Here's my two cents on this: Yes, you can do things to your BRZ, FRS or GT86 to make the car better. I'm the one to know especially having project cars my self (still own currently today) to make my car into what I think could be the best version of what it can be.
But, for all the faults that I know from my FRS - that brings my blood boil sometimes. I love that car, regardless of its faults. It's what I think when reviewers call a soul. Many of them, hand on heart will swear by gods all mighty hands that the Japanese can't make a car without a soul.
I know that the manual transmission is a recycled Lexus IS250 gear box. The developers made a new auto gears for the damn thing, why could they make a new manual one?
The ride is ridiculous in low speeds, and I don't live in a 3rd world country. The stupid headlamps, DRL turns off during the night, but I want to look flash gordon as possible with the *****y LED strips.
But, I love this car with faults.
You can make this car better by putting sound denting materials in it to make it quieter, but you'll loose the sense of hearing while your driving. And I'm pretty sure that the engineers *COUGH* with budget in mind *COUGH* made the choice to put as much needed sound denting material that they thought it was needed. You can make the car faster by putting a turbo in it and many of our members do! But you'll loose some characteristics from the engine. Maybe it would be peddle feel. Could be immediate power you might lose.
What ever it is, in my personal opinion if you want a quieter ride. Then... probably bought the wrong car.
And above anything I say, this should matter to you the most: Do what ever you like.
Plus this is a DIY forum, put a instructions up with pics so people can see what you have done.
