What should be my first mod? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Just got my brz and I was wondering where I should start as far as aftermarket mods?

My first mod was the OEM toyota armrest. Really completes the interior

SloS14 · 01-04-2014, 06:44 PM

Open Flash Tablet

probably a tune. if you plan to go FI in the future get ecutek, if not get an openflash tablet and use the OTS tunes.

Intake and exhaust

A drop in, free-er flowing air filter, would be good.

K&N makes a good one.

Delete the sound tube and throw in a panel filter.... Drive it. Then maybe a catted front pipe if you plan on messing with the car.

AutoX or if you're lucky HPDE...

Have you used the openflash tablet?

The addiction begins with the first mod:

Beatsonic Sharkfin Antenna.

Speed: tune
Handling: tires
Cosmetic: I dunno dip your rims

a nice cat back, not so much for power, but just to give the car a nice little rumble. make it sound as fast as it looks.. even if its not actually fast lol.

other than that like others have said.. tune, wheels/tires, track day.

first thing i did was debadge.

Thanks for the feedback guys, but I have no idea where to start. Some more specific tips would be awesome for example "starting here would be good for this and that". I have plenty of mechanical experience and tools just need a starting point (preferably performance wise).
