Project BRZ, Trackday Two

After the huge disappointment that was the first track outing, I made some changes and gave it another go.

Project BRZ, 2017+ VSC Module Retrofit

As part of my prep for the next trackday and to remedy an issue I had in the last one, I chose to upgrade my VSC control module to a newer one from a 2017+ GT86/BRZ.

Project BRZ, Oil Heat Exchanger Installation

More track day prep here. One of the common issues with the Toybaru Twins is that the oil temps are pretty high, so in an attempt to control it, I installed an oil-coolant heat exchanger.

Project BRZ, Engine Mount Replacement (RHD)

As part of my prep for the track day later this month, I wanted to replace the engine mounts. How to do it wasn’t exactly clear though.

Project BRZ, Reverse Lockout Adjustment & Cluster Lens

If the transmission in your Toybaru Twin has ever been out of the car, there is a chance the reverse lockout plate on the shifter is no longer correctly adjusted and maybe impacting shifting.

Project BRZ, Oil Pressure Gauge V2.0

In typical fashion, my plan didn’t work out, so now I’m onto Version Two of my oil pressure monitoring solution.

Project BRZ, Diff Mount Replacement and Inserts

One thing I have been chasing since getting this car is backlash and thumping from the rear diff when coming on and off throttle or changing gear; I finally sorted it.
