It's no secret, as good as this Subaru BRZ tS is, we have a long way to go before it's anywhere near Yo's 997 GT3. We plan on taking our time to get there so lets join Yo in what he's got for the first round of BRZ mods.
First up are mods I call liveability mods. Mods that are just going to make your life better living with your car day to day or when it’s time to work on the car. Since we are going to be working on this car pretty often, I feel this first mod is a MUST HAVE. Verus Engineering pinch weld pucks. These slick little anodized pieces of aluminum will protect those flimsy pinch welds. IF you’ve been messing with cars as long as I have, you guys all know that these pinch welds get gnarly after years of jacking the car up and down over and over again. Also, this gives your jack a much safer and secure spot to lift from than that thin little strip of metal that is holding a couple thousand pounds…
Be seen and get other drivers attention. Today Yo is putting on an F1 Module, JDM 4th brake light, Clear sidemarkers, LED reverse lights all directly from Driven.Media.
Finally, we get to some performance mods. These will be our first baby steps toward the GT3. We aren’t swinging for the fences here with these parts but both of these pieces installed really add to the experience of driving this car. The induction noise and exhaust really take over in the GT3, something that really lacks with the OEM intake and exhaust on the BRZ.
Journey To GT3: BRZ tS vs GT3 at Sonoma Raceway
After a bit of a break, Yo finally got the BRZ and GT3 out to the same track for some testing! We get to see how much of the gap we have closed with the new parts we installed on the last episode and take a few hot laps around Sonoma Raceway. Things don’t go quite to plan, but we make the best of the weekend compiling data for the BRZ.
Kevin In Cali: New Aeroflow Dynamics Exhaust!
Kevin another trip out to Socal, and although I wasn't planning on doing anything car related, I found myself in the shop working on the @spamsubie VB WRX! We installed the new AFD touring catback exhaust on his car and I've got to say it definitely sounds quite a bit better than the stock exhaust!
