@@KonkrRoads I plan to put an AWE Touring catback exhaust on it and maybe a splitter on the front. I am also considering getting a different set of wheels with more of an all weather tire installed. None of that really requires making it past break-in though. I guess the only plans I have for after break-in is to drive it a little harder than I do during break-in.

I just got the tall Cobb knob for xmas. And I have to say I did not like it, primarily because of the height. With my arm positioned so low already in the BRZ, it felt a little odd to reach to the top of the knob (especially since I like to palm the shifter at the top on occasion, especially for slow lazy shifts in town. It really felt too tall in those cases). Has anyone used the low Cobb knob? Is it about the same height as the stock knob? If so, I might exchange the tall one for the shorter one as I do like the Delrin material and the look with the Red trim ring. I really thought I would like the tall Cobb as we have it in the 2004 WRX wagon I share with my son. However, he put in the short shift kit and the tall shifter works better for me in that application. Appreciate any thoughts....
@KonkrRoads 5 күн бұрын
I haven't used the short, but it did take a few weeks for me to adapt to the tall. Perhaps give it a bit of time? I did pick up a new shift knob for Christmas that is still tall, but will sit lower as it doesn't need a lockout adapter. We'll see how it goes 🤙

Excellent video, and nice delivery. Good change from all the hyper-frenetic videos that are everywhere. Question #1: Has anyone found a reasonable performance tire for my '23 BRZ Limited that eliminates most of the howl and noise from stock Michelin Pilot Sport 4's? Ive swapped to Conti Ext. Contact tires, and they still howl. Question #2: On-center steering in my car is strange. When turning , there is NO self-centering effect, so the car just continues to turn, with hands off the wheel. Makes it hard to continue down a straight highway without constant micro-adjustments to the wheel. Anyone else experience this?
@KonkrRoads 11 күн бұрын
thanks Dennis. Concerning the howl noise, the debate is still open whether tires or a reverberation from the strut tower braces is the main culprit. I'll be doing a video series on sound reduction starting in January to get to the bottom of all this. For self-centering, my understanding is caster plays the critical role and isn't something we can adjust less we add caster/camber plates. I recommend, though, taking your car in for an alignment; I see a bunch of folks on the forums showing slight toe-out on the rear wheels from the factory which certainly reduces highway speed stability. Getting the front wheels to 0.00 and 0.10 toe-in per each rear wheel is where I like to be. I do notice a lack of self-centering but nothing alarming.

Im surprised you haven't swapped those incandescent bulbs out for led options in the dome console.. I also swapped the reverse lights out for super bright led options and they greatly improved reverse camera vision at night. I realise the US version doesn't get folding side mirrors which is unfortunate because I put a window lift/side mirror fold relay kit in the door so it folds the mirrors and lifts the windows on lock and opens mirrors on unlock.. so good for looking at the car from a distance to know you locked it. Also I swapped the puddle lights for these metre long led strips that have a cool flash cycle to them, red along the upper door and white along the underside to light up the ground.. only cost 10 bucks.
