Great video mate, helped me decide on getting the Spec-L for my '13 BRZ. I chose the Spec-L and not the L2 since it's a bit louder and considered still very daily-able. Although I do hear droning at 2.5-3K and when engine-braking which has put me off a little. Still want some UEL's on it and maybe a dual resonated FP if it'll tame the droning. Keen to follow you on your journey!

How the silvers coilovers went? I have some and having the same issue.

In QLD you can check petrol prices ahead of time with something like the RACQ Fair Fuel Finder website or app 😉

Try being rear ended before you reached 5k miles on it!😒

Hello from Sydney, Lach!

Really cool review. I have been looking at this lil speedster for a bit now and comparing it w the WRX and a few other cars. It does seem to have a decent bit of practicality to it and looks like an enjoyable drivers car! I am a bit of a horsepower adrenaline junkie, but it seems sufficient to thrash about in! Have you taken long trips in it? Again, I love the format of your video and it is much more balanced than the typical bloke here in USA trying 5 cars a day or week and criticizing things far too much. It often seems less a review than a critique. One question, is the horsepower actually higher than it is rated? I have seen people say that you actually have more than Subaru states. Also, with an air filter kit and exhaust, how much does that move the needle?

Why does no one own a stud tool?

Cheers Lach, great review thanks! IMHO the elephant in the room is the oil. 15k intervals on 0W-20 is only ticking compliance boxes and has nothing to do with proper protection and longevity. My 2023 Oz delivered BRZ got 5W-30 at 1500km, 4500km and 8500km, from now on it'll be 5k intervals. It also got a HARROP s/c which at around 300rwhp (5psi) simply transforms the whole experience. BTW I dropped the pan at 1500km and it had almost no RTV. For occasional track use I will be fitting a VERUS large capacity aluminium pan when they become available.

Very informative Lach thanks mate I’ve been a bit confused on sizes for my 2008 sti hatchback

Nice vid man. I'm thinking a Harrop supercharger would be better for this car though.

car beats a wrx in a drag race lol

Good review. I'd add that not being fast and being merely fast enough is what makes it so much fun! You can wring its neck without fear of going straight to jail. I've driven a 911 and they are in a different league of performance. A 911 is a very serious sports car with very high limits that I can't get close too. Whereas the BRZ limits are lower and you can have fun with that. I'd even argue that you will get more smiles driving the BRZ around then the 911.

We hope you try out our plug and play amplifier!

I got the new BRZ tS a couple of months ago and love it but live in fear of getting a flat. The dealership wanted $1400 for a spare so I told em to go to buggery. Can anyone give advice where I can get a basic compact spare that both fits in the wheel well and also the Brembo brake calipers of the tS.?

You are a little harsh on the poor BRZ for its 6.6 0-100 km/h time. No the Camry won't beat that at its 7.2 seconds. What small and relatively affordable sports coupe is faster? Oh, thats right there aren't any! The MX-5 has similar pace and you have to spend a lot of money for a BMW 2 Series to actually go faster.

B R Zed sounds far more appropriate 😂

I had a mate that got an STI. He’s now marrying the girl that gave it to him. Poor bloke 😂

The indicators. The rev hang. They are my two main gripes. Yes, the cup holders are a pain compared to my 09 Hilux. The clutch is different. I get what you say, regarding the closing of the boot. Getting in and out is a wee challenge, I'm only 170cm and the girl is 175cm, but, we are in our sixties, so.........😉 However, I love it. 2023 World rally blue, manual, S spec. Got less than 7000kms on it.

Mad video 👍🏻

Get it tuned, 500 $/£ Instant 340bhp on an STI, cheapest and best mod. Rear ARB, stabilises handling, also cheap as chips. If the car is near 20 years old, the OEM shocks must be changed for something better, the old shocks will have you in a ditch. Another 500-800 but worth every penny.

Have this and love it i just was wondering is it normal for my exhaust quieter than it originally was?

what is the size of your wheels and tire thank u

dont know why im watching this I have an Elantra N. Great spec Lach car is dope!

Where did you get the wrx carbon fiber around your shifter ?

Hello, where can I buy this duck tail? I can't find it.

pretty sure this is the exhaust I'm getting for my 23 GR86. just want CF tips instead of that blueish hue on these

Do the 2011 sti cv axles work for the the wrx tranny I’m trying to swap my steering knuckle wheel hub assembly

Wow you don’t even have to take off the knuckle

Hiya, what are your thoughts now after months of having these? Do the pogo stock of the oem goes away with these? Have you track it?

what is your wheel setup? I know its the AMS wheels, what size?

Does it burble on downshifts?

Sounds better than your HKS every day of the week. the tone is really nice and I just can't see the value on the HKS. Almost a UEL vibe going on.

Not a great sound to ne honest. I'd suggest it's not worth it. but it's yours and if you are happy, then good for you.

I only have one fuse attached to the silver bits if i take off the stop fuse and put on there is it constant power?

Another solid video, Just straight to the point with everything! We specifically produce LEDs for auto. Can we invite you to do a review for our product? How can we connect with you

Personally id go with equal length headers i know that takes away for the most part the traditional Subaru rumble but the flow efficiency is what i think makes them worth the money

When you're downshifting are you blipping the throttle or just shifting and letting the clutch out?

You ended up with much greater camber on the back than the front? So far from ideal. sorry about the ding, same thing happened to my last car. Shit.

Full exhaust and a tune is a non negotiable must have. Stock tune is awful on a wrx.

I had the Remark axle back on for a while but cold starts at 6:00 a.m. for work started to get disapproving looks from the neighbours. Back to stock and the search continues.

What wheels and tires do you have?

This vs legamax premium?

Thank you, greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽!

Be careful with the front pipe. I’d say get headers first and see how you like the sound. On the first Gen it’s a fact that you should just leave the front pipe. As removing that will make a lot of rasp and noise. There are good ones like double res hks but very expensive for little benefit. Good choice on the catback tho, looking at getting the HKS single exit for my 86. :)

Keep grinding man! Still love the vids. Exhaust sounds crispppp

Is the exhaust heavier than stock?

Sounds great mate! Can't wait to hear what it sounds like when you turbo it

Is this better than the tomei exhaust

Very nice pick up

Nice vid man. You ever go to any car meets or cruises?
