Tidgy you need to say that it was upgraded to 340bhp and had just done 3 laps of a race circuit on the hottest day of the year.

Looks great in white.

Did you get the dyno graph for the 340bhp upgrade? Not seen any numbers yet. I am interested to see the torque figures.

Yep although on paper, so not on PC, standard it was 288BHP/290lbft, after it's 330BHP/345lbft with more to come as it loosens up. The torque "line" is nice. Peaking at 3700rpm. Max power at 5700rpm. I'm still running the stock exhaust.

Standard they are all around the 280-290BHP/290-300lbft mark.

Not bad figures. Standard torque curve is nice and flat but you can get some massive gains in torque. Exhaust seems to add very little but sports cat is a must. In the hands of the best mappers they will make nearly 400ftlb but turbo is maxed out at 330bhp so next step is bigger turbo.

Nope 2 cats to keep emissions down, it will still pass a MOT with the centre cat removed.

Slightly different to what Pat told me but it is a heavy car!. The up rated ones caught fire to but neither had been through any heat cycles so to be expected.

This is a love/hate relationship for me. I love the interior and gadgets etc, just not 100% convinced on the exterior styling.

It looks much smarter in the flesh, so to speak.

Personally think it looks best in Blue, but suspect the dark grey to come will look very smart.

Yea the grey ones are the nicest imo, unfortunately getting one in that colour now in the UK is slim to none. Most of the next batch will be in blue i believe.

How come there's less than a handful of the 15's here?

I've got one on order to replace my BRZ, but I'm already fed up of the December delivery date! I've ordered a black one, but I think I'll tell the dealer I'll have any colour apart from red. Looks great in all of them I think (just don't want red!)

Love the bumper and skirt lips, but might not work quite as well on black.

Is there a discussion thread on the 2015's? Interested in the remaps that have been mentioned here.

Get in touch with Mangoletsi as they offer a dealer-fit 340bhp package. They may be able to offer you a warranty.

Otherwise I'd drop JGM / Andy Forrest / Andrew Carr a line.

Because this forum is pretty dead and has been for quite some time. Also there aren't that many in the country anyway and a lot of those owners have probably never heard of or used scoobynet before.
