Man, now I am up to full exhaust and header! And all this started cuz I wanted new tips...

I'm thinking Nameless up front and Perrin in the back.

Try to find sound clips of your intended exhaust choices. Certain items will make your car a LOT louder, vs. only kind of louder. If that's your goal, great. If that's not your goal, it's better to know before you buy.

I change my mind on a daily basis about what I want to buy because I currently can't afford anything, so all I do is think about parts all day long. The other day I saw a group buy for really light wheels, and while that wasn't the plan they were tempting so I was thinking, "Well, super expensive, lightweight wheels seem pointless unless I buy other light stuff." So the list went from wheels, to pulleys, to a carbon fiber driveshaft. If I ever end up with excess money, it won't last long.

Yeah, good advice -- I have listened to a bunch but it's hard to tell exactly how they sound from the videos. Even the Nameless vid with 4-2-1 header didn't seem that loud even though I'm sure it is.

I'm going catted dp/resonated/big muffler I'm pretty sure... for now, haha!

I was so excited when I took delivery before the dealer drilled my front bumper I bought the most expensive license plate relocator. Now I've joined this site, maybe you've heard of it FT86club so I can figure out which mod to get next. The shifter bushing tempts me especially with the reasonable price. I plan on going back to the dealer at 5000 miles and leveraging the fact that my rear tires will be bald by then to get a better set.

Why would the dealer give you new tires after 5k miles? And why would they give you an upgrade?

Made the statement in jest. No new tires or upgrade expected.

This is pretty clearly a subliminal message that you need to buy a big brake kit.
Just thought someone should point it out.

Get your choice of FI, wheels, tires, coil overs, brakes, fluids shifters etc...and all the bling inside. Then buy the dang car. My advise and don't ask me how I know. 😗

G-awesome · 04-24-2014, 12:56 AM

Welcome to the point of no return...I said stock for a year. That didn't happen after my first car wash. Then came the side vents, oil cap, exhaust tips, sharkfin, drop in filter...now looking at rims, new tires, winter tires, and engine upgrades.

Tye300 · 04-24-2014, 06:42 AM

I said I just wanted rims and springs. Look at what that got me. Haha!
