Freed Engineering FR-S

Hey everyone,

It's been a long wait, bit we finally got our White MT FR-S in last night. I would have posted some pics then but sadly, it was pouring rain - (made for a fun ride home though)

I had a VERY pleasant experience dealing with DARCARS Toyota in Silver Spring MD. My salesman Daniel Tulloch was a great guy, was very honest, friendly, and kept me updated through the very long wait. No negotiating, no haggling, great price, couldn't have asked for more.


We can't wait to start tearing into it this week. I'll keep this thread updated with progress!

We are working on some bolt on power adders. Exhaust, intake, intake manifold, various suspension components.

Keep an eye out!

Excited to see what you can do...

Have you been following the threads from the BRZ tuners about how stingy the ecu is when it comes to breathing mods? Any plans to address ecu compensation?

Yes we have been following the news on the forum.

Addressing the ECU is one of our main concerns. To get good power out of any mods, we are going to need some help in that department, especially for the more advanced upgrades (intake + exhaust manifolds)

Wow! That single actually looks pretty mean. I know people will complain about the cut out on the other side, but im sure there will be a solution for that. Any info on this exhaust that you can tease us more on?
