I finally have an ETA (and a VIN!) on my BRZ of around July 30th. So if you see a black MT BRZ Limited starting around then, that'll probably be me.

So what is the point of putting a turbo kit on that car? I can't wait for the first one to grenade from someone getting happy with turning the boost up!

There's not a point haha. That's what Jesse (Wilson!) was saying previously.

Or at least, that's my take on it. Typically you can follow the money and figure out why companies do what they do.
Makes perfect business sense. And you're dead-on about following the money--a lot of stupid things make sense when you do this.

"One downside to the BRZ STI is that there will be no turbocharged version offered. Subaru says there is no space for it in the engine bay and they are reserving these version for models like the WRX STI."

50hp is a pretty good bump in power. I think that will be enough of a kick in the pants.

Yep, I didn't even think about the power to weight ratio, just the percentage gain in hp.

So do you think it would be 'enough' for what the car needs to be more competitive with other cars in it's price range?

Those sound like the gains of a typical intake, header, and exhaust.

i think i'd wait for 50 hp n/a instead of throwing a grenade under the hood while killing any hope of a warranty.

Impressive Widebody 2JZ FR-S / 86 Build From Thailand

Here’s what looks to be a very impressive widebody 2JZ FR-S / 86 build from Impression Garage in Thailand.

It’s said to have been finished in a mere 4 weeks, working around the clock. Check out the video footage after the jump.

It'll be sitting at Landers Mclarty until Monday, due to the service dept being closed. They have been letting people sit in it, no drives though.
