Which car mods would you not be without?

[pfaffendorn]

Let's see, my mods tend to be minor and mostly related to cabin comfort . . . but:

1. Upgraded tires
2. Good quality speakers all around
3. Wide-angle rear view mirrors
4. Rear view camera with powerful white LEDs in the rear turn signal housings for backing
5. Does glass-coat paint protection count as a mod?

I call these the can't-live-without modifications. There are other things I've changed or installed, but these five are the ones I say, "God, driving is so much (easier/safer/more fun) with these changes" every time I get in the car. I still long for a moonroof or a targa panel. You think I could do it with a can opener?

You know what they say about "Empty vessels making the most noise". Besides if cars in general were noisy you would most likely be saying "I hate noisy cars".

Must haves are limited, after all as a DD the car is just about perfect.

What I think should be included by default in ALL twins: (Or all new cars for that matter)

Safety Upgrades:

1. Auto dimming rear view mirror.
2. Heated side mirrors.
3. Actual Rear FOG lights
4. Yellow side markers should blink when indicating. (USA issue)
5. Hands free phone as standard.

So what abut nice to haves....

Performance Upgrades:

None, I like how it drives, do not have an issue with the torque curve. I am not stupid enough to go above 8/10 on the public roads. If I do race it will be on a track where I am more interested in handling over straight line acceleration. If a Camry wants to beat me to the next set of traffic lights, go for it, I will meet you there in a few seconds.

Style Upgrades:

1. Clear side markers.
2. Front and side lips.
3. Window tinting.
4. Lowered 1 to 1 1/2 inch (25-37 mm in the 21st century) with the proviso the handling and ride remain about the same.

Looking back, I should have considered the BRZ more. I pretty much decided Toyota for the front fascia and my belief that this was Toyoda's brain-child, so it deserved to be bought as a Toyota (or Scion in my case, but same thing)

While they are cool and easy, you can save the money if you learn how to properly set your stock mirrors. I have no issue seeing behind me (no blindspots) with the stock mirrors.

? I had no trouble seeing behind me with the stock mirrors, it was more about seeing to my side, the 7 oclock position. Have you tried convex mirrors? They make a big difference over stock.

You are now on a one month suspension from Team Lava.

I should've just left my car turbo + wheels + exhaust.




Why the fuck did I go widebody and wing.




Nobody was there to be my voice of reason when I did it.




I blame you all.

In decreasing order of necessity.

- Decent Window Tint - I live along the Texas Mexico border and summers get ... warm. I use 3M Crystaline - expensive, but effective.

- Convex stick on side mirrors

- Raceseng Topology Shift Knob/RLO slider

- SRP accelerator pedal

- Diode Dynamics Smart Tap Flasher Relay

- Unbearably bright turn signal LEDs

Could be one or a few.

Myself I wouldn’t be without the UEL header, open flash tune (modified) and Perrin 3” intake.

Car is much more responsive and enjoyable now with the torque dip practically gone as well. Would never go back to stock, the car is not enjoyable with the torque dip..

Can I ask what your OFT tune was?

-New Tires/Rims
