Background: I have a 2015 FRS with 120,000 KMs. It’s my DD, it’s been treated well, serviced at the proper intervals, new plugs, tranny flush. Running headers with a stage 2 OFT tune...but I’m getting the wife’s Vibe as a daily so I can tuck my FRS away as a weekend toy.
Question  o I drop what is effectively $6-8k to FI my ride, with a tune, clutch, all the supporting mods, or do I take that cash and purchase a new toy, like a WRX or Mustang, BMW 235, etc trade in the FRS and make payments on something new?
I’d like vet to hear the communities thoughts. |
How do you define weekend toy?
Competitive track?
Do you know what class the changes would put you in, if even available in your area and all the costs associated with them
More interested in F&F style drag racing in the streets?
Hard parking at meets but able to peel out really cool?
Do you truly believe you can do any sort of quality FI build for $6 to $8K? Are you able to do the work yourself?
Are you prepared to deal with any issues that may come up without complaints?
What happens when you are done with modding the car and get bored of it again?
What makes those other cars attractive to you?
Just want somthing different?
Will you be any happier with them once you had them a while?
A couple of years from now will you be back asking if you should trade your Mustang for something else?
