I don't own a gt86 anymore, but I can confirm my 2017 aero did exactly what you are describing from 2nd to 3rd. As others have said, I think it's more of a characteristic, so I honestly wouldn't worry about it 😀

I had an Invidia non res on mine and it was totally fine. Sort of depends what your taste is. Non res is not loud enough to annoy neighbours in my opinion. If you then add a header and decat then possibly, but you can have the cold start mapped out I believe so even then, no big deal.

Thanks for the invite Keith and Luke. It was a great little venue. Sorry for spoiling the pics with a 20 year old Honda!

Every time the topic of "forced induction" is brought up on this forum, the most popular argument against FI is "learn to drive on track before increasing power", or some other nonsense, as if driving the car on a track is the only way your opinion becomes validated.
People need to learn that not everyone who buys a sports car buys it for track use. I tracked my car twice in the 2 and a half years I owned it. I did everything from a full NA setup to a near 300hp turbo setup, yet, to some people, because I wasn't at every track day or didn't join the Sprint Series, my opinion is far less valid.
Nearly everyone on this forum will spend ~90% of their time driving a GT86 driving it on the road, and quite likely on a boring road. Simply put, for that ~90% of the time, the GT86/BRZ being "built for corners" and "fast enough on the right road" isn't enough, and you're kidding yourself if you think 200hp is "fun" on a straight road, or the daily commute through town.
Adding a turbo/supercharger doesn't detract from the fun the platform offers on the right road, or a track. It requires more concentration and more skill to master, as well as some supporting mods to really make the most of it. However, the extra power means the platform can be enjoyed for the other huge percentage of driving, such as motorway miles, as the enjoyment of keeping up with much faster cars is a joy in itself.
I've developed a theory over my time on here, that most of the nay-sayers on this forum (when talking about FI) are only nay-saying as they either can't afford to do it themselves, or are scared of the potential consequences to reliability (or similar). To those people, I'd suggest that your voice has been heard, so no need to keep repeating yourself.
To everyone else who wants more power, whether for better track times, more enjoyment on the road, or simply to get more "scene" points in the McDonalds car park, I say go for it. Your money, your car, your life  
 

The pedal is a hydraulic link directly to the gearbox casing, so it's going to transfer any vibrations from engine back to your foot. It's also common to have intermittent vibration from the gear linkage at high RPMs - it's probably the same resonance manifesting in different ways.

Ok, well if you are not members the usernames of the people attending won't mean anything to you anyway. It is probably more useful to say there are currently 18 people signed up for the meet. 

Thanks for all the input guys, as suspected it seems Abbey are used quite a lot but it is just not as well publicised on the forums. Thanks also to @Mike@TD.co.uk and @Mark@Abbey M/S for commenting on the topic. Sounds like whichever one I choose I will be in good hands 

I would second this. Coming from a history of modifying Honda's, Japanese and even American made exhausts beat the stuff from the UK every single time. Sound, build quality, you name it. 

Finally got one. 
I picked it up Friday and absolutely love it.

Welcome along, I am in Sussex also, but still on the hunt for my first GT86. I am after the Aero only and am very fussy about condition which is why it is taking a bit longer than planned.
