New here, Few questions about some mods.
 

Hey guys, new to the forum and new to vehicle modifications in general. I dont know much about cars at all but im learning. Yes, i will have a professional do almost all of my modifications for me so i dont ruin my car :thumbsup: First things first, im buying a used BRZ. Want a brand new one but if i get one cheaper that gives me a little more money to play with.

Please no disrespect or flaming if i sound stupid or have no idea what im talking about. Lets keep this post nice and helpful. I currently own a little family car that ive done nothing too but drove. But now its paid off and its daddys turn to get his own car :D I also need a hobby honestly, and ive always been interested in cars.

I want to get the V2 Rocket Bunny Aero kit for my car but i like certain features the V1 has. Is it possible to just get the individual parts and put them on the car? Will they fit together properly or will it take some extra modding? And what color are the parts when you get them? Like... grey? :iono:

Another question, in pictures of the certain BRZs (or scions or 86s whatever) with the aero V2 I see the "GREDDY" painted on that part in the front (sorry, dont know anything lol) When i put the aero kit on will that part be there? Because i really like seeing that there and would personally like that on mine.

You can see an example here http://www.speedhunters.com/2013/10/...nny-86-ver2-0/

I also intend on installing the GREDDY Turbo kit. Is it worth the price? I would love an engine swap but thats alot of money as well and i would just have a perfectly good engine lying around.

Few more small things, I want to install different seats, a harness bar, get it painted, new steering wheel, wheels, and tires. So if you know great products that fit and are a great price and work well please share. Try to keep them White or Black please (except the wheels, i like some of the colored ones) because i dont know what the exterior color will be and i want the inside to match.

I know this is alot but this is going to be spaced out over the next year or 2. With that being said, what order should i do these mods in? Are there any other, more efficient, cost effective, mods you would recommend?

Thanks in advance for any helpful information you guys provide!

Do yourself a favor.... buy the car first then worry about modding it after you've owned the car.

Dear fourms,

Please build my car for me.

Love, Dylanacessna


Buy it and enjoy it stock first.

Drive you car, get a feel for it first, and read through some of the great threads already on this forum. Then you can build your own car instead of just trying to duplicate what others want. Do you have much track experience or any advanced driver training? No point throwing an RB and a turbo on with some fatties for powah before you know you can handle the car.

If you go on Greddy's website, they have the RB kits pieces listed separately so yes, they do now sell parts separately. But the trick is finding a vendor who does that. So send some emails.

Greddy turbo, no. same kit is offered by Speed by Design for like $1500 cheaper. Check the threads.

You will definitely need suspension upgrades instead of new seats. Check the threads.

Just get it wrapped instead of painted. Check the threads.

There's a wheel directory. Check the threads.

Maybe just do small stuff before splurging without much knowledge on what you want to buy. Check out the phantom electric supercharger, thats a pretty interesting setup that might be better for you until you know what you want for the turbo. Much cheaper as well. Grab a lip and skirts and maybe talk to Driveway labs for a diffuser. No need to drop 10-15 grand in the car before doing your own research.

Good luck..

For not knowing much about cars, you want to jump straight into pretty much the most extreme cosmetic and power modifications available to the platform. If that's really want to do, you better do a lot of research beforehand. Cutting up your fenders and going forced induction probably shouldn't be the first things on your to-do list.

I would set yourself a personal challenge, right now your "wants" in the interior department are the easiest to achieve on your list. I would shoot to try and get those changes done first and if you make it through the interior changes then make another thread about the body kit, and lastly the engine. The time it will take you to accomplish each task you'll have been on the forum long enough to have read about the other mods and know what's involved in performing them. I would say your knowledge is pretty limited on these mods so your best task to do is read and search the forums for what you desire. It's not as direct as flat out asking the forum but it will be far more educational.

In case the OP has no fucking clue what he's about to blindly chop up, these four videos might benefit his knowledge:

You just went full retard. Never go full retard.

Well I have a very short period of time before I get it. My friend is an owner and I've driven his many times so I know how it handles. I'm just getting an idea of what's getting purchased first, what price, where from etc. I like being prepared and having a plan or goal set in place .:thumbup:


in no way was I asking the forum to build my car for me I was just asking questions about the specific mods I had in mind for it. I have access to a private shop where everything will be done. A family friend is doing the job with me. He's going to be the brains since I don't know much and I'm just going to be the hands. That's just how I learn. Hands on 1on1 interaction. I wouldn't want anyone to build my car for me. There's no feeling of accomplishment there. I would take more pride in my car knowing I did it with my hands.

Thanks you for the advice and lack of sarcasm lol much appreciated.

How did he go full retard? Lol is there a significant difference between the two? Are they not the same?

I think SBD is made in china, and greddy is not.

In otherwords SBD is a knock-off. Like all things knock-off, they are cheaper... and cheaper.

Ahh okay. Yeah I definitely don't want to put any cheap knock off parts on my car. You get what you pay for. A firm believer in that.

Read the threads. Or pay Greedy like husker obviously did. :laughabove:

Lol ffs.. "I think"

No you don't. Go home.

Edit: I see that you actually went to the thread and started reading it. Doing some research before your next comment?
