The IPGparts.com Subaru BRZ has been turning laps at Sebring International Raceway for just over a year now and has continued to be a reliable track companion that is getting quicker each time out. The current configuration of the car has it running the Bridgestone RE71r 225/45/17 tires and being driven to the track, turning laps all day and driving it back home. The recent addition of the Ace Header and Ecutek tune has picked up some lap time difference to the point where it can be driven into the 2:38s on a regular basis and this past Friday at...

It has been just over 1 year since we acquired the IPGparts.com BRZ and it has continued to give us nothing but positive results. So far there are just under 5k miles on it including 23 track days and we have done nothing but replace consumables and put gas in it. All told we have gone through about 3 sets of tires between the RE71r and NT01 tires that we have run on it, on its 3rd set of front brake pads, its 2nd set of rear brake pads, has had 1 front rotor replacement and its 3rd oil change...

Other than adding gas and doing the usual once over maintenance items that any track car requires the BRZ has gone out session after session and...

There are 2 track weekends under the BRZ's belt and it has proven to be quite impressive so far. The majority of my on track experience is in FWD vehicles so I expected a bit of a learning curve getting into the BRZ but the confidence the chassis gives you expedited this process. With 360 track miles on the car so far there is not 1 thing that I would change. Both weekends have been run at Sebring International Raceway. Most recently I ran with NASA and picked up over 4 seconds per lap from the first time out. My...

Ever since they were released from the Toyota and Subaru camps I have had an interest in the BRZ and FR-S. Whenever I ran into them at a track event I always mentioned to whoever I was with that I will own one of those cars one day. I just knew from their initial introduction that it was going to be a platform that I wanted to toy with and about 2 weeks ago I pulled the trigger on a 2015 Subaru BRZ. What ultimately lead me down the path was conversations that I had with existing owners and their...
