Thinking of just going for a 15' Base model and some basic mods to start. Also any good shops in the area of clarksville/hopkinsville plan on doing the mods myself but will need a tuner to dial things in

Hi welcome~

As far as I know, the closest tuner is Dynosty in Louisville, KY.
If you don't plan to go with FI route, I would suggest to get Open Flash Tablet by Vishnu tuning.

Also, get the header first as starting bolt on mod if you are going NA. You would not feel any
significant power gain from CBE, test pipe and over pipe, but you can feel the gain of header.

For FI set up, there are many options to choose but AVOID "FA20club".
As you can find there are many threads here in this forum saying they are total scammer now.
They used to be good at the beginning but NOT anymore.

Thanks for the tips I looked at Dynosty seems like they know what they are doing. Should be back in the states soon prob going to go to Beaman Scion they have good reviews on here. Just need to find a good deal but will get a 15' if I can't find any. Thanks again for the advice on mods still up in the air about what I want to do with the car

If Knoxville happens to be a distance you would travel to pick up a BRZ, they had 5 '14 BRZ's last week for sale. There is a great guy there named John who just moved in from Nash. Great guy to work with.

i know one of the sales guys here in clarksville. i can help you out with the parts, ordering and installing. if you dont wanna go to dynosty you can also look into delicious tuning for etunes or james and get tuned through ecutek.

What about Gage Performance(Smyrna) and Deftmotion(Murfreesboro) ?

Has anybody checked them out? I plan on going the FI route within a year or 2 after the car has been paid off.

I been looking at Dynosty, I was told by another member on this forum that I should check out HRI (HachiRoku Industry or something) located in Florida. I'm asking about Gage and Deftmotion because Deftmotion has a lot of BRZ and FRS parts and I heard that there is someone that's been tuning cars for about 10 years. I was hoping maybe someone in the FT86 family has given them a shot and can tell us how they are.

[nunonuna]

I dont think they are familiar with this car. Even reputable tuners had issues when they didnt have enough experience on tuning our cars despite all their years of tuning background. I would rather look for tuner later when you are ready to go FI since you are not gonna get FI any soon. Who knows they may have some experience on twins year+ later. Also Carma-Performance started offer AMR dfc ecu tune(which is Ecutek I believe) few weeks ago but I doubt carma is familiar with twins yet either, but Erin @ Carma seems nice guy to work with. I may visit him soon for Dyno run. When I get to have chance to talk to him about details of what he is offering, I will let you know.

Damn that's really what I wanted to hear, hopefully in a year or so there will be good tuners here in Tennessee. But if I hear bad things about them I will not hesitate to drive all the way to KY to Dynosty or HRI to get a damn good tune. But yeah since it'll be a while hopefully newer and better kits come that I get to enjoy lol

Hey! What's goin on guys, so the Winter season is coming up and I looked up the weather and it looks like its going to rain and freeze this coming Sunday and it's going to snow on Monday.

What tires are you guys planning on buying for your cars?

For the best result, get performance winter tire. All-season is not gonna do any better than winter tire, but if you are looking for all season solution, I recommend General Gmax as-03. This tire is UHP all season, but designed more towards to winter performance. I use this on mine for colder weather. It actually provides better grip under cold temperature. When we had severe icy condition road in last winter, this tire was able to let me drive in that condition. Of course, the speed of 10-15mph.

Is there a dynojet Dyno shop in your area? I want to try them out with my header. Do they do it on Saturdays? I went to carma yesterday to redyno with new header, but the out put was 4whp less than last time without header. I didn't understand because many other people's Dyno shows gains through out the power band with same mods.

Only difference other than header on my car is I put wheels and tires of all season for winter. Last time I got summer tire tho. Does grip of tire effects Dyno reading?

I really wanted to try dynojet at the beginning anyway so would you please let me know about dynojet shop?
