Nano GTR
S2k has VTEC dude

Austin, exactly
Doors would get red leds too. Done

There you go, final sentence "Don't spend too much money"
Tyler is right, after all, it's a good priced car.
Unlike Raptor, BMW, Mustang, Audi... spend the money somewhere else, BRZ is fun enough for that price.

I don't care Anil
I hate the new Quattroporte too. I am talking about this beauty

Oh shit I missed the first post of the page about my 2yrs mod list
anyways

Anil, what kind of bothered me was
I kept over revving when shifting to 2nd, rest was a perfect shift
Then found out that everyone who bought the car hates it, it's that clutch delay thing from first to second, you have to get used to it
and not easy as TL to delete it

In the Subaru?
Feb 12, 2014 | 05:38 PM

Yes
To protect the clutch

Friends 2001 civic doesn't have it haha

On BRZ they change the height of the clutch
Clutch sits higher than the brake pedal, they equal the clutch height with the brake pedal, takes like 60 secs to do, that helps it a little I think. Grabs quicker

Well, do your research Meeks...every drivetrain is different. Might be better to leave it in and protect the pressure plate/clutch assembly and just let yourself get used to how it drives. Remember, you're not really running from a bank robbery and the cops at all times!

Also, I'm sure you've seen morgan civicdrvr's thread...but have you seen this one?

Yeah yeah definitely not touching it Jeremy.
I am not Anil, I'll leave it alone, just change the clutch height may be

Gotta stay away

J. everyone says don't get blue, not only you
You know why I want black? Because it hides the wheel gap or any other bad looks of the car, could be end of the bumpers or the angles and etc
Talking about first sight

Since my only plan is to drive it stock... , I want black to hide those imperfections
Blue is sexy but if you mod it

when will we learn..."am gonna leave it stock" NEVER WORKS !!!
Feb 12, 2014 | 08:21 PM
  #3850  

Dude I am not a rim guy, see, still have stockies
No rim, no low for me, until shocks die, we know that for sure

Rest is different
Stock rim, stock height, black BRZ perfect... not sure about blue
I could e-mail the guy right now
No idea what to do. I want black but blue is different

I am sure of this, in the first year of owning it, you will spend atleast $1000 in mods....

here, i got 10 bucks on it...

Feb 12, 2014 | 08:36 PM

Well, if I get the TRD intake that's 375 shipped



If I get the front and side spliters plus the rear one, they look just like the one you had for your sides, that's beyond 1k
Fuck



I like TRD exhaust too, it's from Scion but sounds good
just an exhaust tone, nothing crazy

may be perrin exhaust tips



borla unequal header vs stock




this one looks nice too

^dat blue looks so good though!

Solid car to get Meko! Though don't expect to ever take more than 1 passenger haha

Meko, go for it, man. If you've never had black before...you have to experience it once. I'm just letting you know that you've been spoiled by having silver that doesn't show dirt OR swirls. White is bad with dirt but not swirls, black is bad with swirls but not dirt (believe it or not...if you keep it waxed, the reflection is so good you don't see the dirt).

Your call...personally, my next car/cars will be either a loud color like blaze orange metallic I had on my RSX-S OR a gunmetal.

To me, this is the color you need to get. Not as bad as black to keep clean, but just as rewarding when clean. Oh, and work out a trade plus cash for Austin's F14's if he ever wants to sell them.

Check it out, sucka


To me, exhaust for nice sound gives the most driving pleasure. Lowering visually makes biggest impact and helps with how it handles. That's it...wheels down the line to separate you from a stock one.

^ definitely agree with J on black, gotta own it at least once. I had NBP on my RSX-S before the TL. You'll notice the dust and dirt on the car within a day of washing it, but loved the mirror reflection. I had time back then to keep it clean with no kids, but with 2 kids and less free time, I opted for AM on my TL.

This thread moves just as fast as Mehmet's thoughts...

Damn that black BRZ with F14's looks hawt.

I don't recall, but do you have to run a front plate in Mass.?

Tails look fantastic on that BRZ although I think I like the Valenti better.

Also, LMAO @ "slightly smoother power band". Judging from that, those headers are a must!

Too many words for you? It is dark grey metallic, not black.

Because modded
I used to make fun of the neighbor who had Fooout Fiesta with same blue
I saw 2 blue BRZ in 2 days, no black yet

I knowwwww
I take my seat to the lowest and back so my legs sit straight, then there were no room at the back haha
Right side could take it though, brother was able to fit

What BRZ did is the bottom of the seat extends longer to the back, so not really need a space for the legs as long as knee stays straight

Let's talk some details

My Golf was Navy, I still remember how I loved the color
Dad had 2004 Benz E320, used it 2006 to 2009, it was black and it was always looked good.

Hand wash that car? Never. Dad always uses normal car wash
Lady that used it before us? I don't think so
I still remember how I loved the look on that car too.
Like Will said, that mirror reflection is the key I guess.

Silver RL? White FX? Mehhhh not really remember saying, oh that car looks great on the road while following you dad!!!

True I always wanted a small sports car in black like S2k, may be that's why it pulls my attention. Plus, my other choice is blue only and I don't like it, I want something cool dark, nothing crazy.

2nd thing why I love black?
New cars have leds nowadays. Black Audi or BMW looks way f.ing sexier while following you. LEDs stand out sooo good, same with BRZ
You are like what the hell is coming

--------

That's the color Morgie has.. no?
I don't like colors that are in between

It's not gray, it's not black
If it was Dolphin Gray like what Audi used to have, that's my love.
Not even the "gray AM" color the TL has. Kind of dark for gray, which I am not a fan of but I think it looks the best on TL when modded with black tone.

-----------

I am positive on not lowering. Add bars, improve it, done.
I loved the suspensions on that car. They really have sport feeling
Exhaust? I wouldn't want to loose the intake sound. I have more love for it than the exhaust.
From Exhaust all I want a nice tone from now on. Which FRZ TRD is the only choice I guess

BRZ SRT exhaust if fawking loud

Yes yes black for sure hehe
I guess we people from Boston don't really care about those swirls may be, I don't know.
Jeremy says his car doesn't look great on sun....naah shut the f up
It looked perfect to me


You heard that downshift rumble

J!! Do you still remember the downshift the SS did while pulling in to the park with Austin? It sounded perfect because had enough time on highway to heat it up haha

I knowww even my mind can't catch the thread anymore haha
Yes have to run front plate but I don't since 2 years or something, and no cops yet knock on the wood.
Even Acura doesn't want my plate to inspect the car anymore. Just got a sticker, first month
They love my TL that's why





Yeah headers must but they talk about tunning sooo much and I hate tunning because I don't get it, it's a computer thing and I can't do it

They say even intake needs a tunning, bitch please just unplug the battery
Yeah, true, that's why Morgan went back to stock
After market, cone ones let's say, reduced the power from 1k to 4k rpm, but puts down pretty good after 4k

IDK, have to do more reading, just scaning right now

This has to and will be my first mod
When it's go go go time
Start flashing like an F1 bish

Feb 13, 2014 | 10:05 PM

Finished with about 6-7" inches with a nice crispy layer of ice on top. The sun came out for a bit this afternoon and a lot of it melted

Anil, I think MEKO posted pictures of the black E350 to show how the paint looked after his dad and previous owner never really took care of it.

Yikes....you guys are not used to that much snow, are you.
Feb 13, 2014 | 10:07 PM

We haven't had this much snow in over 2 years. Usually we might get a light dusting but no heavy accumulation like this.
Feb 13, 2014 | 10:10 PM

That's crazy.....it was finally above freezing here in Kansas City today. It's supposed to stay above for the next week. Maybe I can get the Stingray out and let her run for a while.
