I was thinking the same, but I assumed he meant last 2 2013 LR BRZ up for grabs.

I think he meant what he said, he has one of the only two brought into HIS country.

Fair enough. The location was blank at the time of my post though, but that shouldn't be an excuse. The plates should have given it away lol. You win, sir.

As for one of 2 red brz's in the country.. I think the dealer got you on that one, cause we have a few guys on here with em.. But I will say.. That is one damn good looking color..
At first I was skeptical about the whole clutch pedal adjustment.. I read the pedal adjustment thread and continued to drive the car around without doing the mod.
After a while I noticed I couldn't get smooth shifts at lower speeds and that I had to physically raise my whole leg up every time I let go of the pedal. I thought it was just me because it's been a while since driving manual, but I never remember it being this rough in my 300ZX.

This morning I decided to do the clutch pedal adjustment. WOW!!! Holy shit. What a difference! So much faster to get to the biting point and shifts are SMOOTHER! I got it right about, or just a tiny bit lower than the brake pedal and it feels sooooo nice.
Man, why the hell did I not do this earlier? Why the hell did Subaru/Toyota set the clutch like that?!?!?!?!?!

Thanks man for the advice! Love the felling now and shifts will be so much better!

BTW I upgraded the stereo, speakers and installed a back up cam.



Pioneer AVH-2550bt, Sony high end speakers (can't remember model number), and some Chinese back up cam. Sounds seriously good right now and I'm really happy with the sound so far. Back up cam is alright, it does its job!
I might install a 8 or 10 inch sub in the back later on but right now I'm really happy.

Hello all, I joined the forum to learn about the BRZ while I save up for one. I drive a 2000 Toyota Corolla and in the past I've owned a Nissan 300ZX (2nd Gen) and a Toyota MR2 Turbo (2nd Gen).

First time Subaru owner here! I am in love. I commute everyday in my BRZ, even named him Tommy. My only regret was that I got it in AT, but that all changes when I am in traffic in my 40 mile commute everyday... That's right! This is my daily driver! I originally got this car because I wanted to give my little brother a car on his birthday AND I wanted to look super fly. So sometimes I think about trading it in for an MT because I love it so much and after seeing all these car journals, there's so much potential and endless possibilities! But for now I don't know what to do with my car all though I still want to mod it up without looking stupid

I used to have my fiancee's car for anytime I needed room but we called things off and now that it's my only option again it's getting to be an inconvenience.

After searching around and being fairly set on an 08/09 BMW M3 for a while I ended up at the BRZ since I could buy it brand new, have a tiny monthly payment (the s2000 is paid off) and still have enough left over to make the car my own. I went and drove one a few weeks ago and loved how similar it felt to the s2000 in a lot of ways.

Here's my s2000:


very nice, beautiful s2k.
