The "real" FI solutions are maturing fast, but I have zero desire to spend my non-driving time nursing a potential grenade.

I've said it many times, the FR-S stock has serious chops that are fun to explore and learn to use. The OFT and E85 tune gains below five k in third or fourth gear where I spend most of my time when having fun (reasonably) on the street is what I want to improve. Does the FR-S "need" that to be fun? No, unless you really suck at driving and your only skill is stepping on the gas. However, I'm starting to "want" that real bad.
