damn I wish I had orderd a BRZ quickly

http://www.carpoint....63801&silo=1011

that's a lot of mark-up for a demo model

I ordered mine last night finally, test drive left me grinning from ear-to-ear :D Optioned it up so it's on par with the 86 GTS in terms of price, but the BRZ has a much nicer front and interior.

What sort of wait you looking at Julie?

They dealer said 9 months but the website quotes 12 months. I'm cool with 9-12 months.

I've ordered a WRC Blue Mica BRZ Premium Pack (leather/alacantra heated seats) with optional rear diffuser and floor mats. I hope the mod bug doesn't hit me too hard, it's such a fun car to drive.

Hahahaha, I'm not that tacky :P There's an absolute bucketload of kits already developed and in development - both supercharger kits and turbo kits. They have so much untapped potential, they're a pretty high comp motor. Small turbo, 8PSI, bigger direct injectors, fuel management system and the power jumps from 103rwkw to 216rwkw which I don't think anyone would be dissapointed with. I wouldn't be heading down the forced induction route until the warranty period is up because I value the warranty & free servicing for 3 years and the long term reliability remains to be seen. The yanks have extracted even more power with minimal boost.

Epic congrats. The brz front and the blue look awesome. I was disappointed with the 86 gt interior. Built on a budget. Does the interior vary with the brz? Or the seat option the biggest standout?

Where you test drive and what was the final price? 38k?

The interior is different in the BRZ, the dash panel is silver rather than fake carbon fibre. The instrument cluster is classier - black with silver edging and digital speed readout like the GTS.

I test drove it at Subaru Interactive Docklands. They have two available for test drive - one auto Black and one manual Blue. My auto Premium Pack + diffuser + mats worked out to $42,225 drive-away.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
