FT86club is okay. It is a young group. The way they organize their forums/threads is kind of dumb.
The BRZ is a small car but I am able to fit a lot of things in my car. PA system mics stands 2 guitars and a bunch of random things with the back seats down. It is a little tight but it works lol. I am a master at tetris lol.

Ft86club format sucks IMHO lol. but hopfully it changes

Has anyone seen this nameless uel header? Claims that with tuning and cutback it eliminates tq dip. They posted a thing claiming (I believe around 4,000rpm's roughly) you get your max gain and claimed +42 or +48 Wtq makes me curious thats for sure.




Also apparently this 135 dollar USDM NOT JDM TRD Quick Shifter is supposedly amazing according to everyone.

Not possible. That must have been an error.

Must have meant 4.2 to 4.8 wtq.

there are some customer cars and other setups I've seen that seem to be getting pretty good torque gains in that area. Stock that are downright anemic in that area combined with new injection system and subaru being horrible at tuning.

Yeah I take that back then.

Never seen a gain like that before on a small displacement, lower hp, n/a engine before.

How the heck did Subaru/Toyota let that slip through? They're selling a sports car and they leave that much performance out of it?

That's crazy.

I don't get how a 3inch exhaust is suppose to be the best gains on a 2liter na. Wonder if they got dyno charts for 2.5

To get such great results, Nameless has said that it required a lot of tuning time to figure out how to get the best out of their header.

Does not compute... Are these cars really slow or what? All the RWD cars I've owned/driven have been pretty easy to wrap around a tree compared to my Scooby.

WRX = more powah
BRZ = less powah

To me... more power means more ways to wrap my car around a tree.

Random question, but can you get that signature boxer rumble out of these? I have never heard any good sounding FRSBRZGT86's in person.

Are both of these cars cheaper now? Last time I checked, dealerships were asking close to 30k, which is a brand new WRX.
