Wait, who am I kidding? Tint, wheels, tires, and suspension. Probably exhaust too.

I think somebody should merge the Toyota, Subaru and Scion logos into a badge, and put that on the car. And use the Make badge of Toyobaruion.

just rims & coilovers (gotta fix dat wheel gap). Probably intake/exhaust. Simple shit.

then later on down the line I would consider getting crazy with it.

Probably stock for several years. Maybe some TRD stuff. I'm waiting a year to buy though.

Honestly, I enjoy my 135 horsepower 2700lb 88 prelude, the stock car is probably enough for me. Maybe minor suspension mods for better turnin(prelude is fantastic there). But that's it.

I'll probably wistfully yearn after FI(or more power in general) anyway though.

TRD Parts, Definitely! Or wait till the FR-S Release Series comes out, depending on what they offer in it

I'll probably tint the windows first, followed by rims/suspensions afterwards.

This.

Get out of my head.

I was wondering why the 2012 TC has the race inspired steering wheel and how come toyota didn't opt to put the flat bottom steering wheel in the FR-S

Subie · 04-15-2012, 03:02 PM

Anything I do to my BRZ will be in what I consider to be "good taste" and with the intention of keeping the factory warranty intact. I will almost certainly have the windows tinted, I may change the shift knob or perform other minor tweaks, but overall the car will remain mostly as it came from the factory.

silverf4turbo · 04-15-2012, 03:17 PM

Really no TRA widebody kit plans on a car that isn't even out yet :P

I'd be all about heavy modification if I didn't already have a modified car with not great gas mileage

I'm hoping Prodrive makes springs, I definitely don't want to get into messing with suspension dynamics too much on a car that already has great handling. Springs + stock struts don't always fly. Dat wheel gap though...

Tyler · 04-15-2012, 03:35 PM

Im going to leave it stock unless there is brake fading problems

Exhaust · 04-15-2012, 04:12 PM

The more i stare at the rear end of the eight-six, the less i want to modify it. I like the nur spec but hate the wing. If we could get a GSR or Supra styled wing, id mod the exterior. Other than that i definitely want new wheels. Performance will come slowly, S/C being the final thing. As a previous poster said, fight it all you want, but this car is not supposed to stay stock. Only the true 'purists' will keep it that way.

Duff_man · 04-15-2012, 05:25 PM

Flat black vinyl wrap...because all the cool kids do it!

..just kidding,

Prolly tint windows, nice wheels/tires, coilovers, intake and exhaust.
But yea, gotta wait till I drive it!

Likely, if the stock brakes aren't enough, it'll just take a good set of pads.
