Learn me Tribeca

Anyone with experience?

Only in "the flying ** grill being the only reason I really ever looked at them" sort of way.

Lived on the Tribeca/Chinatown border for 5 years. Some very nice restaurants. Some very fancy, expensive, yet mediocre restaurants. Some very fancy, expensive, and amazing restaurants. My favorite bar in the world is there.

Pretty good subway access, especially if your destination was on the west side. Tunnel traffic sucks.

Housing was expensive and up. Parking was ridiculous (on street difficult to find, garages extraordinarily expensive).

Or is there some other kind of Tribeca?

Sorry, Peter, I meant the Subaru.

I prefer the malevolent Tribeca to the B9 Tribeca.

I hear they make great engine donors for Legacies. :)

Pretty sure its just a rebodied Outback.

If only Subaru made an STi version called the Malign.

That is indirectly where I'm going with the inquiry. Apparently it uses a BZ30 or BZ30D engine which was also used in the Legacy or the Outback. I'm wondering if anyone knows more about modest performance improvements of those engines and the manual transmissions used OEM.

This thread would have been a lot simpler if you had just said that in the first place ;)

AFAIK there was no OEM manual mated to the EZ30 engines (no such thing as a BZ30) at any point, but they DO mount up as if there were. Perrin did a build blog on one here, lots of good info: http://blog.perrinperformance.com/perrin-h6-build-up/

H6 818 or FRS/BRZ

Yah, I basically effed this thread from the get-go. Thanks for the link. I was kinda thinking normally aspirated but they're getting some pretty doggone impressive numbers with boost. Too bad they don't do a kit...
