FA20club turbo kit and tune.

djmm · 08-27-2014, 10:11 AM

I'm more conservative in terms of modifying cars.
But say I won a prize for being able to modify my car for up to $5K total, I'd probably get:
- Sound deadening door panels
- New Satnav head unit
- New set of wheels

ZionsWrath · 08-27-2014, 10:23 AM

I hate to look over what I spent on my car but I guess I've spent 5k on it now lol

AP sprint kit with Stainless brake lines, Track and street pads
Track wheels/tires
Alignment gear (Racesang Cascams front/SPL rear LCA)

Although expensive up front I consider these kind of bang for buck mods. Hear me out

Track brake kit will reduce wear cost because 1 track only pads, 2 BBK make track pads wear less, 3 if i ran a street pad at track it would wear real fast
Wheels/tires, kind of same as brakes, don't have to compromise and run a tire I may overheat and chunk or something, plus if I get a flat on the street it won't ruin my track day
Alignment, I guess self explanatory. Alignment is a very key aspect in tracking even more so than buying coilovers IMO

But I guess I typed all this assuming you want to track your car. If not then I wasted my time ^_^

SACHS Coilovers [$2k normally, but quite a bit more affordable when you work for them

]
17x9 RPF1s w/ good rubber for track days [another $2k]
Project MU Club Racer pads for track days [$400]
Berk single exit track pipe [$135, or around $80 used]
and spend the rest on track time.

(This is pretty much my plan anyways lol)

Supercharger.

Since it would be my only mod to start with, the boost and tune would be mild only putting around 250hp to the wheels.

Then as funds come in add more mods.

DarkSunrise · 08-27-2014, 11:26 AM

Budget $5k build:

$1600 - TC105N 17x8
$400 - Federal 595RSR 235/40/17
$100 - camber bolts + rear diff inserts
$300 - Ferodo ds2500 pads + ATE200 fluid
$900 - JDL UEL header
$500 - OP + FP
$600 - Perrin oil cooler
$500 - OFT
-------
$4900

Then track days.

Dadhawk · 08-27-2014, 11:58 AM

I'd seriously consider putting it towards a supercharger on the FR-S but more than likely I'd put it in my C7 Corvette fund for when I buy the FR-S a garage buddy.

If you gave me 5k right now, I'd get a Stage 1 tune, new clutch and brakes, and 4 new sets of oem tires.

Also been eyeing a tomei 60s.

Also I'd replace my windshield glass which is chipped up.

Havsie · 08-28-2014, 12:10 AM

I'd leave my car alone and buy 5000 dollars worth of hamburgers
