No new information folks, other than the standard info so far. Won't be long anyway. Hopefully see this car's reveal at Tokyo Motor Show in early Dec.

But here's plenty of pics at least :)

Nice one :thumbsup:

Cant believe no new info though.

Thanks for the pics.


I don't see what is different. I suppose 17 inch rims will be standard. Wonder if there'll be any optional 18 inch rims.

I'm praying to the gods of J-Land for a brochure leak sometime near November! That'd be perfect!

whats with the scaled down model?

They did that with the MK1 FRS as well just as a cash grab from the crazies (us?) who have been following the car and wait a piece of its history I guess


WOW seriously Subaru and Toyota why no info?!?!?

Ha.. I hope the motor comes polished like that. :rolleyes:

Holly ****!!!!

Am I seeing that engine correctly?!?!?!?!?!?! WOW If that really comes like that, it'll be really interesting!!!!!!!!

and I hope it's not display mistake!!!!

150 hp?

Brake rotors, too! :party0030:

Cool but
When we can look under the white sheet at the back of the room ?
For look at the design BRZ

Looks like the new engine. throttle body facing the front...

very clean! I wonder if the intake manifold will remain reversed in the BRZ.

So the oil filter will be on top now?? interesting.

Really fantastic detailing on that display.

that's the FB20. the new engine is in the glass body. no specs

Yup, that's what I've commented... now it's easier to do this

Those engine specs are for Subaru's new boxer (FB I guess). Toyota has specified that the FT86 engine is based on the Subie but it's not the same.

Hachi, thanks for the update. Is there an unveiling of the concept
like the Scion FR-S @ the NYIAS or is this it for Subaru?!

Hopefully the wheel wells aren't huge, b/c 17 is all you need on a car this size. 18" wheels are heavier and 18" tires cost more. No thanks.

*sigh*....it's shiny I guess..

Totally agree. In fact I'd rather see stock 16 or even 15 just to keep it cheap.

And as for that engine, it's really nice to see the oil filter on top. Thank you Subaru.

I guess both companies are maybe in agreement not to let out any specs till Tokyo. And I agree with Dragonitti... Shiny!

Whats that. O_O

WRC STI engine bay. Let me find easier to see ver

K, when we change the TMIC to FMIC it looks like this

cut down that long pipe and less lag, you wanna rotate the throttle body 180 like this

Most WRC STI do it and also some of time attack STI also

I won't buy less than 200 hp.
God Bless, Bill Ivins

Bling Bling~!!! The only thing missing is, the real car needs to come with 22" bling bling rims instead of those wimpy 17's. :bellyroll:

On a different note, the standard 215/45/17 tire size means both 235/40/17 and 245/40/17 will work well.:happyanim:

Can we get it in the Orange like the Sv
Would look fantastic

Uh oh those 2 engines look like they have the same dimensions, there goes my hope for continuously variable valve lift, unless they did something completely crazy.

But thanks for the pics! So shiny lol.

Hachi, always a treat to see your pictures :thanks:. But I see that you forgot to watermark :(.


I saved them for later viewing. Hard to see through all the shinyness but at least I can see the sparkplugs now.


I can almost guarantee that if you're expecting xxx amount of HP you will be disappointed. This car is getting a N/A 2.0L. I know that they were shooting for 12lbs per PS(2% more than BHP) way back but I am counting on it being a light weight chassis more so than a higher powered engine :iono:.

The Toyota concept comes with 215/40/18 along with a multi piston factory big brakes option. It's hard to tell for certain what kind of clearance that BBK will require, but from the looks of it, I am not convinced that 17" wheels will cut it.

That is honestly kind of sad because I think high performance tire selection is better with the various widths in 17".

subaru guys, any sign of the dreaded TGV in the display???

Sadly can't see... well, I can't seen em anyways. Other Subie experts might correct me wrong

Nice! Don't mean to open up the flood gates but could mean a possible turbo setup later on down the road?

Also, I like where the oil filter is positioned! It's like of like the current Tacoma and makes changing the oil a breeze.

Perhaps I'm old-fashioned, but I rather like the oil filter being next to the drain plug on my RS. Having said that, I don't mean that the new design is bad; it's just different than what I am used to. If there is any benefit other than accessibility, someone please let me know.

Achieving that would make me very happy. Providing of course it's under 2750lbs.

For one thing THATS ALOT OF CHROME!:eyebulge: haha!
When I got the email this morning I was hoping that the BRZ to have let say a real body. Whats the hold up we now have a concept of the FRS and two concepts of the FT-86 that have even been featured in Gran Trusmio 5 (my reason for lovin the car) now I know the ins and out of showing a car before its offical final model but why do I keeep seeing this glass case.:mad0260:

If they want to keep me glocking at it well they did a good job because I so desperately want to see what the body will look like and we all know the end model will look nothing like this glass cover....or will it.

Thank you!

C'mon, you don't like to go down on the ground and get dirty? :bellyroll: :bellyroll: :bellyroll:

Still gotta get under there to get the oil out of the oil pan. Unless you want to get a straw and suck it out through the the oil filler spot.
