No point at all. Has this already been posted? I don't have time to look through every post. If its been posted well then my bad, if it hasnt im sure any 86 owner will find it interesting. Thats it...

It would indeed take a pile of reading to find since you bumped it down to the second from the top by making this thread.

Oh and since you are in Dubai or Kuwait or wherever you claim to be today and therefore have the European version of the car (I believe) then the 17s get the reduced wear internals ONLY. The European spec cars get NONE of the other engine or driveline improvements. Only Japan, Australia and North America get the changes.

They will send the part that your VIN number calls out not whatever just happens to be laying around so you will get the old final gear. They are just changing the gears for your rattle not swapping out the whole unit?

They are scattered through several treads and the whole brochure is someplace.
Doesn't hurt to have them all in one spot but they could have just been added to one of the many existing threads.

Wonder if those brembos are "swapable" for early models
Just plug and play

Yes. But to buy them separate it would cost a fortune. There are already aftermarket kits that do the same for less money.


Now... if getting them on the car with the Performance Package that includes the upgraded struts and wheels then they are one hell of a bargain for the price.


Either way they are only a benefit if you track the car or just want the looks. There is no advantage to them in a DD situation.

Id say most of it is plug and play. Same car but tweeked and enhanced a bit

This is the thing that we can never plug and play. Changes made during the machining process

Not trying to be rude at all but these are just taken from the material that has been in PDF form for months. Anyone care to link the entire Release from Subaru so he can save some time posting individual pages.

There is a huge back story as to why he is all of a sudden posting what to the rest of us is old news. Too long to explain and all the threads have been deleted but in summary he tried to tell us he had this engine in his 2015 and we were all wrong when we said it didn't exist (in 14 when his car was built). It was a shit show and now he is trying to say he was right all along and his engine was different than all the rest.


He even resurrected an 8 month old thread to dispute a comment and start the whole thing over again.

I am just waiting for the statement to be made here although he has disguised his intent very well so far.

Was there any photo evidence to prove any of the claims or just pure unfounded butt dynosity. (no that is not a word)
