1. Greddy Evo exhaust - insane amount of drone.
2. Cheap stretched tires. |

This thread has got to be one of my favorites of late.
Interesting to see what "must have" mods many consider useless. Never thought I'd see an OFT listed here for example. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Mine should be arriving any day now, so I'll see which camp I fall into. Stage 1 until the spring, then consider a header and Stage 2. My worst mod so far: custom license plate. Don't get me wrong, I like the plate, but I also think it's a little silly/ricer, and probably was money i should have spent elsewhere. Oh well, live and learn.

OFT tunes are basic presets as long as you have an EL or URL header. As well as the fuel type. Now I'm pretty sure you can hit up Shiv and for a couple extra bucks he can make a custom tune after data logging. Also something to note is that OFT's currently have no flex fuel tuning available. Which means your only option is to run an E-Tune from Delicious or Moto East. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Also It was up for sale by me after 1 day of use and 80 miles driven. The guy who got it off of me practically got a new one. Last edited by SUB-FT86; 08-24-2016 at 12:27 PM. |

Never dyno'd before or after so I don't have numbers to back it up. Butt dyno'd was triggered so my guess is about 10hp maybe? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

OFT Stg2 E85 is very nice IMO. Been running that tune for a few weeks now and I would say its not a huge bump in power but the car feels as it should have from the factory.

Worst mod: 18" wheels and sticky(er) tires.
Wheels were relatively light Enkeis, with Hankook Evo II tires. I really liked the look, and the grip was better than OE, but ... I track my car, and it was noticeably slower with the 18s. The stock motor just doesn't have the power to overcome the extra rotational inertia. The biggest problem, though, was the way the tires affected the balance. My BRZ understeered on OE rubber, and it got quite a bit worse with the Hankooks. I found out (after the fact) that the rear gains camber with body roll faster than the front. Sticky tires = more roll = more grip at the back = more understeer. So for about a $1000, I had a slower car that was less fun to drive. Fail. |

The key to avoiding disappointment in anything is to understand and accept what you're getting into and adjusting expectations accordingly.
I see it as a dip your toe in tuning tool/gateway. It isn't the cheapest thing out there, but the risk is fairly low. If you bought new for $500 USD, and resold for $400, you're out $100. If you bought an Ecutek license, you're just out $350+ forever, plus the cost of the tune. I'm not married to the car enough yet to make that investment, but at least with the OFT, I always could in the future.
