Excellent video! Thank you for sharing Just wondered if you have any issues with the engine running 330hp - I'm assuming it's not a built motor? Also, you have a shed load of lovely looking cars in your household! Niiiice!

To me, it seems like you were talking so fast, I didn't quite pick up on the type of headers, you were talking about. What kind of headers did you put on your vehicle? Reason I'm asking, I own a 2020 86 Hakone Edition and would like to replace the stock headers it came with.
About time you nake anither video on your frs.. jesus its been such a long time, and now you are boosted! You need to make a video of everything you have on the car, and i know for a fact you didnt cheap out on anything so i bet the total is up there lol

Do not get an automatic. For one, on the FRS/BRZ platform, the transmissions are not created equal. It's the opposite of the growing trend of Automatics being faster than traditional Manuals. With FRS/BRZ/86, the Auto transmission has longer gear ratios for better fuel economy. The Manual has shorter gear ratios for better performance. You cannot change or mod this. This means the stock automatic version has a full second slower 0-60mph time compared to the stock manual car ...now idk about you but to me that is a huge difference for a performance car. On a platform that is already considered "slow", do you really wanna add another full second to your 0-60 time by getting the slower transmission option? Do you really wanna rob yourself of the raw driving experience of this car? Proper traditional shifting is an integral part of "feeling" the car. If you choose the automatic you may have second thoughts of how much fun a manual would be, or if you'd enjoy it more, but if you choose the manual you will likely never think such vice-versa thoughts.
I have an automatic 2013 FRS. I'm in traffic a lot, so a manual would kind of suck. The car is still a ton of fun, and I'm averaging about 30mpg. But honestly, get whatever feels right for you
ENCINAS g based on the little research I did, upgraded pulleys are not worth the price. I highly recommend wrapping your exhaust manifold and even front pipe and over pipe. Even better would be to ceramic coat and then wrap it. Heat is the enemy.
@@OrenHolzman thank you for the reply. I did buy some wrap, i did not think about wrapping anything except the exhaust manifold. Will take the information, and look into it. I was also looking into the intake manifold and the spacer blocks for it. Have you done any research on those parts. I think the spacers are made by crawford.
ENCINAS g haven’t done any research so I can’t speak on the performance benefits or bang for your buck. However at one of my recent track days a guy has the Crawford spacers and somehow they caused a short in the Direct Injector module and prevented his car from starting for a day until they somehow fixed it. I don’t know. That sketched me out.
@@OrenHolzman ohhh, that would be sketchy. Did they share why that happened?. Im building my car, in phases. I saw your vid, about making unnecessary purchases.

I did however want to look at the intake manifold spacers but havent found much relative information.
Hey Christian I love your FR-S I watch your videos all the time I just got my dream car myfrs I was wondering if you can donate me some parts someone already donated me rims and tires all I want is a body kit can you help me out please

Just now realizing I said “a full catback exhaust” when I meant to say a full 3 inch catless exhaust...
Stop flexing
What's that you said about needing a special trunk to hold the weight of the wing?
xan_diego86 it’s recommended that you get a real carbon fiber trunk if you get a wing that creates significant downforce
Equal length headers give you more top end power,UEL headers give you low end power meaning more power on take off.
You forgot to mention stickers!! Everyone knows you get about 2.5 hp per sticker!
Bruh those are low numbers, we all know that each fake vent gets you 10hp.
Loud obnoxious exhaust gives you 500
bigger the wheels, bigger the horsepower gain
Can’t forget to tell them every inch closer to the ground is 4.5hp
I heard red ones give 5 and if it's you iv handle you get like 12

"You can get equal length headers if you like bad sounding cars. " Haha. That's great.
It's funny that you say that because the 86 racing cars are using EL headers :)
@@mikeyb9942 EL is better for high rpm, uel better for lower rpm, that's why people use uel for street
But what if I wanna turbo it :(

2:55 I thought that the torque dip elimination would have been the best reason.
