Any mods planned? - Page 7 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Zaku · 03-18-2011, 08:48 AM

First Thing I changed on my last car was a Flywheel and Clutch, but I'm expecting FT86 to come with a light Fly and a good Clutch ... Hoping it's an Exedy. I like Light flywheels because of how fast it make engines rev, but for my first mod here...hmm... if it's not Intake it's definitely wheels. I have this order of things I get, and I kept to the order for my last 3 cars.

leave her as she is for a bit then most likely tyres and wheels (summer mode) keep stock as winter mode

Come to think of it, I can't recall a factory shift knob a actually like. Also depending on the throw, a short shifter

98 red stitched SW20 knob. if you don't like that, i think you're not allowed to own an MR2?

lol, j/k. but that's the knob i have on my MR2 and i can't think of anything i'd rather have.

That was the exact shift knob that came to my mind. I bought one a couple years ago for our old 98 Celica as it was what came in SS-iii Celicas from 98-99. I still have it sitting in it's original bag, never been installed.

The Supra came with a similar one as well...but obviously had 6 gears instead of 5 on the top.

Considering it's a Toyota...they better offer a good sound system anyway dammit

Will it even be stick? Could be shifters for all we know....stick is dying

I've never actually touched one so I can't say... I enjoy my twosrus white ball though.

NESW20 · 03-19-2011, 04:11 AM

excuse the dirty interior, but there it is! TRD lever, brass base and cable bushings, 98 knob, redline boot.

Mr.Jay · 03-19-2011, 04:17 AM

Fortunate Few · 03-19-2011, 04:49 AM

Midship Runabout · 03-19-2011, 11:26 AM

Ya I know what they look like, I have never used one. But they do look great don't get me wrong.

Giccin · 03-19-2011, 11:37 AM

Wheels. Tires. Tint. Will decided on coilovers after a few rides in the canyon and track *possibly*.

At some point.. I was also thinking of adding a little design onto my car so it looks different. lol

FT-86GOD · 03-19-2011, 11:42 AM

Already voted. But "one" of my first mods will be converting to a Nardi steering wheel with boss kit..
