This Silverstone E92 M3 came to us needing some trackprep love. Putting in our custom RWE roll bar, RWE APR custom front splitter along with an Arkym ARK007 lip, and a good old corner balance with alignment!
Kicking off my "ReColor" series for this week is my BRZ! Seen in white and in the iconic world rally blue! Which one is your favorite?
In real life, I usually prefer cars in white as it shows the most contrast against the car's details such as grills, vents, and carbon accents. I think the white works well here, but would look much different in real life compared to these renders. The blue looks ok, but is not my favorite. If we want it to be like Subaru's world rally blue, it should be a bit darker. Overall, I think choosing to build the BRZ in dark bluish gray was a great choice! Fun fact, I did that because most of the parts I originally had were in that gray.

We recently decided to do more testing and headed over to Big Willow this past weekend! Snowball was ripping it up as usual.

What if we want to go... faster? Here is version 2.0 of my Subaru BRZ, modified to be ready for the track! After watching people modify their cars, I wanted to further modify my BRZ. Let's discuss the new mods.
To go fast, we need more power and aero! First, we have a massive APR Performance wing. I then replaced the old bumper diffuser with an actual one. At the front, we have a larger front splitter. We now have new Varis front fenders for additional aero. The rear fenders have a new vent inspired by the Rallybacker V2 kit. We also have a new Varis hood, which has much larger vents for cooling. Also, the car has new lighter weight wheels!
To add more power, let's pretend it is now tuned on E85. To compensate for that, we have an oil cooler to keep temps down. I also replaced the dual exit exhaust with a single exit. Additionally, the old air suspension has been replaced with coilovers. And the trunk now has a bottle of NOS! With more power, we now have a sequential transmission, and you can see the new shifter for it. I also added a hydro hand brake. Both were inspired by watching the cars in @formulad like @adam_lz's S15.
In the interior, I replaced the gauge cluster with a fully digital one. The center AC vent has been replaced with a switch panel. The seats are now changed to Sparco halo bucket seats for additional safety. Speaking of safety, there is a fire extinguisher on the passenger side and we have red tow hooks in the front and rear of the car.
Now we are ready to go to the track!
This was very fun modifying my BRZ and is why I love designing Lego cars so much. It's similar to building an actual car. You can add any wheels, wings, and bumpers that you like to your car. You just need to build it!
But, what if we want to go... EVEN faster?
Version: v2.0
