I wouldn't worry about it too much. I've got a BRZ with double front camber bolts (-2.5 degrees) and the OEM 15mm RSB off an 86. Those two mods were only ~$100 total and do a good job minimizing...

The Perrin exhausts are very durable. I've had mine for 10 years, 50,000 miles, close to 50 track days, and it's still going strong. Nice mellow sound to it.

Does that mean pulling the stock HX is worth 10 psi on a stock setup? If so, I'm going to pull it and add a dedicated OC. I know from the 1st gen that the Setrab 613 core is only about a 5 psi...

That’s kind of my point though. Blindly comparing two cars because they cost the same without considering purpose is crazy. Why is a $36k Miata is so cheap feeling inside and ungodly loud on the...

A lot of people seem to conflate lightweight with cheap/economy. The 86 platform has higher NVH than say a Camry because they were trying to hit weight targets, not because they were trying to cut...

Probably referring to the car being in the break-in period at the time.

Don’t kid yourself though, there are plenty of people legitimately beating the **** out of these cars in stupid ways.

Someone recently posted they didn’t have any rub with a 17x9 +38 setup on a normal sized 245 (non-200tw).

As another datapoint, I didn’t have any rubbing with 17x9 +42 with a 235 width sx2.

It’s confirmed to fit. On the other forum, someone with a 22 BRZ mounted a set already.

Looks like I can’t link it directly but if you search the other forum for rr racing, you’ll find it.

E85 also helps at elevation due to the oxygen it contains. IMO will be the most effective NA mod you can do if available.

Agree this smells fishy. The past history of posts and the damage the tech found (stripped threads, rounded bolt heads, damage to wheel bearing) is really suspicious.

That is odd that yours pops even on rev matched downshifts. I wonder if there’s something different about the Aus vs US tunes in that regard.
