Your Car's Current (Final?) Form

[GraysonGreene]

Had it for over a year and a half now. Hoping to get mine to "final" form by the end of next month. After that, time to start saving for a 2023/2024 GR86.

Current Mods:
- Tomei UEL Catless Headers
- Greddy Revolution RS 3" Catback Single Exit (w/ Varex Variable Muffler welded inline where the stock muffler goes)
- OFT Stage 2+ Non-E85 Tune (since there's no E85 near me )
- VLAND Sequential Headlights
- Valenti Smoked Sequential Taillights
- GCS Corner Lights and 4th Brake Light
- TRD Lowering Springs
- Vors TR4 18x8.5 +35 (w/ 12mm pass through spacers) I love the high concavity for a more narrow wheel
- Extended Studs all around (since I snapped the other ones)
- General GMax RS Tires 225/18/40
- Other small odds/ends (Shift knob/sound tube delete/etc.)

Sitting on the Shelf to Be Installed:
- Tein Flex A's
- Whiteline Front End Links
- SPC Rear LCAs
- OBD II Extender to mount my OFT tablet somewhere

It'll never be done, but for now it's at a point where it can perform the job it was designed to do without any issues. Oil cooler, suspension, brakes, wheels + tires, seat.

Mine is in its near final form. In the future i plan to convert to a track only car, strip the inside and keep it NA. Get a tow rig for daily and just enjoy her on track as much as I can. Important mods are in signature. I want to add a Verus wing, front splitter and I still need to install track-spec hood vents.

But Here it is in its natural habitat making newbies nervous in cars with more than twice the WHP

Mechanical:
18x8 TSW Interlagos, +45 offset, Michelin Pilot Super Sports 225/40/R18
STI Pink springs
STI axle back exhaust
Mishimoto silicon inlet tube

Cosmetic:
Cusco “bee stinger” antenna
Modellista red engine cover
STI oil cap
STI battery tie down
Red steering wheel badge overlay
“Subaru” and “BRZ” lettering removed, (debadged)

I might get a 2nd gen down the track or keep this and get a turbo hot hatch as I’ve never owned anything like that before. Either way I’ll be keeping my current gen for a while yet. I’m pretty attached to it, I’d find it hard trading it in or selling it, a bit torn about it actually.

Well I thought this was the car’s final form lol. But since writing the above post I’ve added a Mishimoto silicon inlet tube and debadged the rear. I’ve updated my original post reflecting the changes.

After driving the second gen, I’ve decided to keep my first gen car. I guess it will be my “forever” car, which I will slowly add high quality parts to over time.

Perhaps I should start a build thread?

I will have to say mine is probably final form. More because I have a new car to throw money at.

[NARFALICIOUS]

My car has been in its same form for a while, but I've never considered it final. Mostly been distracted financially and time-wise with other car projects. And my want list is too high that I would never have it in my final form, since all the mods I want cost more and more.

Currently: Oceanic Blue 2016 FR-S, Grimmspeed intake, JDL UEL Header, PLM Overpipe, HKS Super Catalyzer Front Pipe, Buddy Club Titanium Single Exit, TRD pads, TRD springs, Circuit White TC105N 17x9 245/40R17.

Want: 17+ Tail Lights, 17x8s (RPF1?) for daily, lightweight battery, Fortune Auto Coilovers or CSG Tein Flex A, Big Brake Kit, carbon driveshaft, deciding on either a Turbo Kit or a K-Swap, Marsh dry carbon hood, Marsh dry carbon trunk, Marsh dry carbon roof

At the rate I am going the Hakone's final form will be exactly how it rolled off the assembly line.

I wish. That is the inspection light booth at my dealer's detail facility.

My cars are free range!

Lol. I thought it looked pretty fancy, the checkered floor and all, I’ve just got a carport at my place. Being in Australia we don’t get snow though.

Don't even have room for a carport I am afraid.

Added a shark fin and a front splitter since this photo but yeah, done. No more money in this car....
