You are still going to have to find an old one for a 2jz, but the new one should be plenty to handle

Speaking of the boost loving est engine ever... Who else is impressed with the ridiculous gains in power from the fa20 on so little boost? Love the high compression ratio

Nah, I'm making payments. Finish one, start the other

That Perrin SC kit is calling my name, with their mountain of low-end torque.

i agree with this but i also feel that at some point,they will not be as popular
and will be an exclusive entity,that will fade and be discontinued.in my view,
if one can keep the car as close as possible to stock over the years,then this will pay dividends as the car ages graciously,and becomes more exclusive as a first year model. i am envisioning this,and i hope it becomes fact,as it definitely IS within the realm of possibility!

Plus at the end of the article, the articles states Scion`s combined sales in 2012 was barely half of the RAV4 sales alone. The FRS has already joined the list of historic milestone cars ever to be engineered and produced, isn't that enough to keep your car? Who cares what the ricer next to you does to his car, he has to live with that, not you.
this is "dead nuts " accurate!

Lol I was talking to one of my students about F&F jokingly said what if the BRZ was in it.. That's cool, we can't hope for it to not, but hope they make it look good. I agree that the more popular the car is the more parts there will be for it, like audio yum! AND at least we all got the OG versions!!
