Which car mods would you not be without?

I get it, convex mirrors allow you to see everything easily. But if you take stock mirrors and adjust them correctly (i.e. angle them out so the view in them is a continuation of your middle rear-view mirror) all blind spots are erased. Most people have the habit of adjusting them so they can see the side of their car, which has been deemed unnecessary - why do you need to see where the side of your car is? It will always be there..

Not saying anything is wrong with convex mirrors. Just pointing out that for someone who is looking for worthwhile mods, the same end objective can be accomplished for free.

Ehh, I think you're misunderstanding me. I'm not saying seeing the side of your car is important, not sure why you thought that, but moreso what is to your side, i.e. next to you. Again, have you tried convex side view mirrors? I understand th importanxe of properly adjusted mirrors, but you cannot accomplish what these mirrors do with your stock mirrors. Their shape expands your field of vision.

First tried the off the shelf tunes, but they wouldn’t disable the catalytic converter check, which threw a code. Then went looking for ways to get the code disabled as it was missing in my tune-files and found these.

The maf-scaling was rescaled though since I have a 3 inch intake with a forester/wrx MAF. I used a java program where you plot numbers from the log and it gives you estimates on how to correct for it.

Now running short term fuel trims at most in closed loop around +/- 2% which is a significant improvement from around +/- 8%

Long term is pretty much 0% !

Catback

None. After a fair amount of mods I can say that there are no mods that are absolutely essential on this car. I am only concerned about spoiling the car.

And, yes before somebody points that out, my car is supercharged. It is such a guilty pleasure mixed with anxiety of failure. I sometimes wish I have not done it, sometimes I love it. All that is because this is such a nice car.

absolutely tires. i straight up wouldn't like this car if i had to drive it exclusively on the stock tires.

O.o

Can you expand on why you sometimws wish you didn't SC it? What kit are you running?

[HeresMyMind]

good headlights (I am a headlight retrofitter), window tint and some sort of catback. I need a bit of noise :-D

JRSC kit. There has been no problem with the SC kit. Engine is working silky smooth and performance is fantastic. But these don't stop me from worrying about an engine failure since it is 50% beyond it's design. I waited 17K miles to decrease such a risk though. I am just being a little paranoid about my precious little car

Self Washing Feature.

So, coming from a heavily modified 02’ WRX I’m overjoyed with my 2017 BRZ Limited. I’m over loud exhausts, tuning stuff weird misuses and all the potential issues with Mods.

My WRX was a blast to drive, especially at WOT and 21psi of boost. This BRZ is a completely different animal and I freaking love it.

I will most likely change out the Head Unit as it is okay at best...honestly it’s a half assed attempt at best.

Mine is relatively stock but here is what I have done that I consider necessities for DD and weekend fun car duties:


The first two "mods" I did to my car were hood struts and a front strut tower brace. The strut tower brace was for ride quality and the hood struts were just because cars without them suck.


Planned:
- Lighter Wheels for better ride quality and performance
- Better tire compound since the stock ones are horrible.
- Potentially some more street oriented coilovers or spring/damper combo depending on how it behaves after new wheels.
- Oil cooler
- Upgraded brake fluid and pads.


That's about it for me. Maybe header/exhaust/tune but I don't consider it an absolute necessity.
