Who has future plans to molest their FT-86? (examples inside)

[SOB]

Being that this car will undoubtedly gain a ton of interest from the younger generations I find it hard to believe that there is not going to be a lot of molesting going on when this baby debuts. I'm just curious who plans to wreck the nice stock body moldings, add scoops, spoilers, largest wheels that can fit (diametrically), paint interior trim, Lambo doors, and so on...

Being someone that respects the factory appearance (and resale value) I always find it funny when people do this type of stuff. Ebay has many examples which generally sell for a fraction of what they should sell for.

Alright so let's hear it. Who's going to make the FT-86 in their own image?

Lastly, whats your thoughts on this type of stuff?

Examples...

[andygee]

the third 350z barely passed the rice limit... if they went a lil less hardcore on it, it probably couldve looked decent.....i cant wait to rice my 86. the spoiler is gonna be 6ft high, and my paint will be seen from space. my cars gonna be like las vegas when im drivin' at night lol....jk but i doubt there will be too much rice, cuz ricers usually cant afford a car over 20k

You dont even need to ask, no one will say I'll rice out my car, put a ugly body kit on w/ a neon lights and spray paint my dash so I'll look cool on the meets and car shows. You can just look at the persons current car and for sure you'll see the future what they will do to the FT86.

[VenomRush]

you're talking to car enthusiasts here.. maybe a front lip and thats about it... rims too

[[es vi: eks]]

All I may do is fit some wheels if I dont like the factory alloys.... Maybe even a kit.
I dont like vehicles that are over done and riced like those pics above.
I hate ugly big chrome rims

[CyberFormula]

Looking forward to put a Sparco or Bride in the Driver Seat only....

then aftermarket midget rims.

Then in the future a Roll cage or Roll Bar.

I don't see how a wing would help seeing as I'll never be able to test it in a wind tunnel.

[Fortunate Few]

rims, coilovers, and as much performance parts as i can afford are the only things i'll be doing.

[EJ20]

well, my plan for my ft86
light weight 17" rims (staggered sure), coilovers (mostly Greddy cuz had good exp with it), and will try to have 250hp NA mods, and a single/angled exhaust (I Hate dual exhausts, they just don't resimble the jap car for me + extra weight)

Supposing the stock steering wheel is leather wrapped with functional buttons like most new cars you would still be replacing it with a Sparco or Bride?

[Matador]

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.....

[enc0re]

Argh, mein eyes!

[SUB-FT86]

Rice is never nice.

[Zorro]

I think it will take a couple years for the used market to pick up, but yes.... Like with all cars, the ricers will come!



That said I really want to do some clean astactic mods on my next car. A nice set of wheels (maybe rays), Huge BBK, exhuast, maybe even a new bumper if I don't love the stock.

[RRnold]

Some car owners should be shot! Once this car has been out for a couple of years, there will be rice!

[Dark]

If my car has over 400hp, I will flare the fender (in a good way). I will probably get offset wheels and the rest I would spend under the hood.

Edit: I have always wanted Tein Coilover for my car, so that would be in my list too.

[Archer256]

If i get this car...i demand nice rims and wheels, tints annddd im good.

these cars are crying in pain.

a rollbar is a horrible idea if you plan to drive on the street. also, its not rocket science how a wing works. you could just use a track day to figure out what settings make you faster. and you would only need a wing if you are having trouble keeping power down otherwise its counter productive

if the car doesnt come with staggered rims doing that would be a horrible idea. also greddy coilovers are trash. the only shock worth buying out of japan would be tein and nothing less than the flex but preferably monoflex

[Giccin]

I wouldn't say molesting my own car.... LOL

Ricaro seats driver and passenger. BBS CS 4 or 5 rims (repainted). Coilovers, Exhaust, and the extra sakura flower design on the rear quarters of the car.

Debating whether or not to change the CBA pedels but eh, who looks at them? lol

As for the OP's pics. Those are disgusting. :l Especially the lambo doors and gullwings. Gross.

Personally, I agree. I get it that some people use their car as rolling sculpture and/or artistic expression, but that's really not my style. I definitely prefer functional before subjective expression.

Dare I say that the Scion version will get riced more than the Subaru version, primarily due to market demographic.

For me though? I'll roll it stock until I determine the weak points of the car. If it needs suspension, brake, engine, or ergonomic work, it'll happen to improve the car. I'm past the point in my life where I just mod the car for the sake of modding it.

Me too. I wonder if this view is highly age dependent? Bet more guys in their late 20s and early to mid 30s have this viewpoint rather than the teenagers and early 20s crowd.

I will leave the car stock and wait to see what area I want to upgrade or when something breaks.

[C-Bone]

People can definitely over-do it, non functional scoops, huge overzealous body kits and spoilers, weird colored wheels and body... yuck. Maybe a nice front lip spoiler if I think it needs it (which looking at it now probably not), nice wheels and tires, possibly full exhaust, coilovers/lowering springs (which again I may not need), HID's if they dont come factory, engine mods?
