Help me customize

[Mr.ac]

5k extra eh?
Buy a second set of wheels and sticky tires, better brake pads, a snell approved helmet.
Maybe an exhaust and a high flow air filter.
Use the rest for auto x and track days.

If anyone can tell me what I should use the $5,000 for that would help me out a lot!

More details please.

Doesn't have to be purchased new, just still has to be under the 36,000 mile warranty and the warranty coverage was adjusted because of the Edelbrock installation. No mention that it you have to be the original owner in the agreement.

OP :This gets my vote. But then you'll need better tires. Then you'll need experience driving the beast. Maybe you need 10K.

Tires.

Thanks for all the help you guys! I'll for sure take the advice on getting to know the car! I'm pretty busy with school and other things so i won't be able to check this thread that often but thanks again for all the replies! I also own the car and don't make payments so i do have the rest of the cash to spend freely.

Looking at these posts it seems the big thing is tires. Hit me up with some tires! Again I don't know about parts and brands so advice would be great!

Why not drive for a while and change whatever you want to upgrade

Well, Odsil, I reckon that depends on what kind of driving you want different tires for.

* touring ..?

* auto X .. ?

* track ..?

* general going around corners faster ..?

Unless you plan on doing any of the above, and since you live in Florida (no ice/snow), I feel that the tires that on your car would be just fine .....

+1 on this, well done!

Take a second to read through our blog post about the 6 Mods to Get the Most out of Your FRS/BRZ.

It gives a great description of what FRS/BRZ products we see most from our customers and research and why!

Definitely a good read for someone looking to mod their 86

Feel free to drop me a PM or email and I would be happy to help!
