Cheap Simple Mods
 

New BRZ owner here - 2015 CBS Sport Tech

Need some advice on cheap upgrades like an air filter, oil type, intake etc..

Dont wanna get crazy on the mods but would like to upgrade a bit...thanks guys

Sound tube delete should be #1. Free, if you use the power plug cap in the glove box to plug the hole.

This is just for sound preference right? It doesn't do anything for performance does it?

No... But some things are more important then performance. Like being able to carry a conversation at highway speeds..

Honestly, I don't understand how this sound is exaggerated so much.

I have left it unplugged, and have had zero issues with cabin noise.....not even remotely close to being annoying, or unbearable.

It's not that it's that loud, but it just sounds unnatural to me.

Try plugging it. You will immediately notice, and be pleased with the difference.

Dunno if the guys at the plant have figured out yet how to adjust the clutches. At least for all the 2013s, engagement point was set WAY too high.

It's easy and will completely transform the car. In other words, it will become drivable.

its even nicer once you remove it entirely with something like the perrin intake tube.

other simple mods. LED interior, trunk, fog, reverse and license plates lights. Drop in filter, heavier shift knob (e.g anarchy motive) motul gear 300 for the transmission and diff, 5 or 6k HID bulbs to match upgraded fogs, cat back exhaust for improved sound and don't forget to update the start up screen on your screen :)

i look at a nice set of bitch tits everyday, ok three times a day, once when i look in the mirror and twice when i get in the car.

I'm trying to convince the SO that she would be more comfortable with seatbelt pads in my car...

-Debadge is free
-Clear sidemarkers are around $100
-JPM Coachworks leather or alcantara shift and e-brake boots make the interior look better for short money
-paint taillights all red for what, $10-20? Much less than buying TOM'S for $480 like I did!
-lowering springs for ~$225 and bolt on wheel spacers will give it a nicer stance and better wheel fitment
-Cusco accelerator pedal is ~$65 and helps with heel-toe maneuvers

Congrats and welcome!

power mods...

panel filter is all you need. Maybe consider an intake tube to delete sound generator crap, but all you really need is a panel filter for the intake. Next, there's not too much you can do for power. Perhaps some new fluids/oil (see maintenance section).

Camber bolts

About $20, approx -1.0 degree (stock spec is right about 0). Cheap mod with instant feedback.

For next to nothing you can fix the rattle prone window switches with some foam tape and have a pretty significant impact on the quality of the sound system.
