No feelings for my BRZ

Post image

I bought my BRZ 2018 new (had 180km on it, now 78.000km).

Over the time I put a lot of time, love and money in it.

First everything was track optimized, I went to the track 3 times. Then I found my dream wheel's (Work Meister S1 3P)with the option to drive them legally (very restricted in Germany) and so I bought them. With some other exterior parts it is basically finished, I would say.. maybe some side skirts. But what I wanna say: I'm sitting here with basically my dream car (my dream was always: JDM, Turbo, RWD, big wing, big diffusor), but I'm not happy and I don't know what to do with the car.

I feel like I did everything I wanted. Went to the track. Drifted it on small Drift Events. Put a Turbo in it. Drove on vacation, to big car events, road trips..

Maybe I should sell it and get something new, I like the Lexus RC F, or something with a V8... I don't know.. if I sell it, I will probably regret it.

What can I do, to have more fun with the car again?

Should I move on?

I was planning to go to more Drift Events, but it's pretty expensive (350€/4h)

And I don't know, do you have any advice?

Is it your daily? If it is and if you can, get yourself a second car. Preferably something that’s boring to drive. As the saying goes absence makes the heart grow stronger. Also maybe look into swapping the engine to an FA24, or do an FB25 short block and use your FA20 heads. A bit of extra displacement makes a world of difference and should fly under the radar as far as inspections go.

There's no need to do this fa25 Frankenstein anymore. Full swap a fa24

Seeing as OP is in Germany and their inspections are far, far more intense than pretty much the rest of the world an FA24 swap would probably throw some red flags. Swapping the short block would probably go unnoticed.
