Any significant changes from 2013 to 2014?

Just as title asks, any differences or improvements between '13 and '14 FRS?

Sorry I didn't search, at work on my phone, lol

Ok I tried searching 2013 FRS vs. 2014, and 0 matches

Knee pads, new HU and most of the TSB changes (seems to be hit and miss what car got what changes though).

That is it.

Biggest thing was probably the ECU re-calibration that seems to have cured some on-off throttle detonation issues and improved reliability. That actually took place in later 2013 but all 2014s have it.

These would be the TSB changes. All of the new production after each TSB was issued should have had the changed parts, flash, etc. From reading here though it seems that some did not get them at the factory for some bizarre reason. My 14 for example still had the old window trim even though it was past the VIN where the TSB cut off.

Thanks to all that responded! Trying to research for my sons first car

Is there a huge TSB list somewhere? I have never taken a car into the dealership for TSB work. Can I just take my '13 in and say "Do all the TSB updates"?

Although the 13s and 14s are closing in value you cab still usually find 13s for a bit cheaper. You do have to weigh the reduced cost against the benefits of having a 14 with many of the problems that some of the early 13s had already worked out.
When searching for stuff on here just ignore the site search function (it just plain sucks) and use Google but include ft86club in the search. It will work far better for you.

Depends on your dealer. Some will still insist that you demonstrate the issue before they will do the TSB. Mine just went through the list and made sure everything was covered (I have a good dealer).
