BRZ-123

Best is to call TD and check for definite before you buy. Presumably you have a remus axle back not catback. On a different topic, how does that sound, any clips? Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

You get 45K from these tyres easily with regular rotation and road driving. I do that kind of miles up and down the M way and took me 3 + yrs and I was still at 3 mm. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

Tell me more please. First time I have heard of a limited BRZ in the UK. Where can I find more details? Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

And did you find a massive change between sprintex and Cossie or very similar?@Rich196 Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

They do indeed. Just that it works out slightly more expensive than TD as it is not a package deal and labour is more expensive in south of england. It can save a lot of travel time and energy for some. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

Hi Martin, why does the before graph show a big torque dip considering you already have a TD manifold and catback? Confused. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

Same here. Temptations abound Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

Am sure there was not much of sleep last night [emoji6] The exciting day has arrived. Drive safe! Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

Excellent news and exciting time ahead. Look forward to your write ups after that!

Merc used to have Kompressor based SC engines. Now they are very limited to SL55AMG and CL55 AMG ultra high performance models. https://www.mercedes-benzretailgroup.co.uk/mercedes-benz-cars/about-us/faqs/kompressor/

They (Lotus and Jag) do indeed. They inherit this capability due to their old association with Ford and using their american tech. They also have ford's patented windscreen clear tech which i absolutely love for frozen windscreens in winters ( Sorry off topic!)

@MartinTI am very curious on the SC Mini but when i went looking , the petrol ones are turbocharged not Supercharged from what i can see as i rarely see OEM fitted superchargers in this part of the world. Was it the older models? https://www.mini.co.uk/en_GB/home/explore/mini-engine-technology/engines.html# https://www.parkers.co.uk/mini/hatchback/review/engines/

It is all relative. It is not perfect but is better than turbo lag and then boom comes the power, and a lot of it. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

I get what you are trying to say and agree to most of it. Some things are really media propagated and do not work in real life exactly the way you describe. Take fuel economy for example as you mention it is far worse in our cars, not true https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/toyota/gt86-2012 35.4 for the manual GT Vs 37.4 for the fiesta ST https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/ford/fiesta-st-2018 And this is how real world works though test MPGs will show you what you read of it aka huge difference between Na and turbo whether its WLTP or NEDC. Turbos have to run rich to cool the engine while on boost, otherwise physics does not work of igniting more air fuel in the same confined space and producing more heat inspite of all the cooling you do. Subaru have the 2.4L engine from the ascent (FA24F) pr the 2.5L from the outback (FB25D) to use and can de turbo it , a bit like the wrx turbo (FA20F) and the brz NA (FA20D) engines. Am sure they will add a GPF ( gasoline particulate filter) like most modern petrol cars now do and a bit akin to DPFs of old and we should be scraping through is my understanding. NA still has a place and this car will benefit from the linearity of throttle response rather than the on off switch of a turbo. Let's wait and watch what the future has in store for us. Looking forward to it. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

@spikyone Fair generalisation but its competitor , Mazda is still squarely into NA petrols and the new SPCCIas an additional option but not for MX5 and have not eliminated NA. Subaru still have NA engines in their Impreza, and XV. The advantage a turbo has is only during traffic light idling where the small displacement engines naturally consume less fuel. As soon as the turbo gets spooling, it all equalises or even gets worse in a turbo application. Manufacturers have to meet regulations across their product range not every particular make and model, IIRC. So i believe it will still be an NA.

The latest from Engineering explained on why not a Turbo...Just having a bit of fun as this was posted yesterday.

I keep thinking long and hard about going FI and restrain myself primarily for budget reasons. But having said that, i think more than the real turbo vs supercharger , the desire to modify and make the car personalised and unique is the key driver for most people, unless its a track car. And UK still being a part of EU, the use of Turbos has always been a common manufacturer driven approach here (for CO2 reasons) and hence most people gravitate to that as a known approach. Super is very much an American concept and quite alien here as very few come from the factory with it (Range Rovers, Jags are the only exceptions i remember, but they were owned by Ford and have inherited that from there). I still struggle with real life use cases where more power (Turbo or SC) will be beneficial on a public road (except the emotional use case). 😀

Bulldog are great at handling modified cars. Every Impreza / WRX STi had it's own mods and their staff are enthusiasts. Speak to David / Kelvin and let them know. Also 5W-30 is a recommended OE oil for our cars anyway Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

Welcome. Happy motoring! Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

Well done you. Look forward to your clips and dyno charts. Happy miles and smiles Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

Lovely OEM brakes and not BBK. Why modify then? Your logic is very inconsistent, I have to say. I will say no more as you are out with a sword today (ducksforcover) Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

You are on a mission today. So I better not encourage you. Volvo displays , Tesla displays, your kind of thing? Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

It should be further away, something like this below. If you think it's not clearing, you might need to go to a welder and get it bent into shape as clearly touching and heat will not be good for sub frame. Have you used fresh OEM mounting bushing or old ones? Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

My 2015 MY BRZ came with the 65Ah battery installed from factory and has a subaru alarm. Not sure how different it is to Toyotas but I go out on holiday for 3 weeks at a time and it starts first time. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk
