Hi Synack! How's your turbo? I'm interested to put one in my future BRZ/FR-S. Let me know your experience

I'll let you know in a week. We just went the ProEFI standalone ECU route so it will be the first 86 with it. Gotta love the tuning freedom and safety features and the fact that I'm not being strangled by John at Visconti EcuTek's terrible service.

FR-S in my opinion. BRZ has too much superfluous crap stuffed into it. Then again I'm the kind of person who actively tries to avoid having cushy amenities like nav, push start, seat heaters, leather, etc.

Personally I'd like the push start a whole lot. Really enjoyed it in my 370. The other stuff, meh.

If money isn't a thing then, go w custom color!

To be honest, I wouldn't get a red BRZ but I would get a red FR-S... not really sure why. Conversely, I wouldn't get a blue FR-S but I would get a blue BRZ. Probably something to do with all the Subaru sport sedans being mostly blue and all the Toyota sports cars being mostly red. On the other hand, Lighning Red should be the rarest color BRZ, according to initial order reports...

VERSUS

Case in point, see sig pic:

BRZ is only good in WRBlue and white.

FR-S is good in white amongst those 2 colors.

At least your red seat back color will match if you pick the red FRS.

CrazyWookiee · 09-06-2012, 02:42 PM

Red FR-S looks hotter.

Nice photo choices. Worst pic of red BRZ possible and a marketing type of photo of the frs. Just saying. Ive seen some smoking red BRZ pics.

The color / paint code is the same regardless of subaru/toyota.

I wasn't doing it on purpose. I was trying to find a better pic of the BRZ but I wanted them to be at similar angles and that was the closest I could get.

Tanuki · 09-06-2012, 05:28 PM

Alright I vote White FRS.

raul · 09-06-2012, 06:37 PM

FR-S.

Red = Aggressive color
FR-S = The more aggressively styled of the twins.
