Whoa. It's Rego'd! Did somebody get their BRZ Pre-ordered early?!

Nardi330 04-17-2012 10:00 PM

doubt it as there is still no price.

most probably owned by Subaru Aus.

tlp 04-17-2012 10:09 PM

Ah I was just being sarcastic :P

Seeing as it's registered it must mean that everything is final now. All the suspension etc is setup and everything is ADR approved. We're getting close!

Still not a fan of that colour though!

R0ME0 04-17-2012 10:14 PM

what is this frameless mirror I keep hearing about and how does it look like?

Nambo 04-17-2012 10:18 PM

Google Maps says it will take me 9 hours and 36 minutes to drive from Melbourne *** to Subaru (Aust) Pty. Ltd. in Baulkham Hills.

Let's do it!!! :burnrubber:

Looks like it has a wide stance from the back. I could be wrong. Looks good though. :happy0180:

pr0j 04-17-2012 10:37 PM

ooo exciting!

davey90 04-17-2012 10:38 PM

Looks like M7 or is it on the M4?

I think its the M4 middle eastern distributor.

Staticfrost 04-18-2012 01:44 AM

EPIC!!!!

JFC 04-18-2012 04:13 AM

WTF

They can register a car but not give any spec info etc too the public, that is just rude.

Either that or it might be higher quality so I can make out what it says on the plate cover.

Well, it's registered and on the roads. That's a really good sign of things to come!

LOl you tied zooming in as well. My photo editing is below childish at best but i have someone working on it.

SupremeMoFo 04-18-2012 09:09 AM

Hey guys, signed up just to post this because I figured it out based on the M4 comment above - I'd already gone through the M5, M7 and F2, and also that you can make out something Park Rd, and 5 letter word road. And the overhead powerlines. Yeeeeah.

Oh, and I'm a little bit interested in the car when it is released but have a feeling I'll be more drawn to the Megane RS250.

It's the M4 westbound, Roper Rd/Erskine Park Rd exit.

I live just near Subaru Aus office, always see cars being driven around near here before their release date, most recently the new Impreza about a month before release, before that the STi sedan. Will keep my eyes peeled and iPhone ready for a BRZ ;)

Coupes/sedans almost never have rear wipers in Australia. Nothing new.

tlp 04-18-2012 08:05 PM

Those are different colours between the first and second posts? Or do I need a new set of eyes?

Nardi330 04-18-2012 08:06 PM

they are too different blue.

tlp 04-18-2012 09:37 PM

The WRB is awesome. Would actually consider getting that colour.

Nardi330 04-18-2012 09:39 PM

For me, if i go 86 it's white, BRZ then it's WR Blue.

tlp 04-18-2012 10:24 PM

Agreed!

You say that as if you have anything nice to say about any of the BR-Z's competitors...

:sign0015:

I'm coming from a much lower base than many, therefore I'll be more easily satisfied =P

I actually doubt that ... and you know I love that bum dragging froggy.

dnjshin0bi 04-19-2012 06:04 AM

LED strip in the headlight only comes in the top spec 86. brz has diff headlights

Nardi330 04-19-2012 06:13 AM

there is also a strip inside BRZ's headlights. It's more like parkers than DRLs. As seen at 0:10.

I'll be fussier because I've come from a low base point?
Besides, does the BR-Z come in yellow? :party0030:

Yumcha 04-19-2012 09:17 AM

My cousin spotted a BRZ on the Hume with a matching description a few days ago
I told him he must have been seeing things lol...
Guess he was right
