This is really exciting. You're building what I've been daydreaming about. I can't wait to watch your progress. I have a couple thoughts though. You mention the need to do a brake upgrade. I know at least some of the BRZ's got the performance package, which provided Brembo brakes. I was wondering if that isn't suitable for your uses, or I guess curious to know more about your intentions regarding brakes. Also, with the need for an upgraded clutch I wonder how that will improve pedal feel. Having owned an FRS, I know it was on the lighter side. The right choice could make for a really nice clutch pedal feel. Can't wait to see what you pick. Looking forward to seeing what you get into, and I really appreciate the level of detail you are going into.

Probably isn’t going to be a setting. The reverse switching is usually voltage controlled. Did you run the 12v feed from the back of the reverse light to the reverse trigger cable on the headunit? This is the issue that I had and I mentioned it in my video at the 8min mark. You need to supply 12v to the reverse trigger to tell the headunit you have put the car into reverse. Easiest way to do that is take power from the back of the reversing light.

@@leedfollow So, I was testing my evap solenoid and realized it doesn't have the issue where it is always opened. However, I realized it is not opening up even after about 5 minutes of running the engine (it is not sucking). I am assuming it is staying closed which is causing my CEL to come on. The passenger side of the evap solenoid should be open and i should be able to feel the sucking after running my engine on idle for awhile right?

Can't resist to nit pick. Most likely you over-torqued the bolts. Usually with click-style torque wrenches the force should be applied at the center of the grip handle. Closer you get to the pivot point the more torque will be applied for the wrench to click. But in this case + - 10% doesn't really matter.
