Next Gen BRZ/86!

Eh, it's only 1/2" longer than the mark 2 (4.5" more than the mark 1) and it weighs 200 lbs less than the original (top trim vs top trim), and it's widely hailed as the best handling car in VW/Audi's current lineup (R8 notwithstanding). The lightest MK3 (FWD manual) actually only weighs 2714lbs! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I have never ridiculed weight reduction. I have questioned your claimed results from performing random parts changes. The fun part is that so has every other single person that has responded to your claims. You yourself open almost every post on the subject with "nobody agrees but I have...". You are yet again saying that every other person is wrong about the platform and the only supporter that you have is somebody that obviously has not had any contact with the industry for 20 or more years and thinks things are still done as they used to be. Get over trying to attack me and listen to what is being said.

I think the idea of a scalable platform is lost on him. He is still living in the 60s when they changes a grill and called a car a different brand. This: This: And this: Are all built on the MC platform. There have been and still are a total of over 30 totally different vehicles in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and drivetrains built on this platform since the 1990s and here we are being told that once a platform is built everything must be the same size and drive train. Gotta love the whole "ask and engineer but only one that agrees with me" comments.

It was clear that you don't have an engineering background and no matter your years of "experience", you'll always have an unclear understanding of how things work. It is what it is for people that don't have an appropriate background and have to deepen into the details. Try to share some knowledge in your level of expertise and not about everything. Or as it has been suggested, find someone with an engineering background and let him explain to you the details. You are just ridiculate yourself with such opinions. A random part of changes? How do you think STI or TRD or other sport divisions are working? They'll contact specific vendors and in many cases they'll just re-brand existing parts. Why do you attack me for example and not Shiv who provided so many years a generic tune for EL/UEL catless headers? From your point of view a generic tune for a header will give zero gains. Same about your reasoning on the global platform. What is your technical reasoning apart from playing with words and providing random examples from the internet? We are discussing here about the future of the 86/BRZ platform and I provided specific examples of how the BRZ was specialized. Same about other people who were trying to explain to you in detail that the new global platform is not appropriate for a real sports car. We were not doing a generic discussion. Are you really searching for supporters over here? Personally, I'm not. If something is wrong, then it's wrong and I don't care who agrees or not. If you think that you have a "fun base" and that they'll support you in whatever case, then it is not how things should work. Especially when you are spreading non-sense with non-existent technical reasoning. I don't know if the mods like the forum to work like this, but it is certainly the wrong way! |

lol @ nikitopo complaining about Shiv here for no reason... He always made clear his cam timing were for specific header he either sells or ft86speedfactory sells..and he just made them available for free for everyone not because he sells OTS tune but because he sells oft and since most of people does not have an idea how to set a tune from scratch, he gives them a good base
if you dont like them don t use them and dont spit on them, you have not the right to do so... you just have to enjoy your expensive canned tune with your 1500$ OEM header with huge cat : ) alsp you seem to not understand that the only way to tune the cams is with your specific car on a dyno and try to find what pulls the most power out.. you think a tuner can do that remotely? but well your 250-260bhp car pulls already over a Porsche, you dont need a perfect cam setting right? |

This has nothing to do with @Tcoat 's so called fan base. On this topic he's technically correct, the best kind of correct. Go dig around Wikipedia if you want more info, there is enough technical info about cars, their platforms, predecessors and successors for days of research. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I have a PhD in engineering and I taught at graduate and undergraduate level Mechanical and Chemical engineering in MA. In my opinion, you have no idea what you are talking about. I would hire one tcoat instead of a dozen engineers like you.

So ...
@Tcoat @bkharmony @Yoshoobaroo @mrg666 Nothing more specific on the particular topic apart from personal attacks and insults. Well done! I am exluding @tomm.brz because he seems to have some real issue with comprehension as a non native speaker. |

Anybody with even a basic level of comprehension understands what we we saying so if a few want to disbelieve they are welcome to carry on doing so.
