Building Your Own Subaru BRZ STI

Posted by

When talking about performance, one question that is constantly brought up is the following: do the numbers actually mean anything in real life? Sure, having bragging rights is something they bring, but when discussing what makes a driver's car, an enjoyable car, it's often got nothing to do with figures. It's largely how the driving makes you feel. One car that has brought this up in particular, is the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86/Scion FRS.

As much as the car has taken praise from top presenters like Chris Harris and Jeremy Clarkson, it has also taken lots of criticism, mainly on its lack of power and straight line performance. And while most of us can agree on the fact that that isn't an issue, there are certain times when you really do wish your Subaru BR-Z or Scion FR-S had a bit more poke.

While it's still unconfirmed whether an STI version of the car is happening as there have been rumors stating both, extracting a bit more performance from your BRZ/FRS/GT86 is relatively simple with the right tuning and modding. Creating your very own BRZ STI alternative can be easy with the right mods.

While supercharging or turbocharging are a good way of achieving a big power number in your tuned Subaru BRZ, they're not what you'd call cheap or easy mods and overwhelm the car's excellent chassis. If you're in the hunt for BRZ parts, and want to increase its performance without spending a lot or modifying it to the extreme, Furious Customs has a solution. We offer a Performance Package and a Suspension Package.

The Performance Package includes a Takeda Air Intake and a Perrin Cat-Back Exhaust. It's incredible bang per buck, and has significant power increase over stock, while maintaining daily driveability and reliability. The one we offer can be found here.

The Suspension Package for your Subaru or Scion will just turn a mean car, even meaner. The last thing anyone criticized the car for was the handling, however, our relatively cheap suspension kit tightens the car up even more, without sacrificing street driveability and comfort. This great deal from Furious Customs can be viewed here.
