    What to look for when buying

    Thanks for info! Well in terms of power I wouldn't go anywhere more than 300hp, I'm more after the nice blow off sound and some extra power that some people say the gt86 lacks
  3. Hello, had my Mazda RX-8 for 6 years, absolutely love it in all ways, but during that time I have done literally every mod I wanted and thought is reasonable so now is the time to move to something new and start modding another beautiful car, after some internet read I have found a lot of similarities between those 2 cars, so I think getting gt86/brz would be a good choice, but before I wanted to ask you about few questions that was hard to find clear answers: 1) What to look into when buying used car? 2) One of the issues why I'm looking to sell my car is because the rust just starting to kill the car and fixing arches each 2 year isn't what I want to continue doing... so how rust proof are gt86 and what rust places to look while choosing the car? 3) Am I right that during whole lifespan of gt86 model there wasn't been changed much and buying some 2013-2015 model car isn't bad idea? Exterior wise I'll be changing it to aftermarket, so the facelift isn't something I'd consider to pay extra for 4) Also not sure about the engine, was it on every model same or is there differences between them and one will be more reliable than other or easier to turbo? 5) How reliable will be the car after installing turbo, I'm not looking into crazy numbers, just want to have similar sound like subaru WRX have with blow off + exhaust, and lets pass the rotary reliability jokes as for those 6 years of having it I had 0 rebuilds and 0 issue with the engine 5a) Is it actually possible to make gt86 sound like Subaru Impreza STI in terms of blow-off and aftermarket exhaust and still having it not too laud? 6) On rx8 decating the exhaust gave you louder sound, option to make fireballs from your tips and downside was awful oil/petrol smell and lack of option to pass MOT, how decating affects gt86? Thanks in advance
