They are all here. There are 3 gt86s at work, and another 2 within a mile of my house lol A new front bumper is only £160+vat but with labour, paint etc that came to nearly £1300 when I enquired about getting it replaced at local Toyota dealership lol

I think the boot lid is less than £450 unpainted, but the 2017+ spoiler is £600+ BTW chances are you will have to travel to find your car.

GT86 is without spoiler, GT86 Pro has a spoiler with delete a free option. BRZ always has a spoiler. OE ones are easy to get as forum members sell theirs. So look out for one in your colour. The TRD ducktail can be stuck not OE. Drive it for a bit and get to know it before thinking of upgrades. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

When I was looking for a white BRZ there were only two to view in the whole country. Plymouth was closer (but not very close at all). I don't think I've ever seen one on the road, and GT86s are not that frequent a sighting, either.

The only BRZ model on sale is the SE Lux like mine. That comes with the facelift spoiler as standard.

The Toyota dealer sales guy that sold me mine went and checked for a price on getting the OEM spoiler fitted. He came back nearly speechless and shaking his head having been told by the parts department it would come in around £2k due to requiring a whole new bootlid! Needless to say I passed on that. Still deciding what aftermarket route I want to go.

Thankyou, fortunately I already have a decent Kenwood with good Garmin SatNav. Will definitely look up the Focal speakers. The bushing kit was recommended by a Toyota salesman. The specific kit is the Whiteline KDT922

You'll need to drill the boot to fit the OEM spoiler. But I'd definitely echo what has been said - why go for OEM when there's so much choice and imo better looking aftermarket ones. If you buy a car with a spoiler less boot, I'd be willing to bet it wouldn't be that hard to find someone that would want to swap for their one with the spoiler! I can't imagine a spoiler making a huge difference on insurance.

I'm not aware that the rear subframe bushings need upgrading. Personally I think the rest of your list sounds like a great place to start. After that I'd upgrade the front door and dash speakers. There's a Focal kit (IS165 IIRC)that's pretty much plug and play and sounds so much better than the stock speakers, for not a lot of money. I'd also not waste any money on the sat nav; it's useless.

If you get a plain boot put on what you like but wouldn’t put a oem spoiler on so many other choices

Yep I’ll be there Simon Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Scoobypedia discusses the Subaru knock mitigation algorithm in excruciating detail: http://scoobypedia.co.uk/index.php/Knowledge/SubaruKnockControlStrategyExplained The implication of your chart (very helpful apart from the axis autoscaling being useless sometimes) is that there are 4 knock events during your drive, possibly corresponding the some abrupt changes in throttle, although without particular pattern. The knock strategy does what it does around these events, but the response is hard to predict due to the complexity of the response. I can't say whether knock events are common or uncommon having not been able to log this myself.

...........of course if people bothered reading the Manual Lauren, then it's all explained in there what the buttons do [emoji14]

The next little bit of this year's upgrades arrived today

Not really. If you have it all the way back it heats up still, albeit slowly. As I've said many times before, RTFM. 👍
