Spotted this thread on the US Subaru BRZ forum - www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8374 - gives links to a selection of service manuals. These need to be treated with some caution (as they apply to the LHD BRZ, not the RHD GT86), but there's some interesting stuff in the service manual . . . for example, changing spark plugslooks like it's notfor the faint-hearted.

Thanks.

Anyone found an owners manual or handbook yet?

Other than the ones I got with the car no, I haven't checked the Haynes Website yet though!

Nice one, Thanks.

I know i'll be checking they install the Grommet over the tie-down hole. It soemtihng the dealers missed alot in the States.

Damn so many checks! The Toyoto production system states that if any defects are found they stop production and sort it out. Therefore you should not need this many checks and thus save some £££

I wonder if the cars are being produced using Subaru's production system since it in their Gunman Plant. Not as good

Man oh man I hope I never need to do a spark plug change any time soon. Good to see an oil change is very easy and well worth doing after the engine has done 1000 miles or so.

The spark plug change is crazy

its easy enough to change the plugs on the impreza EJ20 engine just be removing some stuff above it like air intake etc. Hopefully someone will work out an easier way to do it than that!

Nice to see the engine has a timing chain rather than the belt on the Impreza engine though!

I have read one online, so they are available. The ft86 forum might have a link somewhere.
