Recommended cheaper power gains mods
Hey all,
I'm loving my 86, but as many know the power kinda sucks, I want to feel a bit more scared in the car, I know it's not fast in a straight line too. So where I live I can't turbo/supercharge the 86 or else I may run into cop trouble (because young drivers in Australia have restrictions until 21). My 86 is stock as hell and I'm generally a minimalist, but my mates are picking up some cars with serious competition and we may go to a track day soon, some of them driving the new Golf R Mark 7. Now I've been a Japanese fan since I've been little and I thoroughly believe my 86 baby can catch up with some mods.
Currently I'm considering doing these mods for performance gains (I heard they even help shed a 0-60mph/0-100kmph from 7 sec to 5.5)
- Tires (Bridgestone Potenzas)
- Wheels, possibly something nice and light
- ECU
- Full exhaust
- Coils
Any recommendations of mods or brands would be helpful, or any other tips on increasing power
Also if I do go ahead with the ECU I'm seriously considering e85 but I want it to be practical so I don't have to carry a Jerry can with me
