MrH's BRZ Thread

Saw it, looks great.  How's it drive?

Un-fuckin-believable.  Better than I remember from the test drive.  A few points to note since my test drive:  exhaust is pretty loud stock, I love it.  Also, the steering is heavier than I remember.  It's pretty stiff suspension wise, but it's a million times better than the Miata.  The Miata would bob and weave all over the place.  This thing just absorbs and goes.   Also, the shift action may be my favorite ever.  Taller shifter, but very short shifts.  VERY direct, very clicky, very precise.  I like it more than the Miatas.

I don't like where the friction point is on the clutch.  It's reaaaaally high.  Easily adjustable though.  I got used to it pretty quickly too, but I'd rather have it closer to the floor.  I'll get to it this weekend.

leave your phone on the ground and drive at WOT straight over it or something cool like that. You've read that engine break-in page... it's good for you

Funny this is the best thing going on at CarSpin in 2012...

Rotary Miata is cooler, but this is way more satisfying at the moment.

Fun will begin after 1,000 miles.  I might take it out to the middle of Pennslyvania next week.  That'll get me past break in period.

[Rupert]

Yeah, I'd find a way to drive 1000 miles in the next two days.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Except highway crusing isn't great for breaking in.

Why is he so anal about not letting the dealership do the detailing?

As someone who worked at a dealer for 16 years I wouldn't let them do it if I could.

Hey, that shit cost money! I've got a trip to Florida to get done with then I'll start up again.

I want some pictures of this car please. I really want my girlfriend to get one so no matter what car we take it's a win-win for me.

Hey how do you have miata fog/driving lights wired? I am thinking I need to get some to be on all the time the car is running. But want a switch to kill them if I want.. But no room hardly anywhere for a switch!

I'm going to go freeze myself.  Someone thaw me when the video is up.
