Hello Kitty stickers all over, just like what I did to my current car.:party0030:

Maxim 01-08-2011 02:05 PM
Other. This thing is getting an ECU piggyback program right out of the door.

linkwpc 01-14-2011 10:39 AM
I would do a catback. Thats the first thing I do to all my cars.

SUB-FT86 01-14-2011 11:39 AM
If the sport package comes with gorgeous wheels and good tires it won't be my first mod. If it comes with funny looking wheels then it will be my first mod. I chose CAI though.

fargasj 01-17-2011 09:35 AM
CCW wheels, and coil overs?

Desire1314 01-18-2011 07:25 PM
Other than a sound system for daily use, the first mods would have to be a drop and a set of Volks to start off. Since it's a new car, I would hold off on bolt-ons for a while and enjoy driving it stock for a year or so.

KiingDavid 01-19-2011 09:14 AM
taking out traction control

Sea1monkey2 02-03-2011 10:38 PM
i've come to the conclusion that the absolute first thing that i will do to my ft-86 is to put a decal reading "フロントガラス" on the front windshield. that is all

-TokenSX- 02-03-2011 10:55 PM
Intake and Exhaust :D

digital_assassin 02-07-2011 12:44 AM
1st mod... drop that ish! If the wheels and tires are total crap it may take precedence.

kurtis 02-09-2011 05:46 PM
My first mod I would do would be a catback! Then do wheels/tires and suspension at the same time! I miss the sound of the boxer rumble =(

My awesome (or not) translator said that "フロントガラス" = Windshield

Is that correct? if so -- fucking awesome.
if not - fucking awesome.
if it is though, I think I'd want to as well lol

Correct, its a translation through Google of "front windshield". I figure, all of these people putting obvious branding like "Impala" on impalas and stuff like that, gonna change it up a little bit :party0030:

you sir, made my week that much better. :clap:

btw - if you take out the "front" part and hit translate, its the same thing. Love how that language works, based on context lol. Either way -- its epic.

I didn't realize people still do that. Lol

In Japan they stopped.

straight pipe and cat back exhaust.

Stock.

OK, maybe LSD if they don't offer one.

I love BBS, but...
BBS just filed for bankruptcy because there are a lot of knocked off on the market. Even though Lexus, BMW, and other premium brands start using BBS wheels, it makes no different either. Damn knocked-off. I need CNC first.

NESW20 02-21-2011 05:25 PM
looks like they're restructuring, not disappearing. phew! :)

Damn, I didn't go through the update. LOL They are the best wheel manufacturer, I hate to see them go.

enjoi926 02-22-2011 10:57 AM
The first thing I'm going to do when I get my FT-86 is put my Holset boosted 3SGTE in it. I don't really care what its going to take to do it. I absolutely hate Subaru flat 4's. I think they are one of the most unreliable motors to deal with when modding (Subaru guys don't even bother hitting me with your "They're super reliable/best motors ever built garbage", they are a hit or miss - most of the time a super miss.)

We're building a V8 Turbo Corolla right now, I don't think the FT-86 should be too hard to do, the hardest part is going to be the wiring, but even then I have a full AEM EMS to run the car off of. - http://www.worksterautoworks.com/Wor...r_Journal.html

Unless my mind changes by the time this thing actually comes out, I'm set on doing this.

DantKR 02-22-2011 11:42 AM
You have more money than I do if you're doing all that :P seems like a waste to the MR-2 instead of seeing what the flat-4 can do in the car.

agreed.

enjoi - what engine would you put back into the MR2??

Aki 02-22-2011 03:54 PM
This is speculation, but in light of the Toyota "sticky pedal" thing I'm worried that they'll have the brake pedal and gas pedal far apart... so that bad drivers don't mistake one for the other. In that case the first mod will be a wider brake pedal for heel and toe =P

Enjoi, you just struck a nerve in Ichi...

No wonder why my buddy was so quick to sell his 400hp 07 STi with stock internals!

Not entirely...

I do agree that boxer engine is very picky engine. Need to tune it right way or you just gonna get screwed over... but that's the reason why I like boxer engine. Those ppl that thinks just adding bigger turbo/FMIC/exhaust is the one complaining about boxer engine is crap. Real boxer engine fan know how & what need to be done w boxer engine and how strong it is.

I don't care he pull out boxer engine and put 3S or whatever in this car and need to cut out the hood cuz it's hitting the engine... or putting v8 turbo in corolla and change it into low end tq pig. BUT I do care that hearing those kind of BS from someone that haven't fully worked on boxer engine is complaining about how POS the engine is.

Correct me if I'm wrong, enjoi... actually don't. It's waste my time reading it.

in a manual transmission car, they really have no need for that. ugh. i will be really upset if they screw up pedal positioning on this one.

In this case, how crappy Porsche is. LOL
Don't forget that Toyota helps building the engine. And people who don't like the engine shouldn't be here, honestly. There are many good looking, easily-swappable-engine cars, why bother going after the car? It's like swapping LS engine in an RX-7/8, it only makes the car less charming/unique.
BTW, I'm a Toyota fan.

Isn't that true with any motor? Too much boost with stock internals and it can only take so much. My buddies STi was running fine and I almost bought it from him b/c that thing was a blast to drive. Wasn't sure how long it would last and I didn't want to be there to find out!
