sad day for me

[tofurun]

Signed for my brz yesterday and should be here by tomorrow... yet i am already having the internal battle of getting the most hp NA or slapping a SC kit on it... Gotta love down grading to more than half hp from previous car. (begin flame)

yeah, because HP is what this car is all about...

I'll pray for you


Yes I'll give you the rice noodle😘

Exact reaction i was expecting I know my reasons for buying this car and its obviously has nothing to do with hp from the factory. I want the ultimate drivers car and IMO this 86 twins r the real deal. I love the entire back history. I just cant stand it not being able to burn the tires up if i wanted to. Do I think anything over 200 defeats the purpose of this car? sure I do to an extent. Do i still want that 240+hp feel every now and then. ohhh yea

Seriously, why are you buying it if it's already a disappointment? I find the thing gutless, but it does so many other things well and offers great utility I found it a workable compromise. It sounds like it' s a more significant problem for you, though. You might want to reexamine the purchase.

I'm not gonna say "Why are you buying this car then?" Or "Buy Mustang!" Or other stuff. I'll just say, whatever makes you happy & not regretting it, do it. BUT just make sure to drive around as is for 1k THEN decide what you wanna do.

The purchase is sound. the lack of power is a problem for me (never said the car itself was a disappointment i absolutely love the car). like you said everything else is amazing but i dont want to compromise. im not here complaining im just waiting for the car to get here tomorrow, cant sleep, so i figured i would stir up some trouble in the off topic.

Yea for sure. its gonna be a weekend car for me. I am in a really small town and have been trying to hunt down another twin owner. have seen one SC on a local tuners facebook post but cant find the guy. going to order everything in September so it should give me time to feel the car out completely and hopefully find someone making power NA nearby i can check out and someone FI to look at also. im sure i am not the only one here that have sat with this dilemma lol.

Correct, you're not the only one went through this dilemma. I didn't. I liked my BRZ w NA power... but that doesn't mean everyone think the same. It's your car, do whatever you like... at the same time, when you post something here, expect member to disagree w you. They have their own opinion & ideas.

I smell a pervious Honda owner.
Saw Tokyo Drifft one too many times?
Want to get into that Stance/Hellaflush scene so badly?

Meh, come back when you actually driven it for a month or two.

WOW - @tofurun are you all wound up .......

Congratulations on getting a BRZ ......

Yep, several folks have modified their FR-S/BRZ to allow it to make more power.

Everything from a drop in free-er flowing air filter to an engine swap .... and everything in between.

Lots of good information on this site ..... to help you figure out what you need (want) ..... and then how to do it.

Happy modding.
