I'm going to be a bit negative here to the guy in the video.
I watched everything going back to the initial install of his S/C. It seems from the get go he had negative associations with the car. Every time something went wrong with his build it came off as it was a fault of Toyota/Subaru.
The fact is this. He rushed out and bought a first year car.
Turned around and bought the first s/c kit rushed to market. And then got to deal with all the growing pains of being the first in a new platform. His attitude afterwards is "I didn't have it easy, I was the first and we were pioneering the platform and "kids" these days have it easy."
And that's to the point isn't?
He comes off mad that he had the pains others don't because he was there first and acts as if he should get some kind of special treatment for having "done" it first.
He makes a snide comment to TJ Hunt for having a successful youtube channel and getting a S/C kit, and then comments that TJ is young so it's just "daddies" money and he didn't "earn" it. Then he seems to take some kind of personal pleasure that TJ's car had cam sensor issues and uses that as "justification" that he is right about the cars being failures waiting to happen. The way he talks comes off as the car is doomed to explode potentially minutes after you take it on to the track for the first time.
He replies to comments on his video, in regards that this platform is just "modern rice" and that only young kids with parents money buy the car. Because no one in their early 20's has the cash to buy the car and pay insurance by themselves. But when he's told not once, twice, or even three times by other commentators that they themselves are early 20's and own this car and pay'd for it themselves. He scuffs it off as they're "exceptions" to the rule.
Savageese comes off as a bitter man who spent money on an unknown at the time platform. And that he is upset he fell in all the potholes that others now know to avoid. This is why you let tuning groups, racing groups, shops, aftermarket outfitters, the big boys who will be "marketing" products. Take time to "Pioneer" the field and learn the shortcomings first. Pioneering something does not entitle you to anything. The only time pioneering something is an advantage to you, is if your going to be selling a product and it will be a revenue stream. Or you are truly doing it for fun. And if it burns you out as it did in this case to him, well you took the risk to begin with under the purpose that this would be fun. It didn't end up being fun, and now you know. Learn your lesson and move on. Don't down talk others who do enjoy the car and had more common sense to wait and allow the platform to prove itself before jumping on.
He should of waited 3 years for the aftermarket to grow and mature and the shortcomings to have been found. Then he could make a well informed decision if this platform was right for him or something he would be willing to endeavor in.
TL : DR Version: Guy in video is acting like an old man bitching that he wasted money. Should of waited for FRS/BRZ/GT86 platform to prove itself and have it's limitations learned and worked out before getting into the game.
