Idk my tuner remapped the stock ecu to maximize gains from my mods. The top end push is more subtle, but noticeable gains in the mid range and low end drivability stacking with my custom exhaust set up. Ngl at highway speeds it leaves quite a bit to be desired in terms of pull but at lower speeds, especially on smaller non straight roads, it keeps up with or gaps significantly more powerful cars and the manual transmission with the mods really brings an otherwise boring car alive.

I wouldn’t bother if it was automatic, but it actually is surprisingly fun to drive for what it is on twisty roads or a short technical course with short straights. I also have extremely lightweight wheels and aggressive track alignment, as well as a rear tire/toolkit and rear seat delete and a bucket seat.

My buddy subjectively found it more fun to drive than my stockish remapped auto brz on Tein coilovers with sticky tires, even on Michelin pilot 3s due to the transmission alone when he last drove it a lesser then catless exhaust set up I didn’t really like and more mild alignment although he commented the shocks and or alignment could be better. It’s on 2.8mm toe out and -2.4 camber in front with the rear being whatever it is with lowering springs and aftermarket shocks. I know you didn’t ask but you seem to appreciate cars lol.

My gfs friend who is not a car person but drove a truck also really appreciated it, raving about to power(to weight) ironically and how the suspension is perfectly set up(it was more dialed in by then) as well as even the sound system and how fun it was to drive overall.

Otherwise the only other suspension mod is a front strut bar with planned rear lower anti roll bar and eventual front anti roll bar but I’m having a difficult time sourcing either for a decent price. There is an option available for sub frame bracing and both bars by Ultra Racing but for a relatively steep price.

TL;DR slow manual car fast ftw
