MrH's BRZ Thread

My eyes are sensitive now because I wear sunglasses. I was fine before I started wearing them.

Craig posted a thread about it.  Didn't want to high jack it.

Black roof actually looks really good on this.  I'm not going to both though for awhile.  Just thought it was interesting.

I like that. I think it makes the car look lower.

You could "dip your car" for just the black roof?  removable if you don't like it..

My roof and the one pictured are vinyl! You can just peel it off like window tint if you get tired of it.

My roof is black already.  And it folds away in 8.5 seconds.  I'm glad I don't have to deal with this vinyl wrapping nonsense like you fixed roof people.

My roof came vinyl wrapped from the factory.

Factory black roof here

DynoFAIL!  Chassis dynos suck.  That car made no more horsepower than stock.  Nobody does it better than the factory.

I don't put much value in the dyno numbers.  But yeah, that kind of acceleration is something it can't do stock, that's for sure.

Mine takes 4 seconds.

This needs to happen immediately.

Seems like the car had a heck of a time keeping the rear tires from going up in smoke not just in 1st, but in 2nd, and 3rd.  Seemed like as soon as the turbo spooled, the tires let go.  Saw a guy in a turbo'ed NA Miata that behaved similarly.  He could barely keep it in a straight line at the AutoX because the car would fall off the boost in the corners and then spool back up, explosively, on corner exit and send the thing fish-tailing.

I will take Definitions of "Fun" for $1000, Alex.

Removing tint usually involves a heat gun, and a razor blade.  Not convinced that it's easy to remove, personally.  Not that I have a problem with applying it, though.

A bit  more power than I'd go for, but awesome anyway.

Seems like ~280-300 would be just about perfect.

That's running E85.  I'm thinking 7 psi on 93 octane could be around there.

It'll be a bit before people get something reliable and together for a reasonable price.  Hopefully we'll find out the details on the STI by then.  I'd rather get it from the factory.

[S204STi]

Yeah, ditto that.  Even 260 at the crank, in that car, would be mind-numbing.  Would be nice especially with a factory warranty.

I'm hoping 300 at the crank in the STI.  If they hit that naturally aspirated...

[S204STi]

w0w.

I wonder if they would make a run at the S2000 model and just bore that new motor out to 2.2 and rev it sky-high to get even 240-250 out of it.  I would assume that's possible.  And also awesome.

How fast can you do it without getting inside the car?   

Although damn, the NC smiley edition looks so good compared to the dinky looking NA.

How fast does your practical family coupe put the top down?   

I mean, your car is HUGE.  166.7 inches long?  What's the EPA size classification, light truck? 









My car is 161" long.

159 inches, bitch.

159 inches, bitch.

Yeah, but it's like 30 feet tall.

Yeah, but it's like 30 feet tall.   

Only with the top down.

How fast does your car put up it's torsional rigidity?  What's that?!  NEVAR?!  THAT'S RIGHT, BECAUSE IT'S INFERIOR!!!
