I'm gonna have to roll with you on this one... I'll probably wait & see what comes out afterwards too.

-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.

You gonna make those in your backyard?

Not that I'm actually going to get one, but it would be wheels, drop and flush (not, not "hella" flush) for me. Most important 3 mods for any car.

Tires all the way!

TRDChamp · 06-11-2011, 03:51 AM

Will probably leave it stock for a bit until we get a good selection of aftermarket parts.

Omerta · 06-11-2011, 01:35 PM

Hard to say right now....HOWEVER, I would go straight for new tires and wheels.
Perhaps a TBE + downpipe and CAI or short ram and aftermarket fogs and I'll make em my DRLs.

Obviously I'll have to wait and see the complete specs of the car upon it's release.

Laika · 06-11-2011, 02:29 PM

In this order

-Tint (and maybe doing the tails too)
-Black badges/removing stupid ones like the dealer stickers
-Short shifter/new shift knob
-Winter tires (seeing as the cars 'supposedly' coming out in november of 2012)
-Summer wheels/tires (some light 17's probably)
-Tein coilovers
-EDFC integrated into my console so it looks stock
-Sway bars once there are some good ones out

TBE as in turbo back exhaust on a NA engine?

I think there is nothing to worry about, the aftermarket parts for the FT-86 will come very quickly due to high demand, specially in Japan and USA.
