Will this BRZ be ok turned back to stock?
 
5 Attachment(s)
I originally wanted a stock one but the previous seller backed out.
However, there is another one for a very decent price but I have a couple of questions: (see photos of car)

1. Are these mods easy to turn back to stock? and would if i did return to stock, would it "never be the same again" since it was modded already for 18,000 kilometers?
HKS Suction
Borla UEL headers
AVO catback exhaust
Megan racing coilovers
Spyder Tail Lights

Im not so knowledgeable here so im afraid ill have to leave it to a shop to turn the exhaust system back to stock.

2. Are body kits drilled? or can they be removed back to stock and ill be free of unnecessary drilling holes?

Pass on the car. Just wait for a stock one.

You're going to spend hundreds of dollars just to pay for a shop to swap the exhaust and the stock exhaust itself.

And who knows what else was done to the car that you don't already know about

The borla header is catless. Did they tune it after swapping the header? OFT or Ecutek? Is the tuner provided with the car? If not you're in for a huge pain in the ass trying to get that sorted out.

There are enough unmolested BRZs out there that you don't need this one.

Geeeeeez just how many of these cars are for sale in the Philippines? This is what, number eight or so? Go with the blue one you posted last time.

Oh to bad! It was the best you have asked about so far.

Indeed ! The wait may have to be another 6 months.

I would pass on the car, but FYI the body kit appears to be the STI one which is basically stock since it is a dealer option in most locations

They don't sell the Toyota 86 GT Limited in the Philippines?

1) Everything on that list is a bolt on part. Outside of the cheap coilovers and ugly (in my opinion) tail lights, I'd leave the parts on.

2) Things are drilled, and that is a reproduction of the factory STI kit, so not a bad thing to have. The front lip will stop the front bumper from being beaten up.

Why do you want a stock car?

Some people don't want to spend good money on a car with cheap/tacky parts?

They do, but I really want a Subaru this time. Our family has owned exclusively toyotas ever since :P

Well, its going to be my first "sport" car and I really want to enjoy it the way it was designed straight from the factory first. I dont really plan on modding it too because if I do plan to get a next car it might be an amg when im older. This is going to be my light fun car then

But those wheels though? It is not cheap!
