Hello all, this is my first post here and I have to thank everyone for making such a great community for this car.

Now that that is out of the way. I am taking receipt of my 2016 Oceanic FR-S around the end of September, beginning of October. I know I want to get a little more pep from the motor, but I am not exactly sure how I want to go about it. It's coming with the TRD springs, sway bars, brake pads, quick shifter, and muffler.

This is my short term plan. Keep it minimal for about the first three years. I'm thinking GrimmSpeed intake, ECUtek reflash, Subaru radiator/oil heat exchanger, and some general chassis stiffening stuff. Maybe changing the thermostat, but I live in Washington and it's rarely super hot out.

Quesiton about this^. Should I wait until after the break in period is over to reflash, or does it not really matter?

In the long term, I like the idea of going for a turbo, making about 200-230 WHP and trying to tune it so that I get great fuel economy. Don't get me wrong, I love driving a high output vehicle (and this car is probably super fun when it makes 250-300 whp,) but it will be a daily and I want something reliable, with great economy, and just a bit of extra pep with a smooth torque curve.

Frankly I would love to see this car hit a MPG of 40-50. It'd be nice to show the world that a car can be fun, and economical. Not sure what exactly would be required to do this, or if something like that is even possible.

I looked around to see if anyone was trying to do an economy build but didn't really find anything. Mainly just people talking about what kind of mileage they are getting after they did their build.

Thanks for reading!
