You can find out correct tire pressure by looking at the tire temperature (outer, middle, inner sector). There is no other way doing it right.

70 MPH ~ 3000 RPM It ought to be plenty livable, though if your priority is quiet high speed cruising, a lightweight car like the FT86 isn't the best choice anyway. |

$25k just means I need to wait longer before I buy one. As much as I don't like waiting, I'm still young enough to afford to wait. Quote:
Thanking for reminding them that the tires are not stock prius tires. |

Others on here believe that it won't be possible to fit the turbo or that it would compete with the wrx sti for sales so subaru won't make it. A few others believe that the car will somehow be ruined with the addition of more power because it will somehow make the car less fun or make it impure. I don't believe any of those statements. |

It should be used as a fine adjustment, though you'll see some desperate measurements at your local parking lot race. |

So yeah, I agree with the higher tire pressures in the rear, all of my cars are setup like that.

Didn't know there are people who do those on whimpy street tires with weak sidewalls...otherwise you should be smart enough to know when your knowledge is applicable. Like I said - on decent tires it won't be true, since they have stiff sidewalls/wide profile etc. Also, rear tires won't roll as much, so it's less relevant. Pumping front ones from stock psi will give you more corner grip. And again - does not apply to race/semi-race tires. |

*wakes up from forum slumber*
Did you guys even look at the 0-60? 6.0-6.2? That's freakin awesome for 26k! It's tiresome watching all these whiners wishing for 22-23k, this isn't a mustang; wake up people! *returns on hiatus* |

First off the 0-60 is a estimate and secondly I don't understand how these guys are "whiners" for hoping for a 22k-23k car(I could understand under 22k now). This car isn't a 26k car unless it's coming with a good amount of amenities standard. The 26k is what I expect a BRZ Premium 6spd Automatic to cost.
