Oh hey, finally I see someone who has the Milltek. Which one did you get (resonated / unresonated and header or cat-back)?

Really curious to see how you like it-- I'm thinking of getting the header-back unresonated system for mine at some point, but there aren't very many youtube videos of it and the audio quality of online clips is usually terrible anyway... hard to get a feel for how it really sounds.

Just got back from HK (I'm over there about 6-9 weeks per year). You need to take that car over to the awesome mountain roads on the way to Stanley Market. I was on one of the great 16X mini buses and couldn't help but miss driving my BRZ on those roads...

I was in Hong Kong in November/December and I didn't spot one BRZ or 86 (save for a BRZ in a dealership I walked past.) It was funny trying to explain what a BRZ was to all of the hobby shop owners I approached. Did leave with a couple of (horribly overpriced) models.

Oh, I've taken it to those roads. And to Route Twisk, which is the MOST AWESOMEST mountain road in HK, in my opinion. Several times.

The BRZ is still very rare. 86s are more common, although also quite rare. The dealership you saw the BRZ in was almost certainly the main Subaru franchise's showroom. I remember going in to put my deposit down, and I think they do too, since it was basically along the lines of "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!". I was, in fact, the first person to put down a deposite on one with them.

Where do you Honkys buy after market parts for your BRZ? Do they have a website?

Sorry, it's rare that I check this thread!

You can buy them from the local distributor, or from places like Top Racing.

Do they offer good value?
