I think my fav mod to date is the light weight crank pulley adds a nice touch to the engine bay and really helps the motor liven up and also wondering if it even improves fuel economy cruisin? I haven't installed one yet but so far people are saying its not too difficult to install and really noticeable improvements.

There's a handy Forced Induction section full of people talking about how much they like/dislike their turbos.

For me that's a toss up between the Supercharger, Wider tyres and the AP Racing brakes.

As you can see from my build I have spent a lot of money on the look of my car.

I thought I'd mention what I think are the two best value mods I have found.

1. 25mm redline performance spacers. Makes my 7.5" wheels sit flush with the guards and actually makes the car look lower than the 1 1/4 inches I have lowered it. There will be brands more easily obtained in USA but this is what I got.


2. This cheap ABS front lip on ebay. Personally I don't have it but several friends have and looks great on ANY colour. Just leave it black. It extends the pointy bits on the stock 86/FRS and I think makes the front look better than the TRD kit.


These are the best value mods I have found and for only a couple of hundred dollars you get a really good look.

If money is no object the TRD BBK is my favourite. The big red callipers with the TRD forged black wheels - Mmmmm
