Garage
I got the poverty level '13 FRS.
It has a bezel around the rear view and no blinkety-tech.
That year some had a rear view with glass to the edges and a garage remote adapter in the higher level trim.
My "audio system" is also the pov-spec and I never use it unless parked somewhere waiting for someone else.
It does a job, but it will never be Carnegie Hall levels of eargasm.

I like the seats too.

Glad you like your motorized roller skate.

If you do end up wanting more street stopping power down the road, a simple pad change to something life the ferodo ds2500 would be an easily and nice upgrade from stock pads imo. And now that ecutek has released tuning software, within a few months we should see solutions for headers and tune (let alone FI) which should be providing a nice bump in torque at a reasonably low cost, so the day you feel you want a bit more, there should be plenty of options to get it to be the perfect car for you… but truly this car car be enjoyed for years in stock form, as you explore and discover it more… enjoy!

Where did you snag the OEM Audio+ speakers if you don't mind my asking? Have started buying parts for the car already, and have it scheduled for full PPF and tint next week!

Did you turn off the fake noise?
Appreciate the tips! I have not turned off the active sound control yet, but will be doing so very soon!

I had the OEM Audio+ speakers, GR premium ducktail, and coilovers all here before I even picked up the car! Had it ceramic coated and the front bumper and lights and rear rockers done with PPF within a few days of picking it up.

Still need to drive it more. I've had it two months and it only has 430 miles on it.
Yea, my GR86 just rolled over 800 miles. Still absolutely LOVING this car and have already washed it twice even though it's garaged lol.

Motorized roller skate is a fantastic analogy, appreciate that one lol

Direct from them. https://oemaudioplus.com/
I too had a pile of parts waiting for the car to arrive... I've had the car a couple weeks now and am still working on it.

Appreciate the link! I'm reading that the Premium has 8 speakers and an amplifier, but looking at the OEM Audio+, it only comes with a 6-speaker upgrade? Does anyone know where the extra 2 speakers are, what size they are, and what the specs on the OEM amp are?

There are two 6.5" mid-bass drivers (one in each door), a Mid and tweeter combo on each corner of the dash, and two tiny speakers in the rear trim next to the rear passenger seats, for a total of 8 individual speakers..

The current OEM plus replaces the Door and Dash speakers (6 individual speakers), but will offer a subwoofer and amp with custom DSP tuning soon (like the first gen)..

I don't know if OEM plus will have replacements for the rear seat speakers or not, but shoot them an email, they are pretty responsive..

Not installed yet, but I've already purchased the front 6 speakers from OEM Audio+. Just waiting for the sub/amp setup to be released so I can do them all at once.
Grabby pedal at the top normally is a characteristic of the Brake Booster, that is called jump-in. This can be adjusted with a little bit of work.

European vehicles tend to have a higher jump-in that gives a sensation of a quick brakes. Lower junp-in is good for better modulation of the braking.

Yeah, like was said, the other two are little 4s I think for the back seat. My back seat will never be used and you want the soundstage up front so I don't care about them.

Not sure about specs on the OEM amp, again don't really care since I plan on replacing it when OEM Audio+ releases their amp/sub package to go with the rest of the upgrade.
