Any mods planned? - Page 8 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

In this order: Intake, Straight Pipes, Cams (if they come out quickly), SS brake lines and larger rotors, sways and coilovers, TWM shifter (already trying to get them to make a full replacement), tune to bring it all out.

Not bad at all. MR2s have cockpits very similar to Miatas. I'm hopping in a Wankel 13B swapped Miata in about an hour and cruising the day away.

Here's my ride and shifter setup.

TWM Stage II shifter. TWM Brass Bushings and cable adapter. I thought about upgrading knobs, but I like the leather knob and I can just switch to their Type-R knob that's in my other car if I really cared.

Wheels aren't even on my list because I go for power instead of looks. I'm not a fan of donks, ty.

Wheels aren't only for the looks. If that was the case, most race cars don't have after market LIGHTWEIGHT & WIDER wheels.

But they are so EXPENSIVE! If I can scrounge up $3500 soon after I get my FT, I will get some TE37's.

There are some wheels that are lighter than stock wheels that isn't Volks... but I gotta say, Volks do make sweet wheels.

Voted for wheels.

I'm thinking Advans, more specifically TCIIs. I haven't decided what color though, but that completely depends what color I even get the FT86 in.

Levi · 06-02-2011, 03:36 PM

Here the list:

-Volk lightweight racing rims
-Nitto tires
-racing coilovers front and rear
-Brembo GTR brakes
-CF cold air intake
-free flow catless exhaust system (Titanium)

-if OEM quality CF roof, hood, bootlid and maybe doors and inner pannels

Probably more after knowing all details when the car is released.

Maybe displacement increase but for sure no turbo.

I'm going to wait until the weak points are determined, then wait until there is enough aftermarket support to select the best engineered solution. If no suitable solution exists, I'll get off my duff and make it happen with the resources I have.

chulooz · 06-02-2011, 04:59 PM

Wheels, tints, and a nice Ti exhaust should happen pretty quickly for me.
