What would you do to your FRS with $10K - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

benlevy3 · 10-01-2012, 09:42 PM

OK. I am 90% sure I am getting an FRS. I actually have my "deposit" for the next White, Blue, or Gray one that the dealer gets. They have a white one coming in this week, but it is "sold". I bought a venza from my sales guy (who is actually a sales manager) before so he did not want the "deposit". Sad thing is there are red, silver and black ones available.

So the other option would be a used Cayman S. I would expect the Cayman S to be at least $10K more. Ready to drop that in to the FRS.

My plan:
1) New wheels
2) New head unit
3) Supercharger !!

As soon as there is a reliable supercharger (or maybe a turbo) is available, I am in. This need to be reliable. I know it will kill the warranty, but hey it needs to be done.

keep in mind, the cost of ownership of a Porsche Cayman-S in considerably higher than a Scion FR-S or Subaru BR/Z. I just did a 40K scheduled maintenance on my 06' 997 and it set me back $2400 (would have been more if I replaced my rotors). Porsches are great cars and you can find some great deals on pre-owns but parts and labor are very expensive....just saying.

if i had 10k to play with... Wheels+Tires ~2k, Turbo Kit ~5k, Coilovers ~2K, Tuning ~1k... Then would still need some good aftermarket gauges + pod, probably some other suspension bits, and subframe braces... easily an extra couple K ... It's hard to stop once you start lol.

I never understood these "Make my financial decisions for me" threads.

Turbo kit. Use the leftover money for supporting mods. These would make this car a DREAM come true.

With 10k I would pay it off.

mrlewistan · 10-01-2012, 11:55 PM

Either pay off a portion of my car or if its strickly for mods Id do hid head lights, rear louver, set of rims, replace the faux vent under blinker, get custom fitted seat covers, trd exhaust

Some nice-ass wheels with kickass coil overs.

mrlewistan · 10-02-2012, 12:04 AM

If I had $15000 burning a hole in my pocket is put air ride suspension in it so I can lower it for an aggressive look or raise it so it could make it over the curb of the driveway

Cade01 · 10-02-2012, 12:45 AM

Wheels/tires, coils, turbo, tint, and TRS retro-quicks.

Josh B · 10-02-2012, 01:03 AM

18x8 BBS CH wheels
KW V3 coilovers
STi brakes all around
Intake and exhaust
Sparco seats and harnesses
Half cage

Ok, that might be a bit over $10k, but not by much.
