    I guess I'm settling into the groove of my 40-mile commute down the M3 and trying to 'make progress' without driving like a moron. My mileage has just reached a new peak of 32.5mpg. Not bad with a Harrop on board.

    Tomei Duracon Shift Knob Type-SS

    A simple enough modification, and inexpensive at £35, I have swapped out the standard shift knob for a Tomei SS, and I bloody love it. If it cost twice as much I'd still consider it good value, it's made changing gear a much nicer experience, looks tasteful, and has got rid of an annoying squeak the standard one had. 10/10 - would recommend

    K-sport brake info

    I use PB Brakes which are made in the same factory as K-sport & D2 brakes (And they're cheaper!) and as far as I'm aware yes, when you specify the larger disk size it's all the same gear just with a different bracket.

    This resonates with me, in all my years buying and driving cars, the aesthetics/beauty has been very important, as such, I've always bought sports cars. Hatchbacks hold no interest for me, the GT86 is pretty much the perfect car for my needs

    For interest: A recent comment from Matt at Cosworth regarding the use of the Cosworth smaller pulley - and I quote: "when developing the kit I had the use of cylinder pressure measurement so this gave a real-time measurement of how much stress the rod and piston was under and the stock pulley was arrived at to give a healthy 10% safety margin from where the theoretical limit of the rod isthe smaller pulley bumps up the cylinder pressure to just below this limit but not beyondto my knowledge those whom are running the smaller pulley have had no issues to date"

    Yes, exactly that. People who also think that power is the only important number and then tell me that some uninspiring hatch-box is better because it has more power. If I wanted a hatch-box I could leave my appreciation of beauty behind and buy any one of 30 different models most of which look the same. There is only one 86/BRZ and we know why we drive them.
