Surprising our SUBSCRIBER with his DREAM CAR BUILD! (Full Transformation): 2014 Subaru BRZ

  Alex was recently announced as the winner for throtl Dream Build #2! As the winner of #throtldreambuild2, Alex got his car shipped out to San Diego California to be fully modified by the throtl team. When Alex's car arrived, it was a mostly-stock 2014 Subaru BRZ. As soon as the car arrived at the throtl headquarters, the team immediately got to work on some modifications. Alex's car got the works with some new interior, exterior, and performance-based modifications. Interior Modifications For the interior of the BRZ, we installed a custom black suede headliner, throtl shift knob, and a new audio system from OEM Audio+. The OEM Audio+ system sounds significantly better than the factory audio system. This made it way more enjoyable to listen to music in the BRZ. The Opelite Optics headliner had a space theme with led shooting stars that lit up the roof of the BRZ, adding a nice bit of style to the interior.

Building a Modern Day (Fast & Furious) 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse - Part 10

 

The Eclipse build continues! Ever since getting the Mitsubishi Eclipse back from BCC Unlimited with a fresh coat of paint, it's been all hands on deck at the throtl HQ.

In today's episode of throtl, we install a heap of new parts onto our 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX. Starting with the subframe, we went with a tubular subframe from NDD Motorsports. Branching off from the subframe, we reinstalled the differential and continued to install aftermarket control arms and new axles. From there, we restored the wheel hubs by removing any rust and repainting the surroundings. finally, we reinstalled the sway bars and threw on a new set of EBC brake rotors and pads.

After getting the subframe and its surrounding parts installed, the boys proceed to install some air struts on the car. We decided to go with Universal Air Suspension, the same suspension that we put on Evan's GTR. We chose the Universal Air struts because they provide a lot of options for how we want to set the ride height on the car. The adjustability of the air suspension is perfect for us to fit aggressive wheels and tires while having the car slammed on the ground.

After getting the new air struts installed, the boys install the rear over-fenders and APR wing. Finally, we put some temporary wheels and tires on the car and get it on the ground.

This thing is looking wicked and we cannot wait to see what happens after we get our HRE wheels!
