I love my FR-S. It would pain me deeply to sell it. For the past 5 years, I've been modifying the FR-S to be faster, more agile, and more aggressive. As anyone who modifies cars knows, the further down that path you go, the less daily driveable it becomes. My FR-S now handles like...
I recently installed an HKS Dual Resonated Front Pipe because my exhaust set up has been filled with obstacles and headaches. The short version of my issues is that my catless/unresonated Invidia front pipe sounds raw and super aggressive, but is way too raspy when paired with a catless header (see comparison video below). The...
The FR-S comes from the factory with pretty solid seats that don't REALLY need to be replaced to meet the needs of most owners. They're very supportive by most OEM standards, they're lightweight (only 2-3 lbs heavier than the Corbeau DFX mounted on Corbeau sliders), and they're reasonably comfortable on long trips. So why...
Upgrading to an aftermarket header is the most significant way to increase power on a naturally aspirated FR-S/86/BRZ for two reasons - 1) The header is the most restrictive piece of the OEM exhaust system, so swapping it to a more free-flowing unit increases power output more than swapping any other piece in the...

With roughly 30,000 miles on the odometer, the time has come to swap out the transmission and differential fluid on the MPmoto FR-S. It probably wasn't absolutely necessary to change the fluid at this point based on the amount of metal shavings on the magnetic drain plugs, and I haven't had much issue with...
A month or two ago I set out to replace my BLOX Racing Shift knob because it had turned pink... after less than a year... because it's not very good. I decided that I wanted to replace it with a shift knob that looked retro, and I refused to pay the ridiculous $150 asking...
I've been driving around with the Torque Solution 3" Billet Shifter Extension for a few days now and my initial feelings about it have definitely changed. 3" is too tall in this car. It looks somewhat clownish/boy racer/ricer which isn't at all what I'm going for. Additionally, it feels sloppy. It feels like the...
After watching some YouTube videos about classic cars, I was noticing how nice shifters used to look with long thin shift levers and simple spherical shift knobs. Since I already have a retro-looking shift knob, I decided to top it off with a more retro looking shift lever. Doing so would also help with an...
