Soon

Now that Lichfield have their car ( which was photo'd in the Ecutek thread on the dyno today) , I'm getting ready to mod the car.

Picked up a tidy quote from Elephant Insurance today; with map, exhaust and filter , plus 25% power, for £590; pretty good for parked in the street in London.

I know Miltek will be doing an exhaust for the BRZ so hopefully it won't be too long, before we can get going. Hopefully a couple of nice cone filters too.

Track day next.... when the final 440 miles of running in is done; think I'll stretch the car a bit more even now though.

Just out of interest did you get time to see what the service interval is?

What is the running in period & restrictions?

ICantAffordAnLFA · 07-11-2012, 04:53 AM

Intervals are 10k or 12 months

Running in is 4000 rpm limit for first 1000 miles.

I'm at about 600 miles and I've kept below 4k so far (well mostly

) but I think I will push it a bit more now

Dying to go on a track day so I need to complete the job.

Was thinking of a shakedown at Bedford before adding Litchfield magic.

ICantAffordAnLFA · 07-11-2012, 12:05 PM

played around with the trip today, and I've managed 36.5 average mpg which I think is pretty good; mix, town, A road, motorway, country lanes but not more than 4.5k rpm over 600 miles... on a new engine. I like it

Also found the cool template in the glovebox for checking whether Subaru will do the free dent repair under the impressive ETC package.

That's a nice little bonus. I've not seen anything similar from Toyota, or anyone else come to that.

We bought a 6 month old Cooper S last year. MINI do the same. We have a similar little target too!

Up bright and early

Destination; Bedford Autodrome

First trackday outing for the BRZ; rain forecast , so should be fun.
