I'm a new owner and after lots of front wheels drive performance cars can confirm that the GT/BRZ are really great fun!
Ok they are down on power for your fast dual carriage ways and motorway driving but on a good twisty A road they are a hoot.
It's possible to stay with cars that are a lot more powerful and it does surprise them when they might leave you on a straight and then you catch up through the bends...
As many on the forum members have gone FI I'm sure you'll have an opportunity to try out the extra performance before you take the plunge.
My car has had a map and air filter only but is noticeably quicker than standard and I would recommend that as a first stage if your unsure about spending big bucks straight away.
All the best with your decision.

My nearest shell garage is in the next town approx five miles away however there is a cracking bendy A road all the way there so getting fuel is always fun!
Nitro all the time for me too as Rob said it's not much different in price but performance and clean are better.
Plus Lego toys at the moment too!
It's a win win win....

Gutted for you.
Did you loose the back end on the roundabout or just hit the curb?
Good news no one hurt and that the bodywork is ok.
Hope you get it fixed soon and it hasn't put you off the car.

If your not using regularly then yes a trickle charger is a good idea, always used them on my motorbikes and for little cost it's a no brainier really.
Easy to fit, just remember to disconnect before reversing out the garage.

Not sure on yellow myself... Probably need to see it in the flesh...

Welcome along!
Good choice!
-
Well that's not far!
I know Hook very well as I have friends who live in Wild Herons just of the bypass.
I'm there at least once a week.
-
It was good to put some faces to the names yesterday and great to see the cars in action on the track.
I look forward to next years TSS with anticipation.

Thanks for the directions Rob!

I'm coming too with a freshly cleaned car!
Well, cleaned a week ago. Been sat in the garage ever since.
Does anyone know if spectators can park in or near the pits?
-
Miles from me!
-
Good choice!
I'm a new owner too as had mine only a month but I can tell you you'll love it..
Look forward to seeing you at track days next year?

Looking forward to coming to this...
Can anyone tell me if the pits open to spectators?

Anyone on here in a 62 plate blue one this morning near Goodwood??
We waved at the last minute, however we were pushing on a bit....
-
Yep
Fancy that...years since I've been on gravel. Could be a fun day out?

Seems a lot of money for a "fake" TRD..
-
Thought the TRD was only white or black?
Looks good in different colour though. I like...

I like the difference Kevin between the black of the spoiler and the painted finish.
Would look even better with lower valance in carbon...
As others have said Black and orange do complement very well.

It's one I've had for twenty years!
God I feel old admitting that...
Will reveal all once it's on with my new GT 86.org stickers that turned up today.
Does that mean I now have a modified car? Oh god will have to phone insurance company straight away..
Right not risking it, I'll just put it back in the garage.

Welcome and nice to see it be driven as it should be!
-
I will do some of my own but they won't be up to that standard!
Waiting till I put my own plate on then will update.
-
Yes it is!
Your mates a great photographer too!
The car is all over the internet. Not that it bothers me as I will be driving it hard. That's what they are for. Its been really well serviced and still has four years warranty so I thought for the price I paid what the hell!
I have some plans for it over the next few years but first I am just enjoying getting used to it.
Would love to know any more info on the car as I am a bit geeky when it comes to service history etc...

Love my heated alcantara seats as it helps with lower back pain.
Not so keen on leather as I have found in the past that on track you can find yourself sliding out of the seat when cornering hard.
Horses for courses really....
