Wish and pray to the toyobaru gods and maybe eventually a fi version may come out (not saying its impossible) but for now the only option is to do it yourself. Even if Toyota and subaru started to work on a fi version of the 86, it would be a year until it came out.

I would be willing to bet they have been working on it since before the car was even released.
Where people seem to miss the point is they will not actually do anything with it until they can make money from it.
They are not a charity, goodwill ambassador or fairy godmother but a for
profit business that needs to ensure they will make money before they do a thing!
I work for a company that makes brake rotors and we are working on trying to develop rotors for 2017 models that meet the OEM specs and price point. The difference of 3 or 4 cents per part can make or break the deal. That is three years away and we are talking one small part of the vehicle!
