What's the first thing you upgraded?
 

Already considering getting a 2016 FRS before the end of the year and I was wondering what's the first thing you upgraded after you got your FRS? Suspension? Exhaust? Intake? Did you do any exterior mods as well? I'm going to leave the engine bone stock for the time being.

HIDs, clear side markers, all red oem tails, and Toyota badges. I bought these the same weekend I bought the car lol

the hideous stock wheels.

Toyota badges. Increased hp by 20.

Tires

Changed the emblems, shift knob, and rear view mirror. After that the big mods came through.

I drove mine stock for the first 5k miles, did a few autox's, then changed out the wheels and tires, lowered a little with RSR Sport coilovers... Wow! What a difference! Looks better and handles better... primarily from the better, wider tires.

Valve stem caps, seriously. :thumbup:

drop in filter and oft.

Stereo. Replaced the head unit, speakers, added an amp and reversing camera.

Week after purchase, cat back, brakes pads, fluid and lines!

Brake pads and fluid as they were the first let down, driving back from the track after my second ever HPDE was very harrowing with spongy faded brakes.

Upgraded (added)a center arm rest ....... that's all it needed, for comfortably driving around the countryside ....... ;)

Good plan for leaving the engine bone stock ........ forever, IMHO (for average driving).

Oh, you might consider an aftermarket muffler ..... to let out a bit more sound ..... ;)

Actually, the car is set up pretty darn good, right off of the boat ..... give it a chance to show you what it can do ........ more than likely, it can do more than you can handle ....... :popcorn:


humfrz

Didn't feel it need anything for the street.

But when went to track Brake pads, fluid, alignment/camber bolt

Trd drop filter and otf. Stock rims didn't bother me.
I also really like stock suspension.

Exhaust xD

But try the Sti rear frame upper stopper, I think the the best cheap mod I have ever done to cars. 10 buck + shipping. lol

Clear side markers

My car. By buying it.

K&N drop in filter, cheap easy.. entryway dr...upgrade..

Perrin catback. I really disliked the stock sound and under-sized exhaust tips.

After that I bought tires/wheels and brake pads, but that was mainly to prep for the track.

like a week after owning it, i went and got it tinted

think the first thing i actually did was a drop in filter and some HID's

Clear bra is a good start to me before go fast parts but I still have the clear bra in my possession but just haven't had time to install it. I'm staying far as possible from other cars and trucks when highway driving. Also wash, polish, and wax the exterior. Don't let the dealer wash it. IMHO

My personality?

I've been more open and talkative to strangers since I bought the car....

You mean with real people right? Not just us virtual buddies.

Of course! I'm not a total hermit...

It would've been awkward during the two mountain drives if I'd shown up and not say a word.

"Who is this guy in the orange FRS following us around for 6 hours..."

Transmission fluid

I'm thinking about changing out the suspension and exhaust after breaking it in. Would coilovers be too much or would I be fine with the stock struts and some aftermarket lowering springs for daily driving?

For DD save yourself hassle and money and stick to springs. I have the RSRs and am very happy with them on my 3,500 mile a month DD.

@1000 miles full exhaust and turbo kit with first oil change. Feelsgoodman

Weathertech floor mats & Track time.

Any other "performance mods" PRIOR to taking it out on the track is just bling, plain and simple.

I'm not sure if by upgrade you mean a boost to performance, or just any modification.

The first mod I did was Rally Armor mud flaps for extra protection, and to avoid a lot of nasty spray on the sides of my car as it rains a lot here; I added gloss black caps with washers to cover the screws :)

Almost in conjunction with that I got the car opti-coated; I struggled with putting a good chunk of money towards that for "protection" versus spending that money on the fun stuff, but I have no regrets about that choice now.

For performance - I did the Apexi drop in filter about two months after owning the car :)

First mod

Plugged the sound tube hole in the passenger foot well with the 12v plug from the outlet in the glovebox.

Priceless.

Personally, I have decided that I should hold off on springs and header until its paid. soon..
basically any mod costing a payment or more.. except OFT. got that

Oh come on man. Don't be reasonable and responsible you will ruin the curve for the rest of the forum.

OH, OH, OH, I did that! So I have modded my car myself.

Toyota badges, silicon induction hose with noise tube delete, and a panel filter. I had the parts by the time she had been delivered.

-Plugged the hole for the noise generator.
-TRD Exhaust to make it sound great
-K&N drop-in filter just to breath slightly better, as CAI systems don`t seem to do much on this platform for the money it costs

#1 - sound tube delete/plug
#2 - tranny fluid replace
#3 - MTEC shift springs (manual)
#4 - center armrest

Right? I also forgot about that one.
