  2. On another note, I don't know about tuning this thing if it's got a Subaru boxer engine. I don't know much about it but I was told it's a pain to even put an intake on a boxer engine because it sits so low (and upside down?). Any engine work will result in a massive amount of cash for the labour involved (unless you game to DIY). Not to mention the newer cars all seems very integrated in terms of exhaust system, meaning a lot of custom work?

    Without trying to sound rude....... You are way off the track.

    If it's a subbie engine it'll be VERY easy tune/modify.

    It's a sports car. If it gets released then the Japanese tuning houses will be all over it in a few months. You'll have off the shelf parts available for it within 6-12mth. Exhausts, intakes, tuning software, etc.

    My next car (in a few years) will be one of these or im currently drooling over a c63 amg coupe. Soooo tasty!!

    No offence taken. :whistling:

    As I've said, that's just what I've been told. And apparently that's one of the reasons why people opt for the Evo instead, along with it's forged pistons from factory.

    But considering you've had a WRX yourself, I'm not going to argue. :toast:

  3. I spoke to the Toyota bloke when the G-Sport concept was at the Sydney Motor Show and he says that the turbo version will not be available to us. That was a year ago now and I hope things have changed.

    It's a beautiful car though. :toast:

  4. SRI's just suck in hot engine bay air. I say just do it right the first time and get the Injen.

    Disagree! :whistling:

    Ooh, do tell!

    Ultimately, it comes down to what you want.

    SRI = More torque & power through the midrange, smoother transition in to lift.

    CAI = More torque & power at top end, better peak power. Not so good with the rain especially when you don't see a massive puddle coming near.

    I guess it depends on what kind of power you want. As you can see, its pretty much between drivability and peak power. I don't think there's a better or worse option between the 2.

  5. Spotted on Anzac Bridge this morning, white facelifted Sportivo with black rims, red lip, lowered and white HID foggies. Look terrific, how horrible was the jam this morning? :blink:

    Also frequently spotting graphite? ZRE in student parking at Broadway with black Toyota badge and black Kappas.

  6. QFM A1RM.

    Copped a pounding at Wakefield and loved it.

    I'll look in to these. Do you know the parts number?

    From SD's ZZT parts numbers.

    Queensland Friction Materials (QFM)

    ..... HPX: use Bendix part number and add 'HPX' to the end (0-550*C, 0.41-0.42μ)

    ..... A1RM: use Bendix part number and add 'A1RM' to the end (0-780*C, 0.4-0.48μ)

    ..... Comp 9: use Bendix part number and add 'Comp9' to the end(100-800*C, 0.42-0.44μ) (Race ONLY!)

    Bendix

    ..... Advance Front: DB1714 (SA build)

    ..... Advance Rear: DB1429

    ..... Heavy Duty Front: DB1422 (Japanese build)

    ..... Heavy Duty Rear: DB1429

    ..... General Front: DB1422 (Japanese Build)

    ..... General Rear: DB1429

    Which Bendix part number do I use?

  7. I had them on my sportivo for 2 years.

    Pro

    Excellent braking

    Handled track no worries, big time improvement (read nearly a second)

    Cons

    The dirtiest SOB pads you could imagine

    I won't be getting them again

    whitestivo

    That's alright, I can deal with cleaning. :whistling: . TRDs' are pretty dirty too, but they died after 10,000Km with 1 track day. Maybe I just brake too much. :P

  8. So my TRD black series pads are f*cked, time to find a replacement. After some research, the Ferodo DS2500 seems to be one of the better street with the possible track pads. I've looked around for the part number, the closest I've reached is the "FCP1528H" from SD's "ZZT231 Part Numbers". Can anyone confirm on these?

    Also, any other recommendations for a good street/track pad?
