All the Grimmspeed products have been installed now for 86fest including: Strut bar, license relocater, master cylinder brace, battery tie down, oil cap, and hood struts. Also got a shark fin installed and LED's running in the side markers and tail lights.
I should get some good photos of the car this weekend.
Here's the updated mod list:
Making it Sexy: Not much was needed here as the car is just plain sexy stock.
- TOMS Taillights
- Traded trunk with FR-S to get rid of the wing
- White Side Markers w/ White LEDs
- VIS Carbon Fiber Fender Flares (Wanted to be distinctive)
- Tint front to back
- White LEDs for License Plate
- GrimmSpeed License Plate Relocation Kit
- GrimmSpeed FT86 Oil Cap
- GrimmSpeed Battery Tie Down
- GrimmSpeed Hood Struts
- Beat-Sonic Shark Fin Antenna
What I'm Riding On: I wanted my car to look good but I don't need the lightest or the most expensive wheels. Of course I'd like TE37s but I wanted to put the cost elsewhere.
- Rota Grid Hyperblack 18" Staggered 8.5"/9.5"
- BF Goodrich KDW 2
Not Crashing: I needed my car to stop.
- Stoptech Front BBK
- GrimmSpeed Master Cylinder Brace
How it Rides: I didn't need coilovers for the street. Plain and simple I wanted just a slightly stiffer ride, get rid of the body roll, and lowered just enough to close the fender gap. (BTW, the ride is absolutely perfect with this setup for me)
- Racecomp Yellow Springs with bump stops
- Racecomp Sway Bar set
- Whiteline Com-C Strut Mounts
- Whiteline Reach Camber Kit
- Whiteline Rear Crossmember Bushing
- GrimmSpeed Strut Tower Brace
Making it Bump: Stock sound system is terrible. TERRIBLE. So I fixed it.
- Alpine SP60c Speakers in the front
- JL XD700 5 Channel Amp under the seat
- JL Sub Controller mounted under the steering wheel column.
- JL Stealth Box
- Lots and lots and lots of Hushmat (no more rattles anywhere)
Making it Fly: My goal wasn't tons of power but reliable power. I've had powerful turbo cars and I didn't need to jump from 150hp to 500hp in the middle of a turn so I felt a supercharger fit my needs for power and reliability. I liked the HKS kit over the Vortech for the torque curve (although both are great).
- HKS Supercharger Kit
- Deatschwerks Fuel Injector Kit (700cc)
- Deatschwerks Fuel Pump
- Perrin Oil Cooler (Last thing I want is to overheat)
- ECUTEK Tuned
- ACT Clutch
- ACT Lightweight Flywheel
- Revworks UEL Header
- Perrin Overpipe
- Perring Front Pipe with High Flow Cat
- Nvidia Q300 Exhaust
And a quick shot of the engine bay.
