We all dream, there's nothing wrong with that. However, coming from the person who owns the CX Racing LSx Turbo FR-S, you wouldn't want it 20 years from now

@go_a_way1 You do realize the CX LSx Turbo kit is the ONLY one on the market for our cars, right? Its a pretty decent kit too. First hand experience here, not just reading on the internet.


Also, as far as the CX LSx Turbo Kit mating to the factory catback, this is true. CX did this so you could bolt up any FR-S catback you choose, instead of being forced to go with a custom setup.

I understand that. Disregarding specific parts, however, the cars of the future compared to the BRZ today would be like comparing the Tesla Model S to the original Corvette Stingray, assuming that technology continues to advance more and more rapidly. Despite the fact that there are far more advanced cars like the S, the P1, and the Regera, cars like the Stingray, the AE86, and the S30 continue to roam the streets around the world, sometimes with power-to-weight ratios and other records destroying the advanced machines.

Plus, these cars are also classic. I'm not saying that the BRZ will eventually become one, but in my opinion, the car is a great (if not an almost perfect) car for any project and any purpose.

@jdmblood I like the lines of the BRZ better, especially with the RB fenders on.
@Amir Ghadiri thanks anyway for the tip. The parts listed are based on current ones of course. They'll be changed to future counterparts, should I get to swapping.

Fuck high hp evos. Unless you like basically undriveable and breaking tcases and transmissions and emptying the catch can every 5 passes. 1000 whp is a lot of power to just jump to. Id say learn to drive a 500 hp car balls out on the dragstrip then move up. I dont know what experience you have in high hp cars but anything over 500 hp is a handful in this car

You know which oil pan you want, but no opinion on suspension? Cam specs?

For the 30 grand that their LSx engines cost Id hope they give you a blowjob and a beer too haha.

NRE is a little overkill for a DD frs come on now

It's the internet, behind the wall of anonymity, you can be a talking potato if you want. Also, soon we will all connect our brains to the internet and sit in a bucket of goo and let the computer overlords use us for our energy.
