-APPEARANCE (maybe rocketbunny not in near future either)

If your end goal is that much power then save for the kit instead of going OFT. Seriously, do you need that much power?

The OFT turns a fun slow car into a fun not slow car. Turbo turns it into a not fun fast car imo. flaming begin.

He said he's had the car since April and been to the track twice. He's new to the forum, not the car.

OP, I have had the car a little over a month now these are my mods so far, in the order they were installed. The only one I kind of regret is the armrest, only because the OEM armrest is better, but it also costs twice as much. I'd also have gotten maximum brightness for the LED's, I mostly went with stage 2. Let me know if you want pics or links for any of these.

(from previous owner)
-Window tint
-Clear bra

(My additions)
-Black interior trim
-Armrest
-K&N Drop in
-OFT
-Sound tube delete
-Wheel spacers
-Weather tech floor mats
-OEM mudgaurds
-Debadge
-Black license Plate cover
-Red interior LED's (replaced existing bulbs only)

(Future plans)
-Clear or Smoked side markers
-OF Header
-More black trim (door handles, knee pads, maybe door levers)
-Tires
-5 Axis spoiler
-Speakers

After that, I'm done... I swear... probably.

If you don't mind can I see some pics of the car?

And to everyone who is wondering I will be putting in a order for BC coilovers on the 11th when my check comes in

I'm on my work computer and don't have all my pics, so I'm just going to give you links to where I've posted them. The links should take you directly to the right page, but I noted page number just in case.

-Wheel spacers: http://perrinperformance.com/files/p...brz_01x600.jpg (not my car, and I think I got 25mm in the back, 20mm in front, these are both 25mm each. They are just round metal pieces that push the wheels out, without them, they are sunk into the wheel wells pretty far and it doesn't look that good)

-LED's: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=81732 (bottom of page, sorry for crappy pics)

-Armrest and trim: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...t=66202&page=4 (near bottom of page 4, keep in mind I do not recommend this arm rest as it isn't really attached and you have to constantly swap with cup holders to use them, OEM probably better but this one was $70 vs over $100, and it looks great, just not fully functional)

-Spacers, Mudgaurds, license plate cover, debadge http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...10312&page=484 (bottom of page 484)

Also, I left shark fin antenna off my list for future mods. Probably gonna get one of those because I think stock antenna looks a little teletubbyish.

But as of right now I just put in my order for BC BR extreme low coilovers with 10k spring rate all around should be here within 1-2 weeks! And if my income will allow, I will be putting in a order for the OFT! And proably as my older brother who owns a tire shop to hook me up with some new tires

Next couple weeks will be interesting

If you order OFT new, make sure it's from the Openflash website. I ordered mine from Amazon for cheaper shipping, with Openflash as the third party seller through Amazon. They won't count it towards OFT dollars so I can't get the discount prices.

Or check the member classifieds, I've seen a couple sell in the last couple days for 450 or less. I just bought a new Openflash Header shipped for 575.

Others are right though, you'll spend several thousand on bolt on's and be lucky to get 200 whp out of it, meanwhile there's a used supercharger for sale for $2,800.

I want to get OFT now but I know in the future Im going F/I but not anytime soon, and I genuinely want to buy new stuff for my car especially if its engine components.

I got lucky, bought off a member in classifieds.

[bababooey]

Ahha, good looking out! I'm also not qualified for discount. Header and over pipe are next once I get back to upgrading my car.

Your first mod should be good tires, debadging the rear and meeting fellow 86 enthusiast in your area.
