There's limited numbers around to test drive and they're being really protective of them. All metro Toyota dealers pretty much have one that I spoke to but it might not be the model or transmission you want, or they don't want you to drive it. The BRZ there's even less around but Subaru Docklands were happy for people to test drive it. And that's more surprising given the way you have to order them and they might not see anything from the sale (if you nominate to get it delivered to another dealer.)

hehe went on the subaru website and made up my dream order. Came out $40k driveaway. With spoiler, floor mats and the diffuser. Find it weird how there is no haggling, just accept the price down to the 12cents. Also says 13+ months waiting on all variants lol

There's no room to haggle on these cars at the moment anyway, demand outweighs supply by a huge amount so no dealer is going to give you a price reduction. What it stops is dealers marking up over RRP by upping dealer delivery charges, etc. which is what some Toyota dealers have been doing. You only need to look at the phantom cars on Carsales to realise - these cars don't exist, they're getting people to call up and they say "oh sorry, we don't have any GTS. Oh but look, we have a GT, here you can have it for xxx (over retail price) right now." So at least you don't have to deal with any of that bullshit. When I ordered on Saturday it said 12+ months so it's gone up a month on the website. The Subaru dealership itself was quoting a shorter lead time (approx. 9 months) but we'll see. I've put a clause in my contract that I can pull out if the wait extends past 12 months. Just waiting for confirmation of my contract acceptance, hopefully tomorrow!

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
