Its better to wait anyways.

Cobb still doesn't have a car to work on yet. The development can only go so far without ecu work.

If somebody with a BRZ wants to let me hookup my laptop to it, I can see if I can pull the ECU ROM and get the party started...

I spoke with them over the phone. They were worried that the ecu's were going to be different. Toyota is the worst for ecu hacking. They lock that stuff down big.

But so far everything has been Subaru including the ECU's and Cobb was happy to hear this.

Hey old.guy, what's your overall goal with the car? If you don't mind me asking. Track car, street tuning with track day usage? Or just ***** out anything you can do you'll do? Just trying to get an idea of where you're headed with it is all.

You can have mine if you want it. I decided against it. Way too impractical and I don't need/want a third car.

Yes looks that way. So looks like Toyota was the lead in the motor dept. I hope going forward that Subaru's in the future will get better pistons now based on this friendship.

I guess my pics do suck, there are a couple BRZs on that truck. I assume it was going to Stevens Creek, but I could be totally wrong.
