.

Drooling at the INGS N-Spec front fenders at the moment...

I just picked mine up at the very end of June. Trying to not spend a crap ton of money on part's. That isn't as easy as I had anticipated.

Tell me about it, this is my first and only car that I own too. Just added a few things to the "upcoming mods" list haha. I'm not feeling too bad though, I feel like this car was meant to be modded heavily and I got a good enough deal that left me with a decent amount for modding. It'll look/feel like a completely different car when I'm done with it

Stock tires/wheels switched out on 9/7/2015 at 3,140 miles

The amount of aftermarket parts for this model is fantastic. So much stuff to choose from!

How do you like the Avest side marker/turn signal lights? So do they come with LED's? Can you post some pictures of them off and on please

I really like the side markers, but I have no idea why it was a DRL when the car already have plenty of DRL's and not enough turn signals...

Thanks for posting the pictures.


So it's not a turn signal as well?

Always hoon responsibly:

Valenti's are finally rewired! Shout out to the amazing crew at @Ishii Motors for working their magic and installing the coilovers somehow without taking the wheels off, when my dumbass forgot the wheel locks. I don't know how that's even possible, huge thanks to their expertise and professionalism.

Installed Seibon CF Fenders with some meaty tires, absolutely no complaints

[chezzy79]

Just installed Wilwood brakes and A LOT of suspension parts... car feels so much smoother, more stiff, and planted. I love it
