Nice one. Just wait till you have a few miles on the clock - they loosen up nicely. evil
It's an ex-demo, so already got 3k miles on it.

(5 year warranty - what could possibly go wrong!)

I *do* need to paint the calipers, as they do look a bit crap as they are

I know that it is pathetic, but watching a car one is thinking of buying looking good on the internet means quite a lot....

Around 4.05 is just epic!

Had mine a month and still love it, best car I've ever had. Either some trickery is going on with the front wheels or its a magic chassis lol.

Two weeks to sort out a complex ecu problem with mine, very professional. Japanese enigneers were even coming out to see the cars. In contrast BMW took eight months to sort out a simple dashboard problem and even after all that time it still wasn't fixed. I got so used to crappy French and German car customer service I was starting to think they were all like that.

Welcome to PH. thumbup
You may like to introduce yourself in Readers' Cars - we've not had many GT86/BRZ in there yet.

Remap, Milltek exhaust and some brake improvements

Sounds great, goes better
I'm really interested in feedback on this upgrade. Does it make big difference?

Remap and zaust; not a big difference but worth having, more subtle than your average turbo remap.

Brakes worth doing for track day types but otherwise stock items are fine for the job.

Wheels and tyres; I prefer the car on slightly wider lower profile rubber.

Picked up my BRZ on Saturday. Still running in (sub 4k rpm, boo!), but it feels great so far. The much maligned Pioneer satnav seems OK too!

Great to see another BRZ owner on PH, as opposed to the common as muck GT86 wink I haven't seen another BRZ on the road yet.
First mod to make is to cut a lego tyre in half and put on the satnav dial to stop it being impossible to grasp.
Hope you enjoy yours as much as I like mine

First mod will probably be to fit the Toyota armrest.

£77 to drill some holes! smile

I suppose what you are paying for is insurance, in case they get it wrong. Must admit, I will be slightly nervous when I drill that first hole in my centre console...

I don't think I posted a pic of mine yet...



A nice chap called Brian Deegan owns the pic though!

Please excuse the carpet protection film on the side! Served its purpose well until I parked the rear end on top of the tyres. mad

It was easier drifting the Evo on R888's!
