White BRZ Sports Tech Delivered

Hello Everyone,

Just want to post up my white BRZ Sports Tech 6mt which was delivered this morning.
The car was at the dealership on Friday (June 15, 2012) however it required to be PDI hence it was picked up this morning instead.

The moment you jump in, it feels rather special, unlike anything near its price range, it shifts, moves, steers, brakes very well. Communication with the driver is excellent, even driving at low speed around town. I haven't really driven it much at all, a review will follow in the near future.

Not in particular order, special thanks to Khaiji (manager), Russell (general manager, whom my father work with for almost a decade or more, persistently helped me locate and ordered this car. Also i should thank my father for consistently and persistently bugging them endlessly to find me this car ), Dean (Service/part manager) from Subaru of Brampton for professionally handling my car, ensuring no one except for Mike (technician) to PDI and move the vehicle. My family and myself have purchased four vehicles from them in the past and would recommend anyone to give them a visit if you are in the market.

June 15/16, 2012:



June 18, 2012:
Here are some crappy pictures.





No stupid buttons on the steering wheel.

The master cylinder looks rather big for a car this size, the pedal feel is very very good, wouldn't know if there is enough thermal mass until it see some track time.

Teaser:
Some stuff which i've kept for a while and from my last car.

Haha John is awesome. Apparently he was/is ranked #2 at the Subaru Canada mechanic competition?

Stops the buckle from going all the way back... usually.

I once had it slide all the way through anyway despite it being clasped. To be honest I've kind of given up on the clasp. Most of the time it unclasps very easy anyway. Better than tearing I guess.

Anyway, depends how you position your seat but it would definitely be easier if it worked properly since I feel like I have to reach quite a ways back to grab the belt. Doubt it'd be as much of an issue for 6+ feet people.
