Last trackday was so I could try the car out as close to stock as I could handle. Now that was done, it was time to throw some more bits I had been holding onto, onto the car.

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.
The day finally came, it was the BRZs turn on the track.
Before the first track day in the BRZ, I needed to give the brakes a going over so I knew they would withstand the beating I was about to give them.
With 190,000km on the clock, and little to no service history, I wanted to replace the PCV Valve as preventative maintenance, as this is the cause of a few issues others have had.
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.
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.
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.
In typical fashion, my plan didn’t work out, so now I’m onto Version Two of my oil pressure monitoring solution.
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.
