LIES! I demand to see a 1500 lbs NC; PICS NAO!

LOL, oops, I meant 100 lbs. Mistyped that

I have NB, not NC. NC is not a proper sports car in my book.

I'm hoping for a good programmable ecu and supercharger. no lag

RegisBou · 11-15-2009, 09:19 PM

I don't know if I need mods yet. It usually takes me a good month to be in tune with a car.

I have never owned a RWD daily driver so I will take my time but as far as the first thing on my list I will get lightweight/wider rims and stickier tires.

Then sway bars, drop (1"-1.5"), exhaust (head back), will keep stock intake until ITB's paired with a proper intake box come out (if proven to make power).

That's about it. Maybe a short throw shifter?

YourFearlessLeader · 11-20-2009, 01:25 PM

first mod, is a small snail, exedy clutch, short shifter and some gauges :-)

S2KtoFT86 · 11-20-2009, 02:03 PM

Gauges for what?

YourFearlessLeader · 11-20-2009, 04:08 PM

boost, AFR, oil pressure

S2KtoFT86 · 11-20-2009, 04:22 PM

Roger that. Didn't see you mention you were gonna turbo yours. Cool.

YourFearlessLeader · 11-20-2009, 05:34 PM

LOL, snail through you off?

S2KtoFT86 · 11-20-2009, 06:25 PM

Lol na, just must've missed it in another thread somewhere if you mentioned it, or you might not have mentioned it at all.

functioninspire · 11-20-2009, 06:38 PM

tint, ss brake lines, ceramic pads, different brake fluid, ... if N/A, then maybe I/H/E of some sort, carputer.

GT · 11-20-2009, 10:26 PM

Like everyone else I want to see what the specs on the car will be.

WingsofWar · 12-17-2009, 02:56 AM

only a performance mods i can think of that i definitely would do would be exhaust and intake, because im sure US regulations would want to see some restrictions on its breathing, regardless of performance or TRD trim models to be released. Coilovers for that extra control in height and dampening and some decent wheels.

Access port is another item on the list as im sure COBB or some other 3rd party would gladly man handle the ECU.

huddleston · 12-22-2009, 11:36 PM

sadly enough, i have basically the same approach to all of the cars i have modified. my solara and my SC have basically had the same modifications and in the same order.

1. tint - 5% all around and 15% on the windshield - i know its illegal and guys say its dangerous. i get that on other forums as well. blah blah.....
2. suspension - most likely a strut spring combo - tokico/trd
3. BBK - revolution brake out of ashton, oregon is great for custom kits.
4. exhaust
5. lighting - upgrade highbeams, reverse lights and license plate lights. hopefully the lowbeams will remain HIDs.
6. performance mods - we'll see whats out there.
