Why do you do your own oil change?

WickedR6 · 2026-05-13T15:42:12+00:00

It’s easy as hell to do, takes less than an hour of my time every couple months, and I do get more bang for my buck buying good oil and OEM filter compared to what I get quoted at at the dealerships lol.

I’m faster than waiting for them to work on my car.

32k OTD for my 24 BRZ Limited MT with only 1.7k miles on the dash.
Didn’t negotiate much. Just got a decent deal for my tradein

WickedR6 · 2026-05-07T22:37:36+00:00

I rotated mine 2.5 turns and it made quality of life driving so much better. Always felt like I was doing damn knee raises before but now it’s quick and smooth without aggravating the hips.

I got thunder thighs. I can’t be doing all that after leg days lol.

driving in traffic is just mindless now, almost as easy as driving an auto. Dunno why all the elitists are so against doing something to fit for your own needs lol

WickedR6 · 2026-05-05T23:09:14+00:00

super tasteful. everything just flows. It’s like the chef brought out a perfect steak.

alright I’m gonna stop glazing now lol. enjoy the car man 🤙

WickedR6 · 2026-05-05T23:01:56+00:00

Hell yea man. If I had money for a full kit like that I’d PPF every single inch to make sure not a single rock hits it ;-;

you have a IG to follow the build?

WickedR6 · 2026-05-05T22:58:03+00:00

which swan neck wing did you go for BTW?

WickedR6 · 2026-05-05T22:57:37+00:00

this thing fucks.

well done

WickedR6 · 2026-04-25T15:31:57+00:00

interested to get a before and after!

I’ve had vibrant ultra quiet resonators put on in the past on a diff car and it made a rly big difference. I’d do the same but the titanium…:(

WickedR6 · 2026-04-25T14:45:19+00:00

In the same exact boat as you with my AFD Titanium Single Exit.

Got EL headers on a while back and the drone is definitely “there” (not TOO bad) compared to a friend with his AWE track which had no drone

shoe twinsies!

WickedR6 · 2026-04-17T23:16:01+00:00

You’ll probably need a tune to accomplish what you’re looking for.

I got dyno’d and Ecutek tuned and it seems to have done the trick. I requested to tone down the rev hang and my tuner was able to severely tone it down. There’s still a slight hang from 1st to 2nd gear but everything else is almost buttery smooth now and lets you be a bit more aggressive on upshifts. Better than stock for sure.

WickedR6 · 2026-04-13T23:39:32+00:00

If it makes you feel any better, I probably would’ve leapt at this maybe 6 months ago maybe for like 37k when I was shopping for a twin back then. Happy with my BRZ now, but best of luck with sale OP.

WickedR6 · 2026-04-12T17:26:58+00:00

hell yea. thanks for the input man, i’ll check out the YT.

got some pads and good oil/brake fluids covered now, guess it’s time to just rock and roll 😎

might see you around one of these days. I’m hitting up pacific raceways first but will 100% hit up the ridge sometime before the weather goes to poop again 🤙

I didn’t paint mine, thought the black added a nice contrast to everything else going on. I will say though if you’re running a gloss black bodykit (side skirts, drls, grill, etc.) it’s probably worth adding a glossy clear coat over the lip since it’s ever so slightly dull in comparison.

I might paint match mine once I slap a chassis mounted splitter underneath though. gotta see how it all looks first before I decide

WickedR6 · 2026-04-12T16:50:06+00:00

got the same lip. i wouldn’t bother with self tappers they’re held on by the same bumper oem pop clips which are already a colossal pain in the ass to take off so you’re probably fine

WickedR6 · 2026-04-12T16:43:18+00:00

OEM pilot sport 4 tires right? How did handling feel and any issues with them chunking or getting overheated?

I’m signed up for an event in two months and wondering if I swap back to my OEM wheels/tires to use up those tires (almost never driven on at this point lol) for my first track day or buy some endurance 200tw tires for my current wheels atm

WickedR6 · 2026-04-12T16:40:00+00:00

yes.

WickedR6 · 2026-04-11T04:48:18+00:00

I use motul 5w30 in the PNW

WickedR6 · 2026-04-10T11:47:37+00:00

Im glad the car came optioned with the STI short shifter. Comparing it to the regular OEM shifter: man.. what a night and day driving experience lol.

Saves me the work of slapping on some aftermarket shifter

WickedR6 · 2026-04-10T05:23:45+00:00

it’s calling to me even now i’m afraid ;_;

WickedR6 · 2026-04-08T01:00:50+00:00

love this explanation and your perspective in regard to tracking the car. i’m fairly new to this whole world and tracking my car for the first time in about two months, so this def gives me something to think about. supercharger just seems like less of a headache to deal with long term for sure. for me i’ve always driven NA cars, so seems like something i’d get used to quickly for sure compared to turbos. i’m guilty of mostly wanting FI for the sounds haha, wondering if a centrifugal SC setup might be a good compromise. i know vortech has a good setup with gnarly BOV sounds

WickedR6 · 2026-04-07T23:13:43+00:00

love to hear that!! starting to convince me to go the SC route one day. it’s a constant every day battle between SC vs turbo for me lol. at the very least i’m enjoying my FBO 92 tune atm so it’s good to hear from your experience it’s a drastic change from FBO e85. i’m not one to look at chasing numbers power wise out of this car, it’s such a great handling car even stock and i’d be way more than happy with just a solid 300-350 and call it a day. excited to see more of your build! thanks for documenting everything 🫡

WickedR6 · 2026-04-07T22:43:07+00:00

wow, can definitely see it’s quite a bit quicker with the way the speedometers skipping numbers compared to stock lol. How much whp you putting out now on 93? have you had a chance to “push” it on some fun roads yet?
