That is great that you have a plan of what you want to do. Most I am gonna do is swap a Coyote V8 once the stock motor dies. All depending on how motivated I am at that moment in time and where I am at in life. Who knows...driving it till the wheels fall off and then on to something else.

Yea coming from the honda world i am keeping the same build outlook as that function and found one build on here that sold me on 200 wheel, good suspension and tires and aero that will help with the handling along with getting rid of the torque dip, if i blow the motor ill either build and supercharge or j2 swap depending :p but other then that i want to go on street courses with it thats the goal

That sounds awesome! Honestly, if you get rid of the torque dip and add a little more power on the stock motor it is perfect for having a "Fast" everyday driver....I rev the sucker to the max while daily driving and once you get above 5k the thing has some decent pull....sorta just jumps out at you. It is a nice surprise.

Torque is what these cars are missing, I'm not saying it needs V8 numbers but a more usable curve is much more fun.

291/240

It really is dead for New England. But our car isn't very popular in this area. It is all WRX owners. I almost never remember to come on here. Down in Southern NH but commute to portsmouth area daily. White BRZ if you see it.

I am watching a few used BRZ's at a couple of dealerships now and planning to buy within the next month or two.
I see a lot of twins between Hooksett and Merrimack on may to work during the other 3/4th's of the year.
