Key takeaway

FA20 and FA24 builds should stay use-case-first because NA twins, turbo WRX setups, oil temperatures, tires, and brakes need different priorities.

TL;DR

  • Separate NA twin goals from turbo WRX goals before copying a parts list.
  • Tires, alignment, brakes, oil temperature, and driver consistency often matter more than peak power.
  • Track use needs fluid, cooling, and validation discipline.
