THIS. Definately this. Wouldn't it make sense for both companies to hold on more information until AFTER ALL regions of the world have had the car "officially released"? I think Europe is the last one left

That whole section is a headache, you actually have to use the search function to find any technical and good discussion, everything else on there is either a repost, someone over excited, something is in the wrong place, a spam or a thread that's so off topic because everyone is arguing in there. Yes it's pretty fustrating... let do ourselves a favor and keep the BRZ section clean and prevent it from turning into the forum above at all cost!

Recomend using User groups for those excitement and group dicussion so the technical information people come to the forum for isn't lost in the clutter.

There are a few individuals on both sides that are mature (BRZ may have more) but the fact that the BRZ side is more dedicated on finding NEW or just receiving new info can lead to less useless threads and more informative ones.

I just glance over to the FRS side and try not to get caught up in arguments. lol
Good Luck!

All the other members have moved to the BRZ side (like us). That's pretty weird. It's like Subaru knows what we were going to do O_o

Average Post In FRS Section
"Why Canada have no Red Stitching!?"
"I just Pre ordered My car!"
"Why FRS so different from BRZ?"
"Why you repost!?"
"Why no one help me I already posted this like 6 times"

Average Post in BRZ Section
"Alright Gents when is the next BRZ technical Information coming out"
"Thanks for posting! up the picture we really like em"
"Could someone help me understand the VIP program and Pre order Information? certainly"
"I have some interesting information everyone! here you go I hope it's helpful *attaches source*
"Thank you"

I think you get the picture...

I have been trying to be nice and no longer do the whole SEARCH thing when a repost thread is created. So many topics on the same issue have been created and are on the same page of the forum. It is very frustrating. I just try to link to the other threads that have been ongoing on the same topic. But I get called for trolling for doing that? Makes no sense.

I am at the points I want to avoid the FRS section all together. BRZhomies for me.

One thing, I feel bad for the GT86/86 guys in Asia/Europe/Australia that have to put up with the FRS crap. Really that is what it is, crap. FRS should have its own section. Let them self destruct in there and have no useful threads. Let the GT86 and 86 guys have a productive and vibrant sub forum.

^ be prepared for newbs to flood the BRZ too.

Im getting reports from Japan and europe that the interest of the BRZ and GT86 has doubled in the past several weeks. Meaning some of the top search engines used in those counties has BRZ SUBARU TOYOTA GT86 keywords at the top of the list. And traffic for those keywords have been increasing. As well as several dealers across the globe getting inquirys and calls quite a bit. Not to mention several different forums related to the BRZ/FRS/GT86 are getting more traffic also. I know some members here are also members of other Zx6 forums.

by August, im projecting that our traffic here will be tripled. And our new members will also increase quite a bit.

Meaning our old, long term regulars will be tested and pushed in their frustration of spam,reposts,newbs,trolls,sensitive***s,and know-it-alls.

But ill try my best to keep it contained for you guys.

Ft86forum is the only one for me.

Went to grocery shopping on my dinner break & found these on sale

I only bought 510 & Skyline 2000GT, but there were R32, 911, bluebird 510, reventon & a ton of American muscle cars... but some of you know, I'm totally newb to muscle cars, so didn't care to buy em.

Well spent dinner & my money (it was 10/$10)

'Technical' is a somewhat safe haven. You know, ignoring all the seagulls anyways... Usually some long, detailed posting on pressure ratios, temp gains and how that affects the density ratio will kind of scare off the 'Turbo?' noobs...

I agree, but technical even scares me off.

But that is the great thing about this place, a lot of people with lots of knowledge and experience. So I have been reading and learning a lot from you guys.

Dimman · 02-22-2012, 08:48 PM

(I'm secretly hoping that 'seagull' will catch on as a term for a noob that asks about a turbo, or push start...)

"Will it have turbo???"
"STFU, Seagull."

(Who started that pic, AllchCar?)
