I came to the conclusion that I just don't need that power to enjoy this car. Exact reasons why I sold my WRX & 335i and replaced them with this car.

I have a few other cars in my garage (Honda Accord, Honda Fit, Volvo S90) and driving the FRS/86 after them is a beautiful thing

None of those other cars give the same emotionally connection like these twins.

Also, since your in Ontario. You must also factor in that no insurance company would legally insure you with such extreme modifications like FI. Of course you can just not tell them....but in the case of an accident you could end up in a horrible legal situation.

Of course, these are just my opinions on this subject.

You make the final decision.

I would encourage anyone to check with their own broker. These laws are fairly new.
You can modify as much as you want and get full coverage on your car. You have to go to one of a couple of specialty insurance companies though and it is gonna cost you. You have to pay to play.
