The one there was the top spec "SE" (with Flappy paddle G/Box)

There are 3 choices of Spec for Trim plus 2 choices of G/boxes. 6MT gearbox or 6A/T Flappy paddle Auto

Top spec Flappy paddle = "SE" with Push start keyless entry etc. 6A/T. £27.5K
Top spec 6 speed manual = Type "S" with Push start keyless entry etc and 6MT gearbox. £26K
Mid spec Flappy paddle = Type "RE" without Push start keyless entry etc and 6A/T. £26K
Mid spec 6 speed manual = Type "R" without Push start keyless entry etc 6MT gearbox. £24.5K

Low spec = Type "RA" without alloys and Recaro seat etc price unknown(£20K ish) plus £1500 for flappy paddle

Prices are a rough guide

IIRC

Tony


Pricing it seems the manual box and no kelyess entry etc was roughly £25K with keyless etc £26K and Keyless etc and Flappy paddle gearbox £27.5K ish

Cosworth already have pistons and a Supercharger planned

IIRC there maybe room on for it right side of engine, as on the new MK2 engines the turbo will be sited there and have a FMIC. This leaves room for the electric toyota motor to be sited at rear of engine above the Gearbox(wher TMIC is fitted) for the hybrid version due out soon. so i was lead to believe wink

Does this car look like the Hyundai Coupe to anyone? They even offer it in the same blue, I realised the similararities today when one drove past me (a Hyundai).

No more than the STi looks like a Mondeo.

No.

I do kind of see where he is coming from but where the Hyundai falls down with FWD and not enough power the BRZ makes up with RWD and a better badge/spec.

What's the engine rated to? What power will it take before needing new internals?

Do we know if it's a closed deck block, and are the pistons up to it?
