"Should have been stock" mods

[Mim]

More a cosmetic thing, but some sort of plaque should of been inserted into the spot that holds the seat heater switches or is totally empty when you don't have the heated seats. Its a small thing, but just wow.


Bought one of these http://yospeed.com/scion-fr-s-subaru...onsole-plaque/ and they shipped it to me surprisingly quick. Even came with double sided tape already attached for ease of install.


My MY15 BRZ came standard with the frameless mirror. I know that is generally not standard on cars like the FRS in the states, but again I really think that should be. Anyone who has had one for a little while would likely agree it's pretty slick looking.


Oh and while I'm at it. Would you believe the BRZ in Australia gets no floor or boot mats at all? Eh? Stingy much?


Actually having a ponder I think most of our US friends would agree the FRS should simply of come from the factory in the same spec as the JDM release to begin with. Going by the number of people I read about just collecting JDM parts to mod their car closer to that spec and cost be damned!

the factory ride height complies with safety and lighting regulations, particularly lighting regulations in California. For example, if a dealership there installs TRD springs for you, they can no longer install the Scion Fog Light kit on your car, as they are below California's minimum height for lights.

You have one installed? Idea on kit price? Their site is vague.

If you don't understand a question I'm not sure you should be participating in the conversation.

Stop trolling me with these responses.

So, anybody that disagrees with your thoughts is a troll are they?
Well add me to your list then!!
As said it "leaves a lot to be desired" to you.
To put everything that every single person wants into a car is not economically feasible. You are probably the type that would then scream the car costs to much and how dare they make a profit.
There are 1000 posts on these subjects already so read up and don't be such a lazy, entitled douche when people answer.
You obviously don't want any answers other then those that support what you have already decided so why ask the question?

[GT86_PRAGUE]

Saying thanks to other posts wouldnt kill you Jimmy,
even if you dont agree with them or already know that.

Also a better sounding exhaust. TRD should of been on stock.

Neither one of you understand the topic and for your inability to comprehend context clues, I'm sorry. Maybe ask your mommy for another lesson.

The topic was OBVIOUSLY geared towards people with similar sentiments as my own who would like to discuss and share.

If you started a thread titled: "I like red. Who else likes red and what do you like about it?", I would not then reply with: "No, I don't like red. No one should like red. I like blue."

This is what you're doing.

It's off-topic, out of context and just plain a hindrance to the prospective conversation.

Please move on.

A shark fin antenna. I'm not a fan of the RC car look, but still haven't spent the money to switch mine out.

I appreciate the replies! Sorry for negativity.

There seem to be a lot of things people have bought that they were unhappy with (CAI, cat back,some other things), so it's good to know which mods substantiate actual positive change and people are happy with down the road.

[Calum]

Steering rack bushing, short shifter, shift bushing, better spring & damper package, camber adjustment, better tires, a tune that doesn't knock, and more sound damping.

Mods that I enjoy but add NVH and thus aren't for the masses, front control arm bushings, rear control arm bushings, diff bushing inserts, and rear sub frame inserts.

[Calum]

@Captain Snooze I think you might need one of these. This topic might be better off in the general section, but there's nothing wrong with the question.

Awesome. Exact ideas I was looking for. Is there a single kit containing all these upgraded bushings or did you piece it together? Best source?

- front camber bolts
- UEL header + tune (to eliminate torque dip)
- liquid-to-liquid oil cooler (similar to OEM forester XT setup)
