BRZ

[Evan]

So,

I bought a BRZ.
It looks like this:


Team Red  (before I washed it)


Tight fit in the garage  (and thanks to Jose for the help bleeding brakes)


Did the previous owner include wheel lock key?  No,  no she didn't.

Thankfully,  she found them literally minutes before I was about to start hammering sockets on them.

Done so far, no pictures because who cares:  
Fluids:
Oil:  M1 5w30
Trans: Redline MT90
Diff:  Redline 75w90
Brake fluid: ATE Type 200 (wtf happened to Super Blue?!!!!)

Got a killer deal on used camber plates so on they go






Swapped rear springs for 2013 FR-S Springs.  The 2013 FR-S had the stiffest rear springs from the factory, and the 2017+ cars had the stiffest front springs (and biggest rear bar)  so I now have the stiffest setup with factory parts.   No pictures because I was busy trying to not be killed by rental spring compressors.

new rear lower control arms.   There is an eccentric bolt by the hub that you turn to set camber


RIGHT after I installed those I found a crazy deal on some Blox lower control arms,  that do not use an eccentric, and allow for much more range of adjustability.   Oh,  and they are gold.   They will go on at some point in the future.


New brake pads.   Im not even kidding.    They had me at "official brakes of NASCAR"

After bedding them in,  they are VERY good street pads.  Again, not kidding.


New reeyumz!   Konig 17x8 flow formed wheels....... that dont fit over the bremboz  back they go



I think that about covers it for now.   Ill write some thoughts and impressions on the car later.  Maybe.
