First of all, i am a super noob as someone said, it's true so why not admit it? I saw this car when it was launched and i fell in love with it at first sight, today everyone says it's the best RWD car in 15 years and will be the funnest car to drive. Add up everything great ive heard about the car up to the present and i am solid on getting this car. One thing that must be made crystal clear, i am in no ways even close to being wealthy enough to get a $25k loan for the car itself, then just throw in a bunch of mods without getting very used to it. Of course i will use the car stock first and chances are that will be for a long time. The mods i mentioned in the OP are what i imagine i will eventually add one by one. I will learn more as i go on and i will look back at this post and think the same you all are. Right now i'm probably at like 5% of really knowing this car. So i guess i deserve all the hate, but whatever, im a noob right now. Nobody just discovers a car they really like, fantasize about how great they will have it be, know all the nitty gritty about it, and be an expert on it in like the first few weeks of discovering the car. Same really goes for anything as complicated as an automobile. This was pretty long, but hope you all know that i know barely anything about the specs of this car, but i like to plan way ahead and i guess i'm just getting ahead of myself. Sorry to all you "experts."
You should try using the "Tab" key, its located to the left of "Q" and it works wonders.

If I was to get an FRS, that would probably be the only really nice thing I've gotten, and its definaetly not like my parents would buy it for me.

Ok good deal. When you go to buy a turbo for your FRS you'll find all kinds of stuff that is supposedly compatible with both that car and the BRZ. DON'T get those. You'll have all kinds of issues getting them to work right. You have to make sure that the turbo is exclusively for the FRS.

You do know the two cars are built in the same factory from the same parts.

Apart from bumper trims and grilles the two cars are identical. Anything else made for one will work on the other.

The FRS is a tad different, important distinction. The turbo setup has to account for the power increase when the V-TEC kicks in so OP doesn't end up wrapped around a tree.

The only part you got correct was the no part. Everyone is so quick to jump to conclusions and in this case, its assuming I'm a rich boy who's parents will throw money to at a whim. The FRS stock is very affordable. The future of what I do with the car is completely up in the air, I'm just fantasizing of how amazing I could make it.

P.S. I'm pretty sure this thread should have ended a while ago...

Quit posting then?

And yes, you do come across as a spoiled rich kid.

This is not meant to be an attack, but you maybe should work on your wording and how others perceive you.

Also, sorry the internet can be so toxic...

Hey Turbo FRs, best advice is not to add more fuel to this fire. Sometimes a troll, likes to call other people troll.

Ther3s is a lot of lack of respect here, but hey, its the internet. Every fat potato couch has got a pc hooked up to it.

before you post any question research it first carefuly, or just put on your flame suit. Because anyone will find a reason to grind you...

Everyone is old and wise here, never made a mistake, and never, ever, never been a noob. LOL///

Good luck modding your car.

I heard the 2014 has Mashimoto ZX Tires and Motec System exhausts as optional extras too.
