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

If you're going to track your car Bridgestone potenza tires are a good way to start... sticky tires are key for tracking.
As far as modifications go you should consider TOMEI or BORLA headers and go for a tune.
If you consider doing more than the above mods.... remember Air + Fuel = Power. So the more air and fuel the more power you make.
- Get a cold air intake.
- Remove the stock air snorkel and replace with aftermarket air duct (HKS air duct) while your there replace the throttle body for a better one.
(these mods are for the best air flow)
-Bigger Fuel Pump and Fuel Injectors allow more fuel into engine.
-And dont forget the tune
The above mods are the best way to improve your power... now staying N/A now forced induction is a whole different story...
