He's not concerned about the economy much, he is just wondering if the extra power (less mpg) in the S2K is beneficial over the 86/BRZ. I said the S2K is a much better car and more rewarding to drive (driven both).

Got some damage today, someone either deliberately or accidentally dropped something glass on the road as we were coming towards each other and as a result I drove through a shower of glass at 60mph.

Decided to get whole new bumper for £112 already painted.

Someone scraped my rear today and didn't leave a note, not sure if I'll need a full repsray of the bumper or not

Not only the cost to fix it that's annoying, it's the time and effort of getting it done.

And people look at me weird when I park at the empty part of car parks across 2 bays.

Thing is the wife parked it in a position where there really wasn't a space next to it, yet some cretin decided to have a go (and fail)!

Sorry to hear the bad news but where do you get a pre-painted bumper from, Honda?

Any dealer mate. Cheapest at Holdcroft Honda at that price. Lower part is a lot more.

Managed to grab some mint premier edition recaros.
Loads better than the standard ep3 seats.
Very happy indeed

Nice. Just need an OEM gear knob now.

To those with an S2K, how many miles per tank do you get? A friend of mine is asking as he is torn between the S2K and GT86/BRZ.

260-290

it is oem. its off an FD2 though

the standard one was scratched and the FD2 one was cheaper than getting a refurb or a new EP3 knob.

As others have said between 250 to 300/320ish depending on whether I've been doing shorter town type journeys or longer runs.

EP3 knob looks better. Should have spent the extra.

If you did the refurb yourself, all it would cost you is the price of some sand paper / wet'n'dry

Obligatory "Skunk 2 weighted shift knob really improved the shift feel, the standard knob is too light" post.
