Hi!!

Its been a long time, but here are the results of all the test doing to me BRZ:

No issue (LOL).

Subaru dealer didnīt find what was going wrong, and the BRZ still has the issue, so I decided to sold it. it was a very sad moment, I really thought to keep my BRZ for 5 year, but the detonation get over me, especially if you think that the car was almost new and always standar (i donīt even changed the air filter to a performace one).

Well, I said goodbye to my beloved RWD japan car and almost signed for a new WRX, but when the new WRX recall for the wrecked plastic intake and the DIT issues, plus the clutch troubles and other minors problems, I decided to walk away from Subaru for now (maybe a couples of years) and I bought a 2015 Renault Megane RS Cup trophy with 265 HP.

What i get??
265HP and 360NM TQ
LSD mechanical
Brembo brakes
Recaro seats
A great performance in one of the best hot hatch of this time
A really well equiped car (all the gadgets)
No DIT (it has MPI)
No plastic intake (an aluminium one)
Twin Scroll Turbo

First I was worried about Renault problems history, but the asociation with Nissan tranformed Renault in a really good car maker, and the RS has no issues (in my internet search i only found very low percents of minor problems).

That the end of the story. Iīll wait for the WRX, but when Subaru make an upgrade to their engines quality, like the old times.

Thanks!!!
