When slowing down (without throttle or brakes, but just in gear) the car will chug back and forth anywhere under ~13-14mph in 2nd gear. I thought 2nd gear should be able to tolerate that well since everyone says they don't go into 1st until they get under 5mph. Or am I wrong? And it seems like anywhere under 20mph is just too slow to go into 3rd gear. How do you guys do it? This is based on a 2017 brz btw.

A little trick i've learned is to Start n 1st and get myself to about 10 mph and then put it in neutral and just kinda coast along using the brake when necessary. If done right your momentum should keep you moving along without really needing to engage the clutch or gas.

Gorgeous car. Lovin' it!

I'm completley stunned with how good the white looks. I think it actually looks better than the WRB in this model. If i waited for the 2017 model there is a good chance i probably would have a white car instead of WRB.

Also did it come with those wheels? I thought that was only for the PP which wasnt available yet? I could be wrong...they look amazing.

It's just the STi alloy wheels that are offered. I ordered those instead since I didn't want the PP wheels. So far the car is pretty stunning and already turning heads in traffic. I feel kind of weird driving without the front lip, like as if it's an incomplete kit but that's hopefully going to be resolved soon enough. Going to tint the car this weekend and keep it stock for awhile. Out of all the interior updates, I really like the digital speedometer font lol. Hope to see everyone get their cars soon. This refresh has great potential for all sorts of mods to an already sexy car right out the gate.
@Zaku @Oxyg3n, those measurements are correct. Sorry for the late response. Been spending tonight removing those stupid dealer emblems after I said not to put them on 😑 at least they didn't drill the bumper right?

Good call with the STi wheels. makes the car look so much more agressive. I did notice you have the sideskirts but no front lip. Cant wait to see how it looks when that gets added on.

Appreciate the link. I don't know if I'm desperate enough for the lip after seeing what shipping will cost me lol but at least it's good to know that's available nonetheless. I'd hate to order and then SoA announces the lip is now available so I guess I will play it safe and hold out for now. I'll give it til December and if it's still not available then I guess I will order from japanparts.

Mine didn't add it automatically. It let me choose and showed the price of each part.

Huh strange.

So i just tested it again to see. Limited by itself wont add the sti rims or side skirt, however if you do limited automatic, it automatically adds it on.

You pay the extra 1100 for the auto yet you get over 2k value for the rims and skirt...

Is this a mistake than?

Sounds like it some mistake :/ guess their configuration isn't bug free yet
