For my daily driver BRZ Limited...

1. Toyota 86 Armrest - $200
2. Window Tinting (done locally) - $260
3. Change the radio start-up screen - Free
4. Alarm Activation - Free

I'm never real good at following directions...I didn't keep it under $400, but as close as I could come.

1. The arm rest really should have come stock on this car. To me, it has been a huge upgrade in looks and driver comfort.
2. Another comfort upgrade for me was the tint. I also enjoy the privacy and think it looks better.
3. I was just glad to get rid of the white background on start up, which I found annoying at night.
4. Seems like every dealer should be enabling the alarm by default.

Haha very smart. Although I dont know what kind of tyres your going to get for $100 each. Any decent tyre I have found is around $200.

1. Drop-in Air Filter
2. I'd save my money until I had more than $400 to spend (on performance mods).
3. ?
4. Profit.

EDIT: I could care less about cosmetic modifications unless they also offer performance, and most performance mods cost more than $400. Next on my list is a Short Throw Shifter + Shifter Springs + Bushings, Lightweight Wheels + Summer Performance Tires (after winter), and possibly the Vishnu Header. Oh, and the Electric Supercharger, whenever it finally goes into production. After that, I'll be looking at Suspension and Brakes, and possibly an Aero Kit.

EDIT 2: I guess a Catch Can would be under the $400 mark. Not sure an Oil Cooler is necessary for minor track use without boost, but I think those cost less than $400 too.

Isn't there once a month special deal track day?

Where I live, local track has WOW "Wide Open Wednesday" track deal that 5:30pm-8:30pm, you can track only for $25 (or $30 something like that). It's once for beginner tracker, cuz you won't be tracking against other car, & it's pretty much like autox kinda concept & no other cars won't pass you & you can't either.


Some times, summer time, they have special weekend deal that, $110 for a day track or $280 for whole weekend
