We can have FRS/BRZ meets without the rest of the lineup. Which makes this forum more closely nit and personal. vs a forum like NASIOC which spans across many tuner sub communities. We only care about 1 car here, not a maker.
Well the thing about Subarus is they're all basically the same thing. For example my car now is an 02 WRX with front brakes from an 06 WRX and rear brakes from an 04 Legacy. I've swapped trunks 3 times and have no idea what year my current one came off of. I'm assuming the ft86 will be compatible with a lot of these parts too and will just become a new part of the Subaru parts bin. It's a good thing I think because you can pick and choose from a lot of different options, and the aftermarket is huge. Lets say the BRZ/FRS comes with sliding calipers and you'd rather have fixed. You can pick up the 4/2pot kit from an 06 or Brembos from an STI. Hopefully that goes for the engine too. Exhaust and suspension will probably not be compatible but I think a lot of stuff will be, especially GR stuff.
