Alchemy - the study of how to turn LS1's into a 20B. :science:


WHY do they feel the need to put back seats in it? Seriously?

This image illustrates how much of the headlight the BRZ front clip covers, and I think it looks a lot better than having the inward point fully exposed like on the Toyota. I do hate that big-rear end black plastic chunk on the front of the BRZ but since I live in a province that does not require a front plate, an option would be to swap out that whole grill for something less gross, while on the GT I'd have to either have to live with the holes, patch them or get a new front clip with no holes in it. I also like the shape of the BRZ's mouth better.

This thread is a sine wave.

I was just thinking that. Keeps flipping between hopeful and hopeless. :ohdear:

Professional race teams?

I know Subaru has an RA trim level of the BRZ for just this purpose. Narrow steelies with lovely rubber, cheap paint, missing interior, etc because they know you're gonna pull everything off and build it into a race car.

This is loving brilliant. When did they start with the forward thinking?

You guys realize Mazda is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy right? They'll be lucky if they can convince GM or FIAT/Chrysler agrees to take them over.

So yep I'm sure that new rotary sports car is just around the corner, any day now. :roflolmao:

This makes me very sad. They've drawn me in more and more over the past couple of years with all their cool new ads. :(

Oh, the Toyobaru has drop spindles stock? Cool.
I don't know what this is. Is it actually cool or is that sardonic?

Yep, it must be the transition of the injectors (both to DI only) is my guess, then. Seems dumb since you can get away with one or the other just fine and still meet emissions.

Isn't this slightly better though, in that you get the benefits of direct injection without the coking of the valves/intake from EGR crud?
