Dylan Mercier picked up his 2013 Subaru BRZ as a replacement for his RX-8 which suffered a catastrophic engine failure. He kept the BRZ stock for a while, as he wanted to learn the car inside and out before making any serious modifications. Once Mercier started acquiring mods, he wanted to put his own twist on things as he installed them himself.
