What would be the first mod you would do to your FT-86?

Wheels/Tires
Sport spings
Coil Overs
Air Intake
Cat Back

Tires

NESW20 · 11-30-2010, 06:36 PM

depends on what i don't like about the car the most: either a short shifter if it needs it, or brake pads if i don't like how the factory ones stop. either way, it'll be something small and simple first.

I agree with the idea of seeing what it might need but possibly a knob/short throw, maybe tints or anti sway bars?

RRnold · 11-30-2010, 07:34 PM

Since this is a new production I'm assuming aftermarket parts might take a while right?! For me, it would be suspension

70NYD · 11-30-2010, 07:53 PM

Tires most likely, unless the stock wheels are heavy, in which case wheels/tires..

ryude · 11-30-2010, 08:02 PM

Wheels/Tires definitely.

Girl who will be sitting in passenger side will surely be changed to HOT one. LMAO!!! just trollin'

but serious side, prob nothing til see the other ppl's feed back on the after market parts.

Suspension, although I voted other as I would like a turbo first or very close to the same time as suspension upgrade. Plan on waiting a year or more before buying the FT.

This is what I want:

RRnold · 11-30-2010, 09:50 PM

Wheels would probaby later on my list. From what I've seen it's usually takes several attempts before someone gets the perfect offset that not only looks good but doesn't require too much fender mods. The last thing you want to deal with is some chewed up fenders!

I totally know what you mean! I'm feeling the pain right now w my Impreza I bought bit aggressive off-set

fargasj · 11-30-2010, 10:21 PM

I guess that wheel fitment I want is going to be close to 19x10 5x114.3 +35mm Rear & 19x9 5x114.3 +38mm Front

That sux! The thing is the front can be fixed but the rear is going to cost some $.
