What if You had 5 Grand to Spend
 

Title pretty much sums it up. If you had $5,000 what would you buy for your BRZ? I'm wanting to do some upgrades to my stock BRZ but don't know exactly what.:iono:

Depends what kind of person you are. Do you like performance or aesthetics?

I would personally do wheels, tires, and coilovers.

This ^

Personally I like both. The thought of a turbo or supercharger is very appealing. But coil overs, new exhaust, wheels and tires etc. is also tempting.

Lots of track time and the associated maintenance... then progressively move towards brakes, wheels, tires, suspension and tune.

That's not really in my character, I'm more of a person that babies my cars and run the guts out occasionally.

coilovers, wheels, brakes, full bolt ons+tune

I'd say if it had to be spent for mods. Wheels and tires.
If it was me trying to be somewhat responsible. I'd put the majority of it towards paying the car off.

lol Turbo obvi how has no one suggested this

OFH (have OFT already)
PLM overpipe
Magnaflow catted/resonated front pipe
Invidia Q300 cat back
Crawford BPBs
RCE Tarmac springs
Bilstein B8 struts
HVT front top mounts
Grp N rear top mounts
RCE swaybar set
Racer X rear LCAs, UCAs, trailing arms, and toe arms
Energy Suspension poly bushings for front suspension
Perrin engine mounts
Koyo radiator
Perrin oil cooler
Rays 57Xtreme 18x8.5+42, powdercoated shiny bronze, with a 10mm spacer on the rear
Michelin PSS 245-35/18
Driveway Labs Type 2 rear diffuser
FT-86SF front splitter

That should about do it.

$5k won't get you to FI and a proper tune, and then you always have the fun of knowing it could all go up in smoke. :thumbdown:

+1 for paying down the car

+2 for tired and wheels


If you're looking to baby and enjoy it, do something that will make you smile every time you get in without adding potential future costs. Better handling is always nice and I've heard some great exhausts.


For $150 you could go buy the cheapest tires Walmart sells and smile till you burn em' off. My buddy has a large paved strip on his property leading to the house. Turning off the nannies on this car is Nirvana. I never got why people drift until this weekend.:burnrubber: and the best part is you'd still have $4850 left!

ehh I did it under 5,it is possible if you do your own work. I just priced out with 5500 you will get you a base kit from FBM with a Tune from HRI and a clutch that will keep you smiling for weeks on end.

That's called a "driveway".
