I've modified a few cars before and I've learnt that:

b) improvements are mostly moving around the compromise between existing properties of the car and rarely a big improvement of the combination
c) they always feel a bigger improvement at first, when you actually felt a difference. But either you get used to the quickly, or ...
d) .... you upset the balance somewhat and want to change eleventhirty other things, too

So it is best to find a car that from the outset was designed closest to your expectations, hence why I am here. I have managed to limit my modifications on my latest cars and this one I now decided I will modify for max 5% of the purchase price, all non-visible.

And now there is the question of timing - personal situation vs. 2nd hand market trends. I imagine that I am rather patient (true or not depends on when and who you ask), just like the development of this car, me getting it may be a somewhat longer story
This is the most sensible post I've read on this forum. By far.

It's just that... well... getting a GT86 isn't a very sensible thing to do in the first place.
