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

most people wont outdrive the stock car especially with decent tyres
Read the "Basic bolt on mods guide"
Without turbo or Supercharger gains are mild
You can get most of the naturally aspirated power gains with 3 things
In Aussie dollars
catless header about $800 with overpipe (psr uel header/overpipe or tomei)
tune less than $300 depending on location
E85 fuel (with appropriate tune)
Ecutek tunes are expensive in Australia, look for a BRZ edit or opensource tuner.
you can do map switch tunes with ecutek to do 95/98/E40/E85 switchable on the fly but your looking at about $700
