My initial impression is it's amazing and worth every penny. There is power to spare absolutely everywhere.
But I havnt driven an FI 86/brz before so it was always going to feel fast. I'm still surprised though. In terms of pure acceleration it (subjectively) feels at least as fast as the Cayman R I've driven. (But I'm biased I know).
Next mods? Probably grippier tyres and a set of brake pads. After that..... The shop that tuned and fitted it (Abbey Motorsport) is going to be trialing the ACE 4-1 anaconda soon on their car - if there were to be decent gains at the top end I'd consider it in combo with a high flow cat. Or I may just leave it completely alone (if the Mrs has anything to do with it)
Only slight disappointments...... Slightly lower than expected dyno (just under 240 wheel on 98octane - but was 40 degrees in the dyno room - hottest day of the year in uk. Typical!). And the back window vibrates a bit when you put torque down at really low revs. Otherwise couldn't be happier so far.
I also seem to be getting better motorway mpg than before according to the car??!! - has anyone else experienced this or am I imagining it?

Decent numbers for a hot day, but don't be so concerned over numbers. If the torque curve is as expected then it will naturally make more power on the road and I know Mark always leaves a margin of safety in the tunes too. Mileage also has some determination on power, some engines are looser than others and make more power.
If it feels good then that is what matters.
As much as the Anaconda looks to be awesome, £1500 for a manifold.... no wonder your Mrs would be pissed
