'13 FRS Differential
Rumors abound about component swap ability between 2015 WRX and the FRS'. In particular, I'm wondering about the differential. Anybody with any information on that?

I doubt it, the FR-S differential is a standard Toyota unit (same as IS250/300 I believe). The WRX rear diff is open anyways, that would be a bit of a downgrade?

You will go from a Torsen diff in the FRS, to an open diff in the WRX. Good luck with that. -alex |

Why not swap in a 2.2L Indycar engine while you're at it. Neighborhood of 750 H.P. You can mount the boost knob in the console recess (unless you have heated seats). Custom.

Would no longer be a GT86. Just be GT86 like.

Anyone ever tried deleting one of the pistons in these engines? Could save weight and maybe it'd be cool to have a custom 3 cylinder boxer engine with 3/4 the horsepower. Also could make the dud piston work as an air pump to help keep the engine cool.
