And there, find your own limits, learn to extend them, and actually see the shortcoming of both driver and the car, and seek proper knowlege, experience, and talents to find what needs to be tailored to your own tastes, goals, and skills.

Throwing a bunch of dedicated parts to make it fit or match a certain category of tune, is not always something rewarding or meaningful to the owner who does most of the driving in his own car?

You should enjoy it step by step, and learn it and become much more able as a driver. As ultimately it is the owner/driver that will do the driving and develop the capability to actually tailor it to a finer goal.

The FT86 base car is a white canvas, and the designers went through a great deal of planning and design to accommodate custom tailoring. There are various wire-harness paths to where owners can fit custom gauge leads in the chassis. The main body structure is made from the same expensive high tensile steel used on Lexus cars to assure long term solidity, dynamic rigidity, and shaped in such ways to accommodate additional safety devices. The arms and joints where one can replace easier than the main body, are made with designs and thoughts to allow for easy re-fitting, and even the arms on the suspension are designed to allow truer dynamic alignment at different ride heights with use of longer key arms and wider angle pivots. Bumpers and body panels are designed to be easily removed for upgrades and service as a user-maintained car.

There are much more thought to that went into the car than most previous sports car in this respect, and as such, we need to understand this, and make use of this to get the most out of the FRS/BRZ/86.

I want to thank you for your input, it seems I was being to hasty with my decison and not thinking about the true spirit of this car and my own intenions of owning a car I put love and effort into making it my own. Also removing the fun of tuning a car. You and everyone who posted here saved me from making a dumb decision in the future. Thanks
