I had a replacement from Subaru after the first one became useless. Replacement now becoming pants too.
-
There are a few operators who run track days; I've used Bookatrack and Destination Nurburgring. Bit more pricey buy fewer fruit loops and more disciplined.
-
Mark at Abbey has been doing a lot of work on oiling for me; pressure, flow, cooling, sump and fallback. Just a bit more work on the Accusump and then some track time to test.
-
Stickier, forced induction; track days; what have you done about oil surge?
-
Lots of good advice in the above posts, and if you are planning to drop the hammer whilst there, then; do track days before your first Ring trip do some prep; learn the sections of the track and layout using videos or games to gain some familiarity understand the financial risks re being uninsured if you drive TF in your uk road insured car; paralyse a biker or knock a GT3, could cost you VERY big I've done TF and track days there and I'd say TF' especially if busy (hols, weekends, adjacent Motorsport events) is the more dangerous way to drive it. Or coast aroung round with the coaches👍
-
Closer to WR Blue with each iteration too. Getting uglier too; a well established Subaru design path lol.
-
Brz suspension tuning on your new yota 86 for sure. Presume the gash front end is to create corporate identity with some forthcoming ( equally gash ) front end . Not enough for me to switch brands.;)
-
keith, we must have that beer soon; hopefully you are well.
-
Keep going pitman; great project.
-
Always driven it a bit on the road. Don't get me wrong the 2500s are great, fade free track stoppers, just the squealing got on my goat after a while. Dodgy batch; aversion to my AP rotors, not sure on why they were so noisy on my car. Let's meet for a bevy and I'll show you my just completed hks build and new oiling system.
-
that's all you need, and when it comes to pads just a touch more; don't go too aggressive.
-
I found 2500s a bit squealy ( on my AP set up.) So got rid and currently running Hawk fast road set up which whilst slightly down on bite is massively down on squeal. I'd tread carefully with brake mods as the stock set up is pretty good.

Sorry to hear that Keith
-
A very good car with appeal significantly limited by price and styling.

Are you still chunnelling; was considering zeebrugge given the current difficulties? -
I'd still favour a nice set of bride buckets over these, although unless you go pricey, it's tricky to save weight. Quite like the ts but it's a shame they haven't focussed on weight ( esp if they ain't doing power.) Unobtainium parts like the carbon gt sti wing from the previous version have had a habit of becoming obtainium.

Soon be time to blame the operator
-
Oysters and wine; yikes
-
Nice work Kev. What spec are you running?
-
Almost 3 years to the day, that my brz left the forecourt
-
Some good advice on this thread; I'd go for a tuner who is currently active on this car. Understanding of the motor has moved on since the LPP came to market a couple of years back now.
-
Nothing wrong with bog standard base spec
-
Keith; Mark and I are very focused on managing this issue I think anyone who tracks their car, has any degree of g enhancing goodies, or heat producing ones for that matter, needs to be conversant with the risks as laid out in this great thread.
