I've never had oil or coolant temp problems with my '17 at the track, even on 95F days when my '11 2.9 Cayman would have coolant temp creep up and I'd have to back off after a few laps. Coolant and oil temps in the BRZ always stabilized. I've never had to back off or come in due to climbing temps.

I've written to Subaru several times and they have always been responsive. You might consider contacting: John Mergen CustDlrServices@subaru.com Failing that, I wonder how easy/hard it will be to take them off? I suspect they're either screwed/bolted in place which would leave holes, or more likely glued in, which could peel paint in removing them or leave residue to clean up. Hopefully someone will experiment, though it will take some brass cajones to start prying parts off a brand new car. Painting the black plastic is another option, but the material seems hard to get paint to stick to it. |

All-New 2022 Subaru BRZ Makes Global Debut
Quote:
At this stage it is wayyyyy too late to be changing body parts. The design is final, tooling is built, they are ramping up to start production. Any annoyance in aesthetics will be easily fixed with aftermarket bumpers for the minority of buyers that actually care, so there is no incentive for Subaru to change it unless the sales completely tank specifically because of that issue (see: camaro that had like 2 model years of that wonky grille). As far as modding it, I’m certain it will be held in with clips for easy installation on the assembly line. Bolts cost time and money to install over just having it clip into place. Plastic vents into a plastic bumper is easily clipped into place. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

But specifically looking at the 86/BRZ, we already know what a great car it is. The 2nd gen should improve that even further. The FA24 in this application will make more torque, more horsepower, and still rev above 7,000 rpm. I can almost guarantee everyone with a 1st gen will want one. Styling preferences aside.

That's a good observation and criticism of that comment. You are indeed right that not every single last person who owns a first gen will want the new car as what was said, how could that person be so sure that every single last person would want to upgrade? Clearly impossible, and therefore the point of his post is completely invalidated because clearly there are some, not all, not none, but some, maybe alot, maybe a little, but clearly enough to invalidate that not everyone, that are satisfied with the current engine, or has modified to their tastes to not want the new engine. What an irresponsibly inaccurate post to say every single last person will want the new engine, thank you for clarifying for that because for a second there I thought wow that's going to be alot of cars being traded in, but now I know that will not be the case. |

He does not speak for everybody and I simply pointed out that there are loads happy with what there is. I am sure that somebody of you keenly developed sense of wit and sarcasm could have figured that out. How about this: NOBODY is going to buy that boyracer special since it is ugly as fuck. That an accurate statement there?

And because of you, I am now aware that JesseG does not speak for everyone with a first gen car, and that JesseG doesn't know that every last first gen owner will want the new engine. It took you pointing that out for me to realize that people should not talk in absolutes when trying to casually make a point of expressing themselves, and that people should articulate their thoughts in an exacting manner. Which is why I am now perplexed- you are the resident semantics authority, one that I trust to illuminate the path of accurate language, yet you say that nobody will purchase a certain vehicle of adolescent tastes because it is visually unappealing. I am not capable to deduce without your assistance that what I believe to be the point you are raising is your opinion that the cosmetics of a certain vehicle to be not of your preference, and not that you have an absolute insight to know that every last self aware being will not purchase this vehicle because like you they find something to not have the correct visual proportions that would equate to their own formula of beauty. I cannot distinguish between these two, among potentially additional, possible interpretations of your statement without your assistance. In case it wasn't clear, I'm just poking fun at you for being captain obvious here, not trying to be a troll. |

That video showed alot more of the shape to the front bumper... and I'm not sure if it's better. It has alot of the proportions of the current 86 bumper in that it it tapers inward at the bottom. I guess it gives it a more sleeker look, but I dunno, just looks sorta awkward. |
