3) Yep. Small. Watch out for people that don't see you.
4) There is a thread on how to get rid of the rattle on here someplace but get used noises as there is so little soundproofing you will hear everything.
5) If you can get firmware that improves things you will become a BRZ god.
BTW I am not expecting to get 400 hp. Just a little bump in power is all the car needs. Also the gears seem odd to me. After driving around some and getting used to driving stick again I am skipping gears intentionally. Going right from 2nd to 4th or 3rd to 5th. When on the interstate and going 75 MPH the RPMS in 6th gear are between 3500-4000. It seems to me like they should be spaced more and extended out in 6th?

Thanks for the tip on the rattling. I'll go look for that thread.
