Hello from Cape Town!
 
Hey everyone,

Just a quick introduction of myself :-)

I am the proud owner of an ALMOST new 2013 BRZ.
I picked her up from Bloem a few weeks ago with 1280km on the clock. (Almost 4000km now)
I ALMOST bought a new one from the dealership (BRZ price has dropped to same as 86 premium - I think it's a special) but they didn't have WRB in the country which is the exact colour I wanted so "settled" for the demo I got in bloem. I got a great price anyway so it worked out for the best!

The car I owned before this was a modified 2005 subaru 2.5RS. You might have seen me ripping it up at Killarney a few times.

I wanted to stay NA, the price was right so I went for the BRZ. I was looking at getting a second hand STI but decided against it....DAMN I'm glad I did.

I am loving my car. I have a lip kit that I imported and that extra growl from the BRZ's sports exhaust is awesome!
The power is more then enough coming from my RS which is modified (134kw) and the handling is superb - despite the tires. Probably better then my RS which had aftermarket coilovers, and swaybars.

I have been using NF street octane booster since the day I picked her up so that might also explain why I find the power surprisingly good despite all the reviews I read. At R50 a bottle it's worth it until its tuned.


I'm typing from my phone - hence the quick intro so will post pics as soon as I can.

Cheers for now and I look forward to meeting a few of the Cape Town crowd.

Welcome and congrats on your purchase.

This is the national forum most of us use.

Each region has set up a Whattsapp or Telegram group chat, suggest you hook up with your fellow Capetonians, they have a good 86 community going.
