@akahenry I'm one of those sick and twisted individuals that looks forward to parts breaking on the car... That and it gives me a good excuse to buy more car parts

@manostick that is actually extremely interesting to hear, I'll have to look into it and if I can figure it out I'll be jumping straight on that from the get go! The BRZ feels amazing but even my DD with 128k had a bit of an edge, would be great to bring that in line and give the car the feeling it needs.
@vhx1 already planning a supercharger the first day the power hit actually bothers me. Will probably be the first time a kid races me in a v6 honda odyssey TBH.

So my only major concern with the BRZ/FRS is the FA20... Have there been any horror stories about THIS boxer motor? I know living in New England, specifically NH there are so many WRX/STIs around that the shop I take my car to is pumping out 2-3 WRX/STI rebuilds a month. Sometimes more. I get that most of these kids are turning up the boost on questionable tunes BUT still seems a bit much.

It could also be the turbo jitters and kids see the potential for more power cheaply and go for it.
