Look up foamectomy on the miata forums, a lot of taller dudes either do that or switch over to buckets with really low rails, although 6'5 is quite a stretch lol

Nice to see some miata love. Next miata is suppose to go back to it's roots and be light again, can't wait!

A NB that might work as its mainly a hight issue (head being to high). A NA is legs and height. The seat won't go back far enough for me to get behind the wheel.

Check out MotorTrend.

BRZ took 4th as best drivers car, beating out the McLeran... but losing to the GTR.

991 raped them all.

TURBO BRZ it could be true!!!
Turbocharged Subaru BRZ In The Works: Report

I would like 280 hp in a 2800lb car sounds nice.

Yea. but I don't get why still we are stuck with 2XX HP with 1.8~2.0L engines..

Is it that government's emission standard makes it difficult to push it more?

Still 280hp ish on light weight car is pure awesomeness

Subaru is developing a turbocharged direct-injection version of its familiar horizontally opposed, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. One use for the 2.0T will be the recently launched rear-wheel-drive BRZ coupe, sources say.

The engine uses a single twin-scroll turbocharger and straight direct-injection developed in-house, rather than the DI/port-injection system engineered with Toyota for the current normally aspirated BRZ and the Scion FR-S.

Tuned for the BRZ, the turbo could generate 280 hp and 250-plus pounds-feet of torque. That would be a significant increase in output compared with the 2.0-liter boxer in the 2013 BRZ, which makes 200 hp and 151 pounds-feet of torque.

The BRZ turbo likely will debut as a 2014 model.

The FA20DIT has already been developed, in fact it's already in the Legacy GT in Japan. SUBARU :

As for the BRZ and Turbo, right now it's all cannon fodder as both men in charge of Subaru and Subaru Technica International have said that there would not be a turbocharged version of the BRZ. I'm hoping for it as well, but it seems they don't want to interfere with their STI sales as that is their flagship(Remember Nissan North America and why we didn't get a turbo 240sx?)

In all honesty, I will probably be going forced induction on my own and not worrying about the factory version since it will more than likely be conservatively tuned anyways. Plus these engines are already proving themselves as little powerhouses being pushed into the mid 500hp range so far, and I'm sure they will be pushing for more. I remember when everyone thought the compression on the s2000 was too high for boost and that you needed to lower the CR for any reliability, which is now proven not necessary and there are guys pushing 7-800 hp on stock internals. I can't even imagine that much horsepower in an S2000 or an FRS/BRZ

This place really needs to get hold of this SpamBot issues.

Figured you guys would like these videos. It shows some of the different features they implemented and why and how they did them.

That's an incredible torque line.. LOL max torque @ 2000rpm?

I guess Subaru wanted to make sure we all know the BRZ was styled by Toyota.

2014 WRX

kinda reminds me of 1.8 MKIV Jetta's/Golfs'. They reach max torque at about 1800rpm

K_style · 10-23-2012, 11:59 AM

Did you guys see BRZ with AWD in first video doing dyno?? wonder what that was..

Cheesy Doriftos · 10-23-2012, 12:18 PM

Sup with the speculation of a near $50,000 BRZ STI thing?

lolololololololol

It's not really a big deal anymore since the FRZ has built up such a large popularity, it has practically forced wheel manufacturers to produce wheels in proper sizes and the 5x100 lug pattern. Enkei, Work, RAYS, SSR, and many other name brands are already making many of their wheels in the aggressive sizing. No lug conversion necessary!

I would like to beat the fuck tard that made it 5x100 with a club. It's not just about buying wheels in good sizes, its about having commonality between cars.

STi us 5x114.3 as are all of Toyota's current cars. So why is this POS 5X100 other than they intend to offer a premium with 5x114.3 down the line.
