In his defense, this car was once a Scion product, a branch of Toyota that focused on young people that wanted to modify their cars and not really worry about driving it.

No defense necessary. Most of us can benefit from some driver modification.

Bionic eyes would be great, and a response time of absolute 0 from eyes to brain to hands

First mods should be turbo boosted LS7 drop with nitrous. Pronto.

Jokes aside, I vouch for what everyone else has said - drive the car for a while (3-6 months if not more, took me 9 months to figure out my game plan) and find what you would like changed.

Probably the two easiest things to change the driving dynamics of the car without getting a tune or breaking the bank would have to be a short shifter and wider wheels. As others have said,full exhaust is too much money for too little gains.

I'm still deciding if I'm going to go with a short shifter,but putting on 235s has made this car 1000x more fun to drive for me. I don't care about drifting on those 210s,I'd rather be planted to the road around sharp corners,so 17x8 wheels on 235 tires is exactly what I was looking for.

Any pics of your wheels on the car? I was hoping to run this exact sizing, just not too sure about what my offset is going to be yet

Does this give the FRS similar driving characteristics as a WRX or mk4 GTI?
