Who else has a modification plan?

[Stryker]

Am I the only one?

Ever since I started seriously shopping for this car I've been looking around on the forums and finding mods to do on my car.

So far there's like 50 modifications I want to buy for the car when it gets here...going to take a few years but I've got it planned out

Anybody else keep a list like this? What's on your list?

[BlueDubbinTDI]

all of us have said list

most just lack said cash

[dbrandt01]

I always do. Same thing I did with my truck before I traded it in for this car as shown below. it was stock when I got that.

To answer this, the main thing I want is exhaust (still undecided which one). I want a nice set of wheels (again undecided) and Ecutek after I do an exhaust. That's pretty much it. I'm trying not to go all "mod happy" on this car.

[Chauntalei]

Definitely have a list, it's pretty short though:

Done:
Smoked sides
Drop in filter
Wheels
Lowering springs

To do:
New tails
Tint
Custom tune
Catback

Things like headers/midpipe/etc are 'would be nice' but they aren't on my list of 'must have' in order to get the car where I want it.

I think everyone here has one. Personally I find that mine changes frequently lol

[Burrcold]

Mine is a living list.

Yep, everyone has one and they're always changing, some more than others. The details of mine change from time to time, but the overall plan has not changed:

1. Make the car as light as possible
2. Get it dialed in (suspension, brakes, braces, etc.)
3. Power

i don't consider mine so much of a list as much as a state of normalcy for me.. i just can't accept a car in stock form..

but overall, my list is the same things i did to my last car, just tweaked a little to match the new car's style...(stereo, massive amounts of custom-made led stuff, then maybe wheels/tires/brakes/suspension if i get around to it)

[Jive Turkey]

here's my list:

things to change:
everything

[suaveflooder]

I have a basic idea of what I would like to accomplish on the car. No exact parts (examples, I want an exhaust, just not sure what one. I want a wing, just not sure what one), but a list, yes.

[muffinz]

here's my list:

1. win the lotto
2. buy a 911 gt3
3. turn brz into a rally car and lift it about 3" just to make people go "WTF?!"

but seriously:

Most likely to actually get done:
1. tires - 245/40/17 MPSS + wheels 17x8 OZ Ultraleggeras
2. coilovers - KW v3 (or KW clubsports if I actually do win the lotto)

Less likey to get done...but still plausible:
3. headerback + tune

Very unlikely...but a man can dream cant he?:
4. POWERRR
4a. LSx swap ORRRRRRR custom turbo setup similar to the P-Tuning setup
4b. Replace clutch/driveshaft/axles after I blow them up.

i used to do that but after a couple cars, ive realized the futility and the waste of resources that happens. now that i have a more clear perspective and can really assess what i want form a car, i can drive it like it is and fix the shortcomings as i find them. im sure its a cheaper, more fulfilling route.

'fulfilling' is a matter of personal preference.. i don't mod my cars for anyone else's benefit but my own, as my car is as much an expression of myself as it is a hobby, just like i rebuild and destroy r/c helicopters(i swear they fly into the ground all by themselves!).. on paper, it doesn't make any sense at all, but it gives me enjoyment, so that's why i continue doing it..

i guess i should have prefaced that i almost despise cars. working on them is the worst. driving them however, is a joy. having an amazing car means little to me. i just work to make my driving experience as enjoyable as possible. many times before i have spent money on things that i didnt utilize to the extent that i imagined so now i wait until the car shows a deficit and i fix it. its cheaper for me and i get at least the same amount of joy plus knowing that i was more efficient chasing needs rather than wants. i guess the choice is what makes us spend so much time with cars. either way its cool.
