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.

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
