This Is How to Modify a SCION FR-S Properly (Track Review) 

No rocket bunny or tilty wheels? Nice

What an amazing car.... Its so clean and all the mods are made with good taste.... Applause for the owner

I would say this guys FRS is the one of the best as far as tasteful/purposeful mods. Cheers to that guy!

Car looked epic to drive, so well planted. Just goes to show you do not need big power to have fun on track.

Smart man. Functional, and fast.

This NA tuned gt86 is awesome. Credit to the owner. Thank you for sharing with us.

I love how the high pitch voice comes on whenever a good car shows up 😂

one of the cleanest FR-S / BRZ / 86 that i've seen, respect to the owner.

I feel the need to do a full Modification video now, after seeing this ... 🤔

This video couldn't of come at a better time for myself. I'm about to swap from my sw20 to a basic zn6 that I can actually daily drive and well that setup seems so so good yet simple. Thanks for the killer review Dave.

That is a awesome time!! The frs boogies on a track for sure.

Love these track reviews, keep them coming!!

This is way too interesting 😝 What a great setup. Thanks for sharing!

Very very very similair to my own set up. I have an E85 tune and 4.3 final drive with some crawford power spacers that shoves the torque dip below 3500 rpm. Id like to get my car to you guys someday.

I LOVE this guy's setup! I've never been a fan of the wide bodied, forced induction monstrosities that dominate youtube and Instagram. This respects what the car is and the philosophy of why it was built, while improving on all its stock shortcoming and adding just enough to make any true enthusiast go "Wow!" I'm planning on getting a FRS or early GT86 soon and this is an excellent template of where I want to take mine.

Best sounding 86 I’ve heard. Great build

Really nice build 👍🏻 I would just consider some proper harnesses. If you crash with the original belt and without a airbag you gonna have a hard time.

What a car. I always fantasize about upgrading by brz in a tasteful manner as he did. This frs looks so guuuud! Performs amazing too! Have to love these platforms. Thanks speed academy for loving the FT86 platform. Makes me believe I still made the right choice lol

What a perfect set up! Nice driving and kudos to the owner!

High praise from someone who knows the chassis and knows what a proper track car should feel like. Getting that balance (no matter the performance level) is one of the most difficult things to achieve and is the best way to get the most out of your setup. It sounds like this guy is 98% of the way there. Congrats man, good job.

New sub, y’all are amazing and your videos seem to be full of info and are just a great watch.

very well done car. Another great video! Keep em coming!

Nice properly set up and well tuned FRS👌🏽 looked like it was on rails. Wasn’t even any tire squeal. Very nice.

Very impressed. Very simple but functional set up. It seemed to have no torque dip whatsoever. I really love that. It just seemed to have ripped. I was also impressed that the stock brakes are that great with just a simple pad upgrade. Very nice

This thing sounds amazing !

Beautiful build! I would've gone with a smaller wing, but for track use I can see it. Lol. Never heard of that Cleib exhaust until now. Holy crap it sounds so good! Awesome car, Jason.

great suspension mods amazing car

Mine is very similar accept I have a splitter, under body panels, diffuser, harness and mine is black. I did go with the red door stabilizer as well. Probably more bling then function but I like the idea of them. Also I did rotors and steel break lines. Love tracking it. Clean car man.

That is the definition of a clean car, nice

What a clean and nice mod 👍🏼

Absolutely love tasteful functional mods on the 86 and that thing fits the ticket. Said it best...a pure drivers car.

Liking that exhaust sound.

Very tastefully done. Great car and great driving. Love it! Would be very curious about the lap times after making the suspension adjustments

Nice. Waiting patiently for my re71r from tire rack.

Definitely want a follow up in the future. 🤙🏼

Could you do an iformative video on rebound/compresion adjusting? Like the ol' SCC days

"These cars are just so much fun! A true drivers car". That's the truth I have the Subaru BRZ and it's been the most fun car I've ever owned. Not overpowered, but the suspension, power, and chassis are all well matched, making a car that is a pleasure to drive and own, even stock.

By far nicest 86 I’ve seen

Makes me love my car even more !

what an amazing exhasut clean low rpms, raw and clean high rpms.

Good job Jason !!!🖤😇

Handles as clean as it looks! ...and that's a good thing.

Cool to see one of these not setup to slide, refreshing almost. I was wondering if this car could do anything besides drift.

Sounds great too

Nice build

Hanging out big time for an Evo!

I can’t wait to get this car one day in the future

Sometimes just keeping it simple when it comes to power mods, and brake mods can still make a good fun track car.

This dude put some MONEY into this beast

Nice!! Great car!!

Super clean! Any ECU tune?

Guys i like the Vids... keep it up

God I miss my fr-s!😢gotta get me another one again! That was awesome and it looks awesome too!👌🥰👍

Not a fan of the spoiler, but man this car is super clean! Great video guys!

I will now watch all. Your videos mentioning FRS/BRZ

Fender garnish. Its a beautiful 86, cant wait to get another one! ❤

that car looks like a blast, as does the track

Nice job on the car, thank you for not standing it out.

Great mods ! I wonder if that wing is not providing a bit too much downforce tho.

Would really like to see you guys have a track battle with the 10th gen Civic Si against others!!! Its hard to find any comparison video with the Civic Si on track (understand tough as the Type R is better in every way in terms of performance). But I feel like the Civic Si is a very competitive car and is up there along with BRZ/FRS/86

Very jealous of that CLEiB catback. Been wanting one myself for awhile. Though without a rear diffuser the single exit is going to create some drag in the back.

I want one but in golden/nacho yellow with a black roof and a smaller wing for a daily

Jason Hoang, absolutely beautiful work!! So how do find and follow you? Thanks Jim

What is the stalk on the steering wheel quick release?

review that white evo 9 in the background!

When are you guys slapping some ITBs on the FRS Dave?!?! 😂

Very similar to my current setup. The car is very capable and can turn 30min sessions all day with some well thought out mods. Everyone is too busy chasing hp when they should be dialing in a great car. I think his would be perfect if he had a function diffuser and removed the wing. It would help a little with the understeer while still creating some down force and reducing drag.

That super clean zenki in the back tho...

What is the helmet setup with the microphone you have?

Testing someones track car while wearing shorts.. you are far more crazy than I am sir!

Love it! I’m actually planning on buying one of these and daily-ing it. That is, until the GR Corolla Hatch gets to the states. Supposedly around the end of 2022 the North American market is supposed to have the same 1.6 3 cylinder turbo engine from the GR Yaris. Transmission details are murky but they do seem to point toward AWD. They also predict it will be putting out closer to 300 bhp then the 268 that the GR Yaris has. Most likely to make it more compelling being a slightly bigger car and power hungry market here In the good ol’ 🇺🇸. If the GR Corolla comes to the states by the end of next year, I will be lining up to grab one as soon as they come out. Especially if it ends up being how they predict. AWD Turbo 1.6 3 Cylinder (which sound brilliant btw, like a mini inline 6) 6 speed manual with LSD. At least one LSD, hopefully front and rear will be optional specs you can add. Bigger brakes obviously and in the form factor of the hatch, which is already a great looking car. To me. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. I really enjoy how the Corolla hatch currently looks though. Still the FRS/BRZ twins, even the first gen are great cars! I don’t mind the torque dip because I’d be adding a supercharger or turbocharger either way. Amazing handling cars for the money.

Sounds very tasteful for sure! Dont quite have the power levels id want without spending thousands to really enjoy pushing it... but I never really see one I dont like, similar to 350z's. Cool car and the owner definitely seems to be building it to his specific goals which is how it should be...not what others think he should do!

great car

Random one Dave but wheels are those on the white Evo 7 next to your FRS?

No horse power with good tires makes it fun. More fun you guys ass2000 loved the s2000 oversteer.

Is there any frs/brz that you know of with a complete engine build that is normally aspirated? I've been trying to find information on fa20 builds but don't see anyone attempting it. Maybe you can show us how it's done 😁

Nice Car and great video. I noticed you ranked this FRS (1:22.47) higher than K20 Track Civic (1:22.31) despite it being slightly slower....

Clean👌

Sweet juice!

its amazing mengenai penjelasan menyetir. aku sudah subscribed ya 🙏

I cant wait to buy a aero gt86. Just have to wait for the perfect one.

hachi roku!! Can't wait for a 2021 GR version

Dodged the cone like butter 5:08

what driving modes were used? Traction control off for 5 seconds? or vsc sport button? may I could use a ELI5 for the different modes.

Amazing car! what a TRD version should be.

I see you guys did some research into RE71r’s after I mentioned them. Still can’t wait to see you guys do a review on them and see what you guys think

Awesome car and wow that is clean, if the owner sees this, did you get it detailed right before, even the engine bay is spotless!? Makes me miss my BRZ, your car setup perfectly, and it sounds incredible!

Hey Dave, why was it cone-city on the track?

But does it have any grip?

Front splitter to match that big rear wing, is what is needed

I think the brakes only feel good because you dont need to slow down much to have a stable corner entry, but the brakes by themselves are probably bad. It would be more apparent on a tighter trackwidth.

You see, I want to get one but I don't know how they do as daily driver car. I drive often for work.

This is a proper 86 twin. I’d only change the wing for a GT style wing vs the swan neck he has on there. That just personal preference though.

Where are the side skirts from?

Im curious why no splitter with that big wing? Ive been getting comments from so many people that i should replace my sti lip with a splitter

What are the shift points? 5,6 grand?

Looking for a steering wheel set up like that but is there a way around having that wiper lever spinning around like that

question why do you list its slower time on top of the FASTER k20 track day civic?

Looked great except for the slower corners with moderate understeer. Add some roll stiffness to the rear or reduce it on the front and you are golden.
