Rogue Motorsport always bleed the master cylinder on my car when the fluid is changed, and it's the second step in that tech manual (before bleeding the calipers). 

Pedal definitely shouldn't feel squishy. Did you bleed the master cyclinder as well?
I don't recieve any humming.

Love the wheels, seeing them makes me regret not getting a set, but they're so bloody expensive and they don't do them in gold. 😄
As for the tail lights, I personally like the look of the smoked one.

After Bedford on 30/07/20 I decided to try some new track tyres. I narrowed it down to Nankang AR1's, Toyo R888R's or Yokohama A052's. However, the more I researched on each, the more undecided I became!
Therefore, I decided to go with something completely different as a stop gap until next year when I'll have hopefully decided which of the three mentioned I want to run (along with the advantage of not having to store them over winter which track tyres always seem more sensitive to).
I decided to try a set of Accelera 651 Sports. These are cheap as chips and seem to get a lot of very good reviews. As a stop gap they look perfect. I went for a 255/40/17 to suit my 9" wheel as advised by their UK importers.

I weighed the 651's at 11.3kgs a corner.
While I was doing this I also weighed one of the Maxxis Victra Sport VS5's (245/35/18) that I use as my daily tyre and which come in at 10.8kgs a corner.
The 651's are being fitted in a week or so, so I'll report back what they're like on the road after I've done a few miles on them.
I'm at Anglesey on the 24th and Bedford on the 28th so they'll get a good try out on track then.

Update 30/07/2020 - Bedford Autodrome Trackday #2
Two Bedford trackdays in one month, I must be crazy 😅. Ofcourse that's not completely true, I really enjoy the circuit and Javelin released a last minute date in July, so decided to jump on the chance to do another trackday whilst there was some free space and to make up for the 4 months without any trackdays earlier in the year. 
The day was excellent and well organised, there were a couple of stoppaged throughout the day but these were cleared up relatively quickly. Luckily I was always in the pits when these happened, so didn't affect my track time. The main issue from the day was the track temperature, it was a very hot day 30c, and little cloud cover meant the circuit(tarmac) heated up very quickly. This was an issue for both myself & @Deacon as we started to suffer with tyre grip issues, meaning we had trouble with the tyre sliding around. However interestingly my PS4's held up better in the area, compared to @Deacon's Yokohama AD08RS, this could be down to the compound being better or the fact I'm running a slightly wider tyre (245 v 225). 
The temperature didn't stop me from putting in some fairly quick lap times. On the 2nd session I managed to come close to matching my previous best time from the 1st Bedford day in July, only a few tenths away. I assumed after this it'd be game over and no more improvement, just because of how hot it was. However this filled me with confidence in my setup and that I'm getting more consistant on circuit, atleast at Bedford anyway. The times fell throughtout the day with one banzai lap at the end of the day, which dropped me down to a 3:01.11 lap, this was so close to being 3 minute dead lap. Unfortunately about 75% of the way round I caught up to a slow Lotus Elise at the wrong place which meant I had to slow down, losing me a vital second. Whilst annoying it's not the end of the world as I now know the car is capable of a sub 3 minute lap and with a couple more days at Bedford that should eventually happen. I suspect with some proper instruction and better tyres (semi-slicks) I could actually shave off another 10 seconds, I'm not quite taking the best line through some corners and not braking as late as possible for others. 
Overall it was a good day with no issues and some fast laps completed, so I'm very happy with how the car is performing at the moment. I still need to look at changing the rear brake pads, as I've previous mentioned.
Here are some photos:

I'm not running the Mishi cooler, just the Mishi stat. But all the oil coolers have the same issue.

Fair play for providing a breakdown of all the the costs involved and all the updates 👍
Definitely provides some insight for others who want to invest in a project.

Nearly Back On The Road
So I set out to give a true reflection of what it would take to get the car back on the road.  I have done all the work myself minus the frame shop straightening the front end/welding on the new slam panel and the respray itself.  If you take out of the consideration any mods I've purchased that weren't needed such as rear lights/headunit/STI parts etc and just look at what it would take to get a similar 86/BRZ back on the road with similar damage I have spent as follows.
Exactly as I've done it with facelift front end and new bumper/wings plus full colour change:
Total on the road cost: £8930.46
That includes:
Crash Damaged BRZ £4200
Used Bonnet £150
Used Crash Bream £50
Used Rad £20
Used A/C rad £20
Used Fans £20
Used Airbox and washer bottle £100
Odd used and new clips, brackets, fog lights, wiring, rear bumper etc £200
New Slam Panel Subaru £306
New Front wings and brackets, top plastic grill trim, 4x rubber bushings for rad assembly Toyota £309
New Vland Headlights £380
New Facelift front bumper with all the brackets, grills etc £617.92
New Headlight rubber seals(BRZ Only) Subaru £58.14
New Headlight washer jet covers Subaru £70
New Various bolts Subaru £29.24
Labour for frame shop to straighten the car £380
Respray in Porsche RS Green £2000 (Note for those that ask why so cheap I did all the labour in terms of stripping the car minus the bonnet/doors/boot lid
 
For that above cost I have a 2013 BRZ with around 40k on the clock, spotless interior, heated seats, spotless exterior which is unique and you wont see another one in that colour, black headlights etc.  Yes I could have bought a working 86 for that sort of price (Only seen very rough BRZ's sub £10k) but it would possibly have higher mileage, not as in good condition and certainly not unique.  It would also have the pre-facelift front end which im not a massive fan of.   So for me I am more than happy with it as it stands and gives me a solid base to start modifying.  
 
Getting it on the road even cheaper:
Now I could have got it on the road for much cheaper if I had waited around for used parts that matched the body colour and didn't insist on retro fitting a facelift front end.  This would have avoided £2000 in bodyshop costs straight away, plus the used body parts would have been a lot cheaper than the new bits I went for like the front bumper and wings.
Total on the road cost: £6383.54
 
That includes:
Crash Damaged BRZ £4200
Used Bonnet £150
Used Crash Bream £50
Used Rad £20
Used A/C rad £20
Used Fans £20
Used Airbox and washer bottle £100
Odd used and new clips, brackets, fog lights, wiring, rear bumper etc £200
New Slam Panel Subaru £306
Used Front wings and brackets, top plastic grill trim, 4x rubber bushings for rad assembly  £300
New Vland Headlights £380
Used Front Bumper £150
New Headlight rubber seals(BRZ Only) Subaru £58.14
New Various bolts Subaru £29.24
Labour for frame shop to straighten the car £380
 
Yes I was lucky with some of the used parts coming up super cheap, but if I can find bargains, others can.   Sam Nadeem from SJ Autosports is a great source of well priced used parts for 86's/BRZ's in the UK.  I did all the work with a Halfords tool kit and a Ryobi impact gun.  I've never rebuilt a crashed car before so have learn't a lot along the way.  Now its time for its MOT tomorrow, then tax and insurance.  Once thats done its off the bodyshop for its final polish now its all back together then modifications begin.  
 
Very happy its gone from this:

Has the HP changed at all @MartinT? 
Although that torque graph isn't helping with my decision to stay N/A 🤔

Update 11/07/2020 - Blyton Park Trackday - Video #3
After posting the track battles footage on youtube, the Lotus Exige owner commented on the video and informed me that he had footage of when I was infront of him for a couple of laps, here is his video. It's nice to get a different persective of my driving.
 

I was just looking at Work wheels as an alternatively for you, as they make the T5R which is the same style as the Advan TC4.
You can get the works from Driftworks. I'd speak to them and see if they do them in custom offsets as the standard ones listed are very weak.

A couple more video's from Bedford.
#3 This is my second fastest lap from the day, only a few tenths off the fastest lap, however this one isn't as clean. 
 
#4 A couple of laps from my most consistant session, all in the 3:06 time range. As it turns out this is mostly because of traffic at one point or another during the session. Also it looks like I need some more power as on the 4th lap (3rd lap as you watch the video), the BMW I was chasing went to let me by twice but I couldn't catch him at all. 🤔

Here's my fastest lap from the day with data overlay. For some reason full throttle only shows as 80%, treat this a flat out:
 

Update 04/07/2020 - Bedford Autodrome Trackday
As I'm sure most of your are aware and have been in a similar situation with the Coronavirus situation and lockdown, I found that I've hardly used the car except for a run once every two weeks to keep the battery topped up. That work for the first two months until I needed to go into work one day and the battery was flat, typical. I then jump started it at the weekend and it's been fine since. I might look at getting a jump start battery, if anyone has any suggestions please let me know. 
Anyway due to the lack of use the car has had and the announcement that trackdays will be allowed in June, I decide to get one booked. I didn't want to book on one too early in June due to the main restrictions still being in place. Unfortunately most people didn't care about this and it meant most trackdays got booked up pretty quickly and I missed out. However I noticed the OpenTrack added an extra date for Saturday 4th July at Bedford Autodrome. So I and @willclarke promptely booked the day. 
Now to the trackday, upon arrival I was greated by a member of OpenTrack sat in his car at the entrance, he instructed me to park in the regular car park and sign on, in the usual place. The regular forms you need to take with you and briefing have both been replaced with online versions. To be honest this is much better as it saves alot of hassle in trying to remember to take the forms with you. It also helps remove some of the urgency to get to the track before 8:30 for the briefing. The sign on, consisted of standing behind the person in front at a 2m distance, the sign on area had perspex screens up in place and the sign on team only need to know your name and see your drivers license. The sign on area was one way so you had to go out a different way to the way in. I then drove round to the garages to unpack/get ready. I was then meet by anyother GT86 owner Mike who was attending and we had a good chat. Social distancing stayed inplace for most of the day. 
On to the track time, the first session I was aware I needed to bed in the new brake pads, this didn't go as well as intended due to Bedford having so many long straights which allow the brakes to cool, and the fact I had the VSC on Sport mode. This meant the rear brakes got hotter than the front, which caused a moment on the main straight when the rear locked up before the front calipers. I did a few laps and it started to settle in, I then came back in to the pits to let the car cool. The 2nd session I turned traction control off fully which help as the rear brakes weren't heating up so much. I didn't have any issues from this point on. The stopping power provided by the new pads is excellent and I'm happy with the purchase. This helped to give me more confidence in the car. I'll report back on the pads after the next trackday.
If you've been following the build you note there have been a number of changes since the last trackday in Feburary, these are the new Seat, new wider wheels and tyres, TRD fins and new brake pads. Overall these changes helped make a massive difference to the car. I can now carry more speed through the corners and I'm not rolling around in the seat so much, this has helped give me a better feeling and controlability. In some cases I found that I was over slowing the car for some corners and this meant I lost the balance and it washed out. 
Looking back at my footage I can see that I've improved by 6 seconds from my previous fastest lap with the new setup and there is still plenty of time of the table. I'll link my fastest lap video below, as you can see I have a small oversteal issue towards the end at corner 18 (2:55 on the video) where I lose grip for a second and this killed my momentum, plus I definitely think I can go faster through that corner. A sub 3 minute lap should be possible. The new setup also seems more consistant as my laptimes throughout the day are now much closer together, when I got a relatively clean lap. 
Here's some pictures from the day:
