It was requested by a couple people a long time ago, so we just made the tabs to switch between All, FRS, and BRZ. I personally don't think it's necessary, but if some people want it and they use it, then who are we to deny them of this privilege!

That being said I think the Blue BRZ banner looks way better than the Red FRS one...

Don't lie, you're just mad that there isn't a Supra tab.


Speaking of, how's the Mini? And the Supra? And the other Supra?

The twins do though...
Some twins have work done, Like some human twins. (boob jobs and the like) They will be different from the other twin because of this. But, ultimately a stock BRZ and stock FR-S are well matched, and are 95+% the same parts. One will not "Brutally beat" the other. Additionally, almost all parts are interchangeable.



Edit: Except making the wife happy with dual climate. The 10 series has it though...
Bold part (or China/india rofl with their birthrates who knows how it goes down over there).


I agree with your argument just found it hilarious that you used such a bad example to illustrate your point but as other have stated, even if they are mostly the same car; news, revisions, updates, general company information, dealership reviews, tsb etc. may not be exactly the same on both so I think that while a bit weird at times, having two separate sections prevents a lot of head to heads and also confusion when important information becomes available for only one of those cars (i.e. some small part used by Subaru but not Toyota may be recalled and at that point Sub would issue a TSB/recall but not Toyota, having both sections in one could lead to someone owning a Toyota being confused and conviced something is wrong with his car when in actuality it only applies to Subaru or vice versa)

Speaking of, how's the Mini? And the Supra? And the other Supra?
Mini is sitting in the corner of the garage because I'm a terrible human being. I pulled the intake manifold off last week to get it welded up rather than keep the ghetto-rig couplers on there, but my welder has been busy. I've also been busy because I'm rebuilding the FRS into a track beast so it's had most of my attention.

The Red Supra is mostly done, just been driving it around and taking it to shows and stuff. It's fast as all hell. Made 620whp at 23psi on SP's Mustang Dyno. That's low boost btw. Need a new wastegate to really stretch it's legs. Should be able to get 800-850 out of this 6765.

The Green Supra is currently being DD'd by my brother in Texas because his Jetta died. Car is running great, just did a trans fluid change and the 220k miles transmission still shifts like butta'.

Word. I read what Ichi wrote. I get that, and from a recall perspective I totally get that too...


I am on here to find info, talk about wheel and tire fitment, and for the occasional respectful verbal joust. Thanks!

Let's keep in mind that on this forum there are 78 sub sections. Of those subs there are two dedicated to each car (a general and a pics for each). All the others are completely brand neutral. Hardly a massive division of the two really when you look at the big picture.

While the 1st gen may be pointless.. the second gen may be completely different cars.

And because Toyota > Subaru. And I owned the Subaru version. Only because the FR-S sucked by comparison.

There, did I make everyone angry now?
