Most thermostatic systems should do that. I didn't hit 200F on track day running 40 min continuously on a 36C day (185F thermostat w mishimoto 18 row). Warm up time is not really longer than having...

I agree there are a lot of stock cars out there. My car is probably one of them. Completely stock looking and sounding, but has about $8k of mods inside: coils, tyres, intake headers, tune oil cooler...

The notion that buying another car will avoid putting money into modifications is an illusion unless you buy a corolla.

Judging by the stock to modified ratio of 86/brz, I'd say OP will continue...

The word build itself would entail that the owner would have to have an end goal and aspiration for what the car can be. No one builds without a plan for example.

I wouldn't call my car a build,...

The original front is pretty good already. You're right need the fender bumps. But the back looks like it is a lift-back which is very practical!

Haven't trawled through 10+ pages, but I find the tyre thing interesting.

Torque dip fix put me 2 secs faster on a 1.50 course. A lot of the locals have issues with the gear spacing between second and third. Some corners you enter third and end up either at 5000rpm exiting...

I did that too. Went straight for the 86 and then he just tried to play the family card saying I needed a hatch for space etc. Completely missed that I turned up in a current model civic hatch!

I think there is room for both. A 2L turbo silvia will be at least matched in price to the equivalent class hot hatches. That leaves a whooper price gap which means the market can probably bear both...

I'm not 100% sure Toyota necessarily targeted a profit line for this car - more of a marketing exercise. In any case I think they can afford to keep the cars ticking over for another 3-5 years.

Well there you go. The DIT came in 2014, the 86/brz in 2012. So yeah they could have put a FA20DIT, and I probably agree they should have done it for the MY17, but at the time (2012) it was probably...

Lol, that's because we get shafted on Australia tax on every other car!

CV shafts sound about right, but spark plugs happen due to heat - which also happens on NA cars with untreated headers.
