What is the first thing you're doing to your car in spring - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

cjd · 02-27-2015, 11:25 PM

Wash and wax, oil change (I'm just over 5000 miles...), new pads, brake fluid, Sprint kit install, headerback install, tune, a bunch of bushings/inserts,
rear LCA's and full coilovers (assuming they get here before I get the car out for spring), alignment... Uhh... Swap into summer tires once temps stabilize above 40... I feel like I'm forgetting something...

Looking forward to this summer.

Bought the car in Oct '14. Stored in Dec, only 2000km. Ready for it's 6mth checkup(Apr).
Opticoat.
I'm keeping it stock for a few yrs. Then lip, skirt, rear diffuser, catted UEL(FTspeedfactory), Lachute catback, coilover, tune, drop in filter & God knows what else.

1.) Mounting these on the car instead of my 16'' nasty steelies.

2.) When I have the tires off finally get around to installing my OEM muldflaps.

3.) Maybe some license plate LEDs.

4.) Weekly washes/rinses on Saturday mornings because that is my happy time.

Install Xxr 530's summer tires and SBD turbo kit

Ursam · 02-28-2015, 06:47 PM

Backup camera for me. The lack of visibility out the back of this car is just asking for trouble.

Delicious tuning flex fuel kit. FT86SpeedFactory flex fuel tune. Probably new brakes depending on how the first few AutoX go.

With this weather in Ohio I'm ready for the warmth so my car can come back out of the garage.

CatDaddysBBQ · 03-03-2015, 11:47 PM

I've got a little stash of updates...

Stop tech pads all around with new fluid and braided lines,
Camber bolts and a set of light team Dynamics Pro Race 1.0 wrapped in some MPSS

Didn't even realize I didn't answer this question. My bad!

I chose the ARK DT-S simply for the sound it makes and of course, I would be lying if I said that I didn't buy this because not so many people have it. I like that exclusivity about it. The price though, I got a great deal on it, so I went for it. Otherwise, the price for it is pretty steep considering you can get others for much less. But I digress.

Greddy though makes some quality exhausts for our cars and if I hadn't gotten the ARK, I would have bought the EVO GT that just came out.

New summer tires, front camber bolts, camber bushings for the rear and steering rack bushings.

dodj · 03-06-2015, 09:24 AM

First thing? Take off my winter tires.
Second. Wash
Third. Detail
That should kill a day.

And then there's the Challenger. Another day.

Then it will rain.

meeskee2 · 03-06-2015, 09:59 AM

Wash, wax and a thorough interior cleaning. I should have bought Weathertech mats like I was planning at the beginning of the winter. I couldn't keep up this year, my driver side mat is BEAT. haha

As far as any mods, I want to just wrap some interior trim and maybe but in a short shifter.

SWPinATL · 03-06-2015, 02:16 PM

If next weekend is considered "spring" then I will be installing a new set of PSS, Project MU HC+800 pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, Perrin drop in filter, Grimspeed MCB, and an STI front lip. Also will be giving it a long overdue bath!

Then going to the track the following weekend!

MikeM7 · 03-06-2015, 03:02 PM

Got OFH and Perrin 2.5 catback sitting around waiting to be installed, along with clear side markers and led fog bulbs. I'll probably get it title and registered first though.. probably.
