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.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
