its probably what greddy is doing for gushi's FR-S anyway.
WRX engine might bolt up, but I highly doubt it will fit. None of the IC pipes would work. Would be much easier to just add a FI kit to the motor. 12.5 to 1 compression is perfectly doable on a low boost turbo setup with DI. You could always just put a thicker headgasket in to lower compression if you have to or lower comp pistons and rods if you plan on going with more boost. I have installed plenty of FI kits on high compression Honda ITR motors before and they were fine with low boost. DI is just that much better with the ability to controll fuel to a finer point. I love boost like any other boost junky, but I love the high rpm NA motors to. I believe this car will see plenty of both types in the aftermarket once the car becomes available to the public and I cant wait.

If MSRP is $23k, and there is options, then I'm just gonna walk into that dealer with my Pedophile Octopus Dad and walk out with an FR-S for $26ish OTD with a Push Start and Dual CC. That's how it's going down, April 1st.

It would be awesome if the stitching was color matched to the exterior.

We can only hope...they already screwed up the car so if there are no options and come on guys you all know deep down in your hearts there won't be...this is it...dual climate control and push button start as options? If they were scion would have shown it tonight...

What you see is what you get...cheap and ghetto...typical scion.

Maybe they can redeem themselves in a release version...

One other thing I noted: it takes premium fuel. Not a deal-breaker but I was hoping I'd finally be able to switch back to regular. Filling up my WRX here in Hawaii @ $4.20 a gallon is beginning to hurt the wallet.

I'd tell you this...

Bumper skins cost $150-200, and another $150 to paint them. Change it yourself.
