Dear all, As many will know, Rob, Keith, Alec and I setup this club back in April 2013. Many years have passed and we now find ourself in the situaiton where we would like to put out to find replacement directors. Alec has been lost to Elite Extreme, Rob sold his car years ago and Keith is finding himself far less involved with the club than he used to. I as many know have a new car on order, a GR Yaris, but I am happy to stay on as I have so many friends I've made through the club and am still around for day to day running of the club. I also want to ensure continuity. What does being a director involve? We are directors of a not for profit limited company. This means that as a director you have limited liability in the unlikely event that some disgruntled person decides to sue the club, it means they cannot sue you directly. Important for your own protection, unfortunately. I want to see new directors, for which there are three available position, take the club forward. We have a new GT86 to look forward to next year and it's fair to say that the club has grown very well and we are well established in the show and motorsport scene. It will mean that a director (though you can delegate to committee members) will need to take care of the club accounts and paypal accounts and we will also need someone to cover the club clothing side and the like. Further work is needed with affiliates to ensure they pay their dues as we rely on trader fees and membership to pay for the running of the club. I welcome any questions and I would say it's very rewarding sometimes. I am also very proud of what we have achieved in the last seven years and I'd love to see it continue.

Although it looks like some aftermarket thing it's actually the standard DAB aerial fitted to the later models. Not the most attractive addition.

So the car made it onto the dyno yesterday for tuning 😀 Pretty pleased with the results, made just over 11psi, and the torque curve holds nicely from just beyond 4,500 rpm up to 6250 rpm which is mapped really nicely for a centrifugal charger IMHO. Peak power comes in around 6250 - 6750 rpm so means I won't have to chase the redline to get the best out of it on track and hopefully will keep me in the range of good oil pressures too.

I enjoyed installing my STI front lip. My advice is to use an electric screwdriver and hex-base drill bits to drill the holes with easy control and slow speed. The fit is very good but the templates are not all correct for the facelift BRZ - double-check by offering up the lip and marking through its holes.

Lots of these bits look great. Is it going to be ok with matt skirts and glossy carbon finish on the wing?

Day 77 More parts from Japan, this time a full STI kit including front lip, sideskirts and rear bumper trims. All finished in a satin/matt black finish and will be fitted as they are. Glad I went for the genuine bits over rep parts as they should fit no issue, even if they hit my wallet hard: Side Skirts STI BRZ Parts by James Baker, on Flickr Front Lip STI BRZ Parts by James Baker, on Flickr Rear Bumper Trim STI BRZ Parts by James Baker, on Flickr I also have black controls so I can remove the silver ones to work better with my theme: STI BRZ Parts by James Baker, on Flickr
