Picked up some parts over the last few days.
Started collecting the rest of the parts for the braking system. Rear DBA 4000 rotors, stop tech stainless lines, Motul brake fluid, and Hawk pads are in. Front pads and front rotors are on order.

I also traded some alignments for some exterior parts. Got a TRD wing to replace the stock BRZ spoiler ( THAT I DESPISE) and some sit style side skirts. Fitment on both were great.
I also have on order the Cleib Dolphin tail 2.5" SS cutback. Cant wait for that to come in. Thats on a 2 month lead time so still have a ways out on it.

Brakes, brakes, and more brakes.
Front rotors arrived the other day. Fantastic quality, made by Compbrake. The original 1 piece rotors to fit this kit are no longer available, therefore a few companies have made a 2 piece setup to fill the market gap. Only issue with the kit was i was missing the nuts to bolt the disc to the center bell. Once they were in a mocked the kit up on the front as i still qasnt 100% positive they would bolt up. The Bombsquad performance bracket i had replicated out of T6 aluminum vs the original steel worked flawlessly, along with the rest of the components.

Also partially disassembled the front calipers, to get them ready for install. Removed the adaptor bracket, removed the pad bolt, the brake line bolt etc. That way they are in a readily state to be installed.

Well car is temporarily down. Thursday coming home when getting off the interstate car developed a severe misfire. Last 3 miles home had blinking CEL and then solid CEL. Ive determined it to be what I believe a bad coil pack. Cars never een tracked and I rarely beat on it enough to build up substantial heat in the engine bay. In the process of testing to figure out the issue I killed my Braille battery. Showing 12v but won't crank the car over. Wondering if that may have also contributed to the issue. Will find out soon enough when the new parts get here.

With the car down I decided to take advantage and get a few things done I needed to. Pulled the Volks off and washed them up, installed the new authentication stickers, and going to get them ceramic coated.
Also fixed the EDFC wiring that got damaged from not having the strut stoppers installed.
Also installed the stut stoppers so I could finally hook up the EDFC. Once cars back up and running she should be good to go.

Alright so coilpack wasnt the issue. Spoke to a few locals and figured it to be the DI injectors. Earlier this week i disassembled it, pulled everything out. Cylinder 3 is what the code came back as......And it had the best looking seal, which kind of baffles me but ya know what if seals fix the issue fantatsic.

While waiting for the seals to arrive i set everything out for the brakes as iw ill be installing them very soon as well. Front rotors needed to be assembled as well. Wanted to make sure i had every component that i needed on hand and ready to go.

Just an update. Cars is still at the dealer. They are still diagnosing.
In the mean time i did a widebody install on a local twin, had some money burning a hole in my pocket and ordered a few parts.
Exedy Chromoly lightweight flywheel, Exedy OE replacement clutch, and an IRP short shifter. Now all i need to do is drop my trans off at my local shop abd get the new carbon syncrhos put in.
So current list of parts to install when i get the car back now consist of.
-Prodrive BBK
-Cleib catback (suppose to be stateside early May)
-IRP Short Shifter
-Trans with Carbon Synchros
-Exedy Chrom. Flywheel
-Exedy OE clutch
-Defi STI Genome Oil pressure gauge
Should drop about 30lbs with those parts.IG @gt3_brz

so is the long term plan to just keep it stock body and focus on track performance?
not saying I want you to go "widebody" with flares, cause I dont, but if you do, please for the love of god. DONT. DO. ROCKET. BUNNY.
Too many cool kits out there for the BRZ/FRS.

Got an update from the technician over at Subaru. They verified coilpack, spark plug, and injectors. They found an issue with the injector control module. They changed it and it ran over ok for a few minutes, however issue still persist.
The claim has been escalated up to get an Subaru engineer involved. They are thinking some form of Voltage issue. Due to the amperage the Di injectors run the tech is unable to check it.
So at this current point in time we are simply awaiting to see what the Engineer finds and go from there.IG @gt3_brz

Suggest they monitor the injector pulse width with an oscilloscope if they're scan tool has provisions for it. Sometimes the CAN-BUS has provisions for it so they can monitor voltage without the risk of a tech incorrectly installing or using an additional peripheral. My buddy at a Kia dealer usues it all the time to pinpoint DI gremlins.

Update on the situation.
Issue was found to be in the shortblock. Plan was to wait for a new shortblock to arrive and drop that in. Get a call from my friend who is the tech working on the car with some news. Shortblocks are on backorder. SOA has given him permission to tear down the motor assembly to find the issue and see if it is repairable.
Come yesterday he texts me and gives me the down low. cylinder 3 piston is warped, there is a decent gap at the bottom you can see if you look closely (cant see in pics he provided) and the cylinder looks like an egg. So block is bad and we need to continue waiting for the shortblock as originally planned. Currently still do not have an eta as to when that will arrive.

While i wait ive been knocking some things out ive wanted to do while also collecting some parts. My tob makes noise at idle and i figured it was a good excuse to upgrade to a lightweight flywheel and new clutch. Its an Exedy OEM replacement clutch and their lightweight flywheel. believe the weight to be 11lbs if i recall correctly. About half the weight of oem. My exhaust also came in, its a cleib 2.5'' SS catback. Welds are SUPERB on it. I cant wait to hear it. I also picked a header, over pipe and front pipe which will be here later this week while i am out of town. I also opted to put some Tredwear tire letters on my tires. Figured id try it out and see how i like em. ANd lastly, with the wheels off the car and the catback here i had a buddy come by and tried our hand at ceramic coating. Also put it on the calipers, gotta make them purty things easy to clean.
