The "This is how it shouldve come from the factory." Mods - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

There's one true thing that is just plain sloppy engineering on Toyota's/Subaru's part which should not have ever been an issue; proper steering rack bushings and mounting fastener to sleeve tolerances - the factory ones SUCK at their job, allow the steering rack to not even be concentrically located on its two mounting points and also allow it to move around when cornering. I corrected the issue for $40 with properly engineered pieces. Absolutely amazing you get the steering feel you do from the car with its crap factory setup... but the weird steering hesitation mid-turn is a telltale sign.

Courtesy lights...or at least the wiring for it. PITA for my install...< $30 in parts.

Brz limited has heated mirrors. Should have forked out that extra $$.

I'll be the Lone Ranger here...

I love my FRS just the way it came from the factory.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Air vent in the roof like JDM WRX STI in the 90's

So true.

The only thing though that i would say would of been nice but wasn't an option for normal FRS models is heated seats.

My only change would be that it came as a GT86 everywhere, not because of JDM nonsense, but because scion is just terrible in every way

I'll start, MTEC shift springs and a 4.56 final drive.

Did the final drive make a good enough difference for you in acceleration? This is the one mod I want so bad as I only care about increasing torque "feel"
