Mooncaller's and Contrary's 2014 Subaru BRZ - Cagalli Yula

[hasty sentinel]

Nothing that exciting for the most part. Just some quality of life and mild improvements so that we can use it on autocross and track.
It used to be a daily, but now it's just a hobby vehicle.
This is the car @latent schooner and I use most.

My first new car, bought in January 2014.

Fun fact, @latent schooner helped me with the down payment. We were not yet even engaged. I never paid her back...

Yes, once upon a time I wrote a one week review.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2014/01/cagalli-yula-one-week-review.html

First oil change at 970 miles.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2014/01/cagalli-yula-first-oil-change.html

And about a month into ownership I got hit by a Canadian National Railroad truck.

The car next to a truck at the gas pump is a Mercury Mariner, which which is the size of a first gen Mazda Tribute / Ford Escape.

More photos of the damage.

Even more photos of the damage.

Getting my very new car repaired.

I still have this wheel as a spare... It's moved with us a lot.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2014/04/geico-autometric-collision-ferndale.html

Moved from MI to DE and towed the car.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2014/07/moving-and-towing.html

I bought and installed the JPM Coachworks knee pads. The hard plastic that came as stock sucked.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2014/11/cagalli-yula-jpm-coachworks-knee-pad.html

Apparently shortly there after we did a road trip with them and I wrote notes.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2014/11/cagalli-yula-jpm-coachworks-knee-pad_10.html

Having fun on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Also, my first video editing. It's not great.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2014/12/cagalli-yula-and-blue-ridge-parkway.html

I started using Fuelly and backfilled all my gas tanks.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2015/03/fuelly.html

First of many times having paint chips repaired.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2015/05/cagalli-yula-paint-chip-repair.html

We took our car to a three day glamping trip.
This is the first post to get tagged with "Packing" which is a series on just how practical of a car a Twin actually is.
We had a foam mattress, size full, in the rear.

My first time having one of my cars professionally detailed.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2015/07/cagalli-yula-full-detail.html

We went to a hike race called Megatransect. It was 26+ miles up and over mountains in western PA.
A truck of some sort kicked up a rock into our windshield.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2015/08/cagalli-yula-cracked-windshield-and-on.html

So we had the windshield replaced and I took photos of the process.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2015/09/cagalli-yula-windshield-replacement.html

Got hit by a Toyota RAV4 driver.
New driver side door, for the second time. Car is about 2 years old at this point.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2016/01/cagalli-yula-and-toyota-rav4-meet.html

Got the damage repaired.
Also got a new circular polarizing filter and wrote up some about how useful they are. I think the ability to minimize glare off windows or paint is great for automotive photography.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2016/02/geico-cavallo-auto-body-chadds-ford.html

An email exchange with me lamenting the Subaru was killing manual car options and saving higher end features only for automatic vehicles.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2016/04/making-it-yours-so-long-as-it-isnt.html

And possibly because I wrote a complain letter Subaru sent me a Subaru branded Dyson vacuum?
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2016/04/random-gift-from-subaru.html

@latent schooner bought me the JPM Coachworks one piece dash panel.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2016/04/cagalli-yula-jpm-coachworks-dash-panel.html

At this point I was still having dealerships do the oil changes.
To make sure that my filter was changed I would mark them.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2016/04/marking-your-oil-filter.html

Another professional detail.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2016/08/i-had-car-detailed-by-on-site-detailing.html

We decided to get a phone holder. We bought one from ProClip.
We've been really happy with it and have been using it since September 2016.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2016/09/cagalli-yula-subaru-brz-proclip-angled.html

At about 2.75 years of ownership had my first Krown treatment.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2016/09/cagalli-yula-line-x-of-cumberland.html

Moved from DE to FL then from FL to MA.
At some point in here got the car ceramic coated.
Then, my parents visited.
Three people in the car, a TON of groceries. One more for the practicality bin.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2017/06/grocery-shopping-with-subaru-brz.html

Got a GrimmSpeed front license plate relocation kit.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2017/08/grimmspeed-front-license-plate.html

60 month service and did Motul for the transmission oil and Project Mu for the brake fluid.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2019/01/cagalli-yula-60-month-service-fluids.html

More packing photos, and me explaining how this car is much more practical than a Miata.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2019/03/the-answer-is-not-always-miata.html

At this point I was doing annual Krown treatments since 2016.
I take the visits as an opportunity to examine the underside of the vehicle.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2019/08/cagalli-yula-gillys-auto-krown-rust.html

Ceramic coating reapplication and a photo shoot in a parking garage.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2019/08/c-quartz-review-reapplication.html

Same parking garage, just day time.
And I was playing with over exposure and under exposure more for fun.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2019/08/c-quartz-reapplication-photography.html

We retired the all seasons I had on the car since taking delivery.
We put on snow tires on the stock wheels.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2019/10/cagalli-yula-snow-tires.html

And then ordered new wheels.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2020/03/cagalli-yula-new-wheels-ordered.html

Got our Gram Lights.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2020/03/cagalli-yula-wheels-delivered.html

Gram Lights installed.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2020/08/cagalli-yula-wheels-installed.html

Annual rust proofing trip.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2020/08/cagalli-yula-gillys-auto-krown-rust.html

Changed out the brake pads, brake rotors, and brake lines.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2021/08/cagalli-yula-brake-pads-rotors-and.html

More Krown.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2021/09/cagalli-yula-gillys-auto-krown-rust.html

Spinning the car out at autocross.
Someone had a dash recording.
https://mooncallercars.blogspot.com/2021/10/fall-2021-autocross-events.html

Buying a new computer case and a small air compressor.
So practical!
