Wish list
 

This should be interesting...
Let's assume You had R100,000 to spend on aftermarket bits what would you buy? (About $7400 or so at today's exchange rates).

In no particular order here are some of things I'd love;
Exhaust (headers first, then the rest)
Edelbrock SC
Brakes (maybe just rotors etc, maybe bbk)
Wheels (plenty nice 18" ones out there) + tyres of course.
Front splitter - looks ace
Valenti tail lights (already have these)
Carbon fiber drive shaft
Pulley kit (eg Perrin)
Oil cooler


Problem is this wish list is way more than my imaginary budget ;-)

That V8 with Hybusa heads from NZ.

Tyres and brake pads, 9 sets of each :D

Lol I'll just copy and paste mind from Excel already written up:

AVO 3.0" Stainless Steel Full Turbo Back Exhaust System (Turbo Setup) - No Cat
AVO Turbo Kit Blow Off Valve - Polished
Omni 3Bar Map sensor
AVO Sports Filter Kit with Airbox Kit (Turbo Setup)
AVO Breather Tank for the Turbo Setups

Innovate EBC

Powerbrake RS Series High-Carbon slotted discs
Ferodo DS Performance brake pads

More then 100k but its a wishlist!!

Get Ferodo DS2500 instead of DS Performance. They are ok for spirited driving at least and fine for daily driving too.

Nice list... but you have not helped me narrow down some options - I think you've just added to my wishlist haha.

Hahaha - I don't have as much time on my hands to smoke tyres on the track (yet!).

On a more serious note, in answer to your question, this is what I'd do...
But I'm a wrinkly, so... whatever :)

More torque. Not bhp, just torque to get rid of the mid-range RPM slump.
Either a good header and tune, or add ethanol and dual mapping, or a low boost SC.
Many people know a lot more about this than me, but the need is a bit more torque.
I went the SC route.

More tyres. The stock tyres just don't cut the cake.
Well, unless you like making a lot of smoke and noise without going very fast, then enjoy.
If you wanna go fast, get some real tyres.

That probably means some nicer and wider wheels too. Yep, good plan, and they look cool too.
But don't go beyond 17'' unless you like paying a kakhuis full of money for tyres.

Fit crash bolts to get some negative camber up front. (approx -1.5°)
They cost about R100 and will save you a fortune in tyres if you drive enthusiastically.

Change your brake fluid. If you drive with gusto, the stock fluid can kill you.
Dump it, and replace with something like Motul RBF660. Costs about R400 + labour.

Do track days, ideally at a safe track like Red Star or Midvaal, and learn your car's handling at the limit.

Then, unless you've gone the SC route, take your (substantial) change from your R100k, and have a good p*ss-up with your mates and congratulate yourself for having such a cool car for so little money and for being so kleva!! :)

Rocket Bunny Version 1!!!

Considering starting with some brake upgrades, an exhaust and tune.
Then I'll see if I need anything else... tyres and wheels possibly next after that.
Track days are great, but time is an issue at the moment - I also don't like Z generally because they only like going right. Red star doesn't do car days often!
Is Midvaal still so damn bumpy?!

The Z is a dangerous track especially when you mix it with the arrogant M3 brigade on Supertrax days - yeech.
If you go there with an N/A 86, then run in class B - much better.
I have to run class A and it's not fun.

Red Star normally has car days on Wednesdays twice a month, and sometimes there are charity or car club days that you can get into. Give Youlanda a call at RSR and ask her to put you on their SMS notification list. Also, subscribe to Red Star's Facebook page for updates. It's a wonderful, technical, and very safe track for cars.

And yeah, of course Midvaal's still bumpy, but it's a lot better than it was a few years ago. At least there are no potholes like there used to be :)

I love Midvaal because I enjoy mixing it with the racecars which grows one's experience and skills in leaps and bounds. Still my favourite track.

Here's what Midvaal looks like now (August). Ignore the oil and cement mess. It's very abnormal to have 3 racecars (a Porsche 928, VW Fox and a Supra) empty their sumps on the track in one day - phew! They used 16 pockets of cement to get the track sort of working again...

I'm sure a v1 rocket bunny kit wouldn't cost around R100k after installed ?

It seen kits (I'm assuming these are replicas) on eBay for under $2000

Would be cool to see companies like RACE! Build a few turbo Rocket bunny 86's in SA

1)Cayman GT4

I second that.

No exactly 100k upgrade :)

I love how they still drove around the racing line for most of the lap... very considerate.
I always enjoyed the layour of Midvaal... just needs re-surfacing. (I spent many days there on the bike practicing for the races... it eventually got so bad with hard race suspension that I was literally getting bounced out of the seat in places).

Redstar would be fun in an 86!
Enough of the :threadjacked: back to upgrades :)

LOL no but it would probably work out cheaper in the long run.

If I had to spend it on the 86 then:
-RGM Supercharger. May not give the biggest performance upgrade but they've got the experience and backup to support and stand by their conversion.
-BRZ zorst
-Powerbrake GT disks + Endless pads + braided lines & fluid
-Diff & gearbox mount inserts

If there is change left then some wheels and Bridgestone RE002 tyres, I'd stick to 17".

I wonder what it will work out too with shipping, rather tempting but we live in SA. Duties will screw us over and we have to worry about it getting damaged during transportation.

Very much so. If you're interested, here's what RSR looks like through my 86's windscreen.
This was the lap which got me 9th overall in Leg 5 of the Michelin Cup in July.

Nice - if you ever need a second driver I'd be interested. :)
I was handy on a bike... not sure how that translated when there is a circle in front of you and no knee scrapping hahaha.

Exactly my problem with quite a few tasty bits the guys overseas get... quotes on things like headers were $400 to ship... not liking the idea of adding almost R5k to the price of my goods.

The good news is that many car parts don't attract import duties... not sure abut body kits though. I know you can import exhausts and superchargers without import duties (otherwise you'd have to add yet another 20/30%). I am not sure about VAT though... I do think you'd have to pay it meaning +14% already!

Who advised you dont pay duties on car parts? I'd like to show that to customs as they nail 20% on all car parts that I've noticed, then a further amount for VAT.

Boost for sure. It's addictingly fun.

If there was money remaining after that, maybe some wheels.

@vividracing

Can we get this for R100,000 ($7500) lol

You guys videos are epic!

Thanks! We do what we can :)

-Seth

My list is:
Headers
Exhaust - Done
Tune with E50 map for track days.
Powerbrake upgrade
Stainless steel brake lines
Brake fluid upgrade - Done

Extra set light weight wheels and sticky tyres for track days
TRD shocks and springs

I'll keep the change to fund the turbo upgrade after i've finished paying off the car.

I've used this site a couple of times... use it in "incognito" mode and you get more than just the 3 free :)

Here is the calc for an exhaust... although I see a supercharger attracts 20%... bastards. :thumbdown:
