Drove the 4Runner down to pick this up. It is a 2015 Subaru BRZ Limited. Super excited! I chose the Subaru badge over Scion due to the ability to get the Limited with upgraded features.
Over the weekend I'll be adding some more weight. This had arrived this morning.
Hitched up the old Thumper last Friday morning and headed up into the Cascade Mountains of Washington - specifically the 27th annual Winthrop Rhythm and Blues Festival. Made the usual coffee and viewpoint stops, watched the tranny fluid get too hot, and finally set up camp at the "Blues Ranch" in the beautiful Methow Valley. Some great bands Friday evening and all day Saturday and Sunday. Most notable perhaps was the inimitable Charlie Musselwhite, and of course the Pacific Northwest's own Polly O'keary playing the bass guitar as only she can do it. Sad to think that the recently departed Johnny Winter played here just last year.
You..... :shakes fist:
Where's mine?!?!?! ARG![]()
[MENTION=80158]dsfra[/MENTION] this may be of interest to you-
Which tranny temp are you monitoring with your Scanguage? There are 2 codes available: One at the torque converter, which rises and files rapidly, and one at the transmission pan, which gives a more accurate reading of the overall fluid temp.
I always have the pan temp displayed and display the torque converter values only when towing.
Here are the codes:
07E02182 046105820000 3808 00090005FFD8 (Torque Converter)
07E02182 046105820000 2808 00090005FFD8 (Transmission Pan)
Hope this helps- truck looks great too!
How do you like that A frame trailor!?!? Thinking about getting one. they seem pretty awesome.
Should love the BRZ. People always ask about when the turbo option is inc., but if you want a turbo, grab one of the new WRXs. The BRZ, [MENTION=91565]200 hp[/MENTION], feel way faster than you would otherwise imagine, simply b/c they are so effortless and fun to drive, and are so tight in the turns. If you are looking for a fun, relatively inexpensive car, that is an intuitive driver's car, you picked right. I came to my 4Runner from a '13 WRX, and drove a BRZ for a week when my car was in for work - loved it.
I love it and I have only had it for a couple days! As you mentioned, it is definitely a driver'a car. My wife and I wanted a car that was new, fun to drive, reasonable on price, and has upgraded features (ie, leather, Nav, Bluetooth audio, hid headlights, led daytime running lights, heated seats, etc). This fit the bill perfectly.
I am hesitant to drive it too much right now since I am having Durashield "clear bra" put on in about a week. This thing will take a beating being so low to the ground.
I don't have too many plans other than black wheels, led interior lights, weathertech liners, and window tint. I am not a big tuner guy so the stock motor should be fine for me................for now anyway, lol.
I think your big toe could feed a small village
Thats great, they really are fantastic cars. I have owned Subarus my entire life, and they are honestly some of the most well built cars out there.
Truth on being low to the ground - that will take some getting used to. Watch out when your pulling towards a curb or parking barrier haha!
If your looking for some inspiration on look, etc., check out NASIOC. The traffic on there makes this forum look like childsplay haha - alot of crap on there, but also some very quality builds, people, etc. Beautiful cars -
As for the tuning, yah, since its a N/A, unless you plan on pulling the block, your stuck with what you got. However, a full cat exhaust, and a N/A dyno tune should snag you some extra horses.
This guy has probably the most well known BRZ build over there - for some inspiration! jive's breeze - NASIOC
