Cusco front and rear strut bars

whaap · 08-30-2012, 07:33 PM

I'll pretty much drive it the way it comes out of the box. The one thing I might give consideration to is the Katzkin leather interior.

Day 2 was Cusco Zero-A coilovers and MXP shift knob installed. the week after i installed my Bride Japan Carbon fiber bucket seats. Next month i will get my brake lines so i can install my sti calipers and PMU pads and rotors, also wheels come in next month and just ordered the tires and mxp exhaust will be in and chargespeed kit will be in. therefore need to get rid of my old wheels and tires from my old cars!!!

The first thing i would do would be wheels/tires. Wheels are the only single purchase that makes the largest difference in a vehicle's appearance, so you get more bang for your buck. Also, i'd likely go 5-10mm wider for tires and get some Star Specs.

1st mod I ever did was the NRG Quick Release Steering Wheel

Laika · 08-30-2012, 08:41 PM

Very good posts here (ladies and) gentleman!

Unfortunately the best one has not been mentioned. Assuming you bought the 6MT the first mod you should do to your car involves a 12mm wrench and getting upside down in the drivers side footwell

Boxer-86 · 08-30-2012, 08:49 PM

Tint, Visconti tune, winter tires for the stock wheels, Perrin pulley, and full exhaust to start out with.

so you marked your territory. I dont think anyone wants to buy your car if you ever decide to sell it.

After my great "experience" with crappy chipping paint on my tC, the first thing I plan on doing with my future FR-S is paint correction, opticoat, and maybe clear bra. After that, lighter wheels and performance mods (probably start with a tune). I think the stock suspension is going to be a-ok for me.
