I'm not usually one to start these sorts of threads, but I've grown to prefer this forum over the other one. And they have a similar thread to this so...

I just bought these items personally:

Put some spacers on to dial in fitment. First time buying “nice” spacers. Usually grab the cheapest ones on eBay or Amazon.

My Delicious Tuning flex fuel sensor shipped today and ordered a Brembo BM4 BBK kit which will most likely be 1-2 months before I see it.

Eyeballing, you can add 2-3 mm more without rubbing issue. The combination of the car color and wheel looks really nice. I’m a huge fan of classic JDM wheels.

Applied another coat of Kamikaze Over Coat

Side Note: Apparently bees in my area love them some Gyeon Prep...constantly dodging bees while trying to detail my car 😅.

Also rotated my tires, look like they'll last another 10k miles 👍

Yeah, need to bust out the heat gun yet and remove that. Keep forgetting.

Thanks! Left room for new/wider tires. Have the stock PS4s on there and they’re too narrow, especially in the rear.

Did this the other day but didnt get any pics until today.

Added GR door stabilizers and the door mirror aero fins (had to drill a 10mm hole in each mirror so a little invasive install wise):

I was actually debating these two mods next. Feel any difference with the GR Door Stabilizers?

NM question already answered.

Good to know it makes such a big difference in a Gen 1. It at least says to me that, the product is actually worth it and that the chassis rigidity of the GR86/BRZ plays up to that level.

My Varis CF clone hood came in today. Will need to wait for real test fit as car isn't done yet. However this does mean that frame guy can work on the frame next as I have all external panels now. Yay progress

BM4 kit looks bad ass,but requires caliper removal for brake pad changes. Not the best when swapping pads for track days, etc.

the CF shift area is from where? I just got one from Aliexpress that is really nice. The fitment is perfect.

Let’s us know how it goes. I’m also planning in buying this one after getting a buyer for my oem hood. Can you send a link where you bought it from?

Added the driver side solution I found to the driver door. Pretty happy with it overall, but I do wish it was perfectly rectangular vs having one curved side, but at least it's alcantara, looks nice, and came with a stitched velcro/adhesive backing.

EDIT: found one with white stitching (to better match the inner pads) and ordered it.

That's where I took my Turo GR86 rental that basically convinced me to order this car 👍

today I installed the MTEC clutch return spring. It is a spring. But it springs less than the stock spring :LOL:

MTEC clutch spring SNAFU (and observations)

The stock clutch bothered me less and less over 2500 miles of lots of shifting (very few highway miles), making me think I may have softened the spring a touch in addition to getting used to it. But I still noticed the extra return pressure and lack of feel in the engagement zone, so decided to...
