What should I upgrade first on my BRZ - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

vitti821 · 03-24-2015, 02:45 PM

Hello all,
I am new to the BRZ world as I am 16 and just got my first BRZ. I have heard about some possible first upgrades, but I am wondering what is the best option for the least amount of money. I am not all about the go, because my parents don't want that high performance upgrades, but I really am into the look and sound of my car. Thanks for your help.

Get the Always-On module by Diode Dynamics and get some LEDs from them too

one of my favorite mods I have done is my Armrest. its the scion version. my arm rests on it everyday so I really appreciate that mod.

Rear shift bushing, transmission mount insert, diff carrier inserts, and MTEC springs.

FBM Premium Turbo Kit.

On a serious note, blue concave side mirrors.

Buy some plasti dip and black out your emblems like the other kids.

driver mod. go find some HPDEs so you don't wreck while hooning your new toy.

I bought universal rubber floor mats from Sams Club ($20 for Trunk, and $20 for an interior set). You cut them to fit the interior of your car. I like the trunk one especially because it is 1/4 the cost of the Subaru branded version. It doesnt have a lip like the Subaru one though. It prevents things from violently sliding in around in my trunk during DD.

drive the car first. then you will figure out what you want on your own. asking other people what you want to do is just... a waste

Tbh, enjoy the car stock for a long while, I forgot how it feels to have stock suspension. I'd say go subtle improvements such as window tint, a sound system, drop in filter with inlet tube.
Maybe settle with an exhaust for sound

Modify the cup holders to hold special extra-big sized cans of Monster energy drink and a rear seat delete so all the flat-bill hats lay perfectly.
