I reckon we'll see the higher spec B48 here, there would be little to no market for the "base" model especially given the low numbers headed to Europe.

The figures on the Dynapack at the bottom of the screen are done by manually clicking a cursor where you want on the graph, not necessarily a point on the line  

Well it seems that the UK oversold it's A90 Edition, some buyers have mentioned getting an apology from TGB for the cock up. Plus it seems that all Pro spec have also gone. Not sure when the next lot will be available, but well done to anyone who got one!

They aren't the only JDM company guilty of it, but along with the recall stuff ($177.4m) and the emissions falsifying ($50k per car fine, reputedly around 1900 cars) is going to cost them a fortune.

Subaru have now acknowledged this and have parts to fix:

I would suggest that this is probably the price point for this type of platform that is not shared with lower grade standard common models. I mean if a M140 is £35k+ and that is sold in huge numbers in the standard car ranges, something like this will always be north of £40-45k. That wouldn't be a problem unless there is already many well established "go to" competitors as well as other newer alternatives (A110 springs to mind). Someone pointed out on the other forum that not only is the price similar but likely the financial deals will not be comparative to a Cayman either as the residuals will never be as good. This is aimed at the Supra fanboys really, given the "Return of the Legend" marketing and it seems like this isn't keeping many of them happy either from my experience on the groups on FB etc.
Plus I just don't understand why they've kept the damn thing under wraps for soooo long. I don't think that it has done any good for the "hype"..... I kind of lost interest late last summer.  Plus there have been so many leaks, the reveal is only going to cement what pretty much everyone already knows.

They are stopping their work in aftermarket parts.
The engine bay is pretty bad at getting the hot air out as it's pretty well sealed. The cooling system is good so coolant temps shouldn't take a hit and of the manifold isn't around the pan then oil temps are fine (some have claimed higher temps with manifold changes). However it is noticeably hot under the bonnet and many suggest this is one of the main killers of the coil packs..... hence it seems to happen to those who track their car. Add an extra radiator at the front for charge cooling and you add another heat source too. Lets put it this way, I am happy my setup still has a heat shield. That is a bigger plus to me than and extra 10bhp at my power level and £1000 in costs. If I tracked my car I'd also be spending money to keep things cooler over making it any "faster".

No reason they couldn't do the Cosworth, Mark's done a few now.
 
The Cosworth SC will be ending production for good once they are done. Their manifod design was long runner:

But lets consider this, the standard stage 2 was deemed +60bhp, the 2.2 (Front Pipe Back) was +70bhp and stage 2.3 (long tube manifold) was +80bhp. So if you chose a non long tube runner you really aren't sacrificing much at all. What others don't consider is the OEM manifold heat shielding does help with heat management, going aftermarket and a supercharger I would ensure you have good heat protection. When NA the gains in the midrange will be less with one of the shorter designs but with a PD blower you're getting heaps more midrange anyway. Top end performance there will be little in it. Whilst I admit the peak manifold design is the Ace but I have never convinced myself the cost is worth it.
I doubt they would recommend Nameless with all the cracking issues they had with the manifolds.

Well that's the 1st I've heard of that happening, I call BS. It'd also be rather hard to happen. Far more likely to blow a head off or the rod will break and blow a hole in the block; but you're not going to separate the block and definitely not on something with low boost. Plus you can build boost protection in with EcuTek to prevent those kind of events from happening.
Just an FYI but this is a stock FA20 block,notice the "crack"

It's easy to say that when your is one of the straightforward ones.  You have to remember that most of the PD superchargers will require coolant draining and correctly re-filling. Turbos and centri-superchargers will require the pipework to be removed and ensured there are no leaks upon install. I would say that in most of these cases there will be some work involved by the owner to confirm everything is as it should be. Being one of a handful that self-installed for me it's not a big issue but I can understand why those who aren't so mechanically minded why it might be.
TBH I'm tempted to take the charger off of my car and trade it in, just because if I have to remove the blower myself I CBA or have the time to re-install it or be involved in the work required to do the above.

It is an interference engine.
I think I've read it's 96 stated failures on the range of vehicles/engines stated as being at risk. "Stalling" is a very blanket way of saying failure. As TommyC said, if a valve spring fails it's likely to cause terminal failure of the engine. There have been a number of reports of the rockers failing on early engines in the states, that tends to blow a hole in head. It could well be that a valve spring failure is the cause.

Speak to the dealer but I'll expect some form of payment will be required to remove the turbo and reinstall. Depending on the turbo setup it will range from relatively straightforward to quite costly. I imagine the engine is lifted and not dropped so clearance is required for that. 

Open loop is no feedback, closed loop is where the O2 feedback is used to adjust fueling. You got those crossed but otherwise spot on. It's worth noting that there is not a long term trim but various ones stored and applied over the RPM range and fueling split.
Fuel trims as above. The Subaru method for global knock control is basic using a method called advance multiplier. 2 ignition timing tables, 1 is the base table and the other the advance. The advance multiplier is just literally a multiplier for the advance table. As standard it is set to 0.7 and if the ECU picks up no signals it determines as knock the IAM will increase towards 1 in increments. If there are any signals that it determines as severe enough knock then it will stop increasing or even decrease the IAM. This is constantly changing unless at 1 with no knock, so running 95 RON fuel for a while won't make the ECU run worse once you switch to better fuel but it will take (not much) time to adjust. This is only part of the knock control strategy but the one relevant to general fuel quality. All the info you'll want is here: http://www.romraider.com/forum/topic1840.html
Battery/ECU reset just clears fuel trims and the advance multiplier and learnt ranges for accelerator pedal/throttle position sensor and possibly a few other sensors. I re-calibrate the sensors straight after an ECU flash.

Just unscrew the numberplate from the brick and you'll see the mounting bolts underneath. I have a short 5 digit on mine and the screws are nowhere near the edge.
 
You an see it in the B and K:

I'm at 6 years but 30k. Sparks will not be getting replaced this year.

It's got aftermarket wheels (TSW) and lights (Valenti). Mods are common, highly unlikely any cars are a grey import as the UK spec is good. That definitely is a UK car.

Not many people fitted the Litchfield kit. The best comparison is the base Jackson Racing or Kraftwerks kits from the US as they use the same blower and similar setup.

The general thing you have to weigh up is cost vs quality. When going to the bother of a full body respray you want it to come out well and that costs alot. Getting it done in the same colour can be done cheaper as it requires less prep work but then you want to make sure it's being done by someone with a great reputation so the finish is top notch.
