Heavy Mods while looking stock. Main goal is to leave all the other factory high performers in tears

guybo · 06-28-2016, 10:44 PM

Light mods. If i had the money, I'd go for heavy mods and screw the powertrain warranty.... but I don't so I am making the car better for me within those constraints, but not modded as much as I'd like.

One day once the warranty has expired and I have the cash saved up, this thing is getting a turbo. Then I'll change my vote to heavily modified.

weederr33 · 06-28-2016, 11:35 PM

I voted heavy mods as I have forced induction plus full exhaust and so on. haha plus I have a little something extra on the way to be the cherry on top of my build.

johl · 06-28-2016, 11:47 PM

I voted for light mods.

I just want to add to the characteristics of this car from the factory not completely change it. that being said it is easy to get carried away so I will have to draw the line in the sand at some stage.... hopefully

Light mods to start out with but I am dead set on making my ride unique in anyway I can!

Nails · 06-29-2016, 12:15 AM

Light mods. I don't plan on any performance related changes to the car beyond perhaps a better air filter once the original one is due for replacement. The upgrades I have planned are mainly cosmetic. The car already has window tint and OEM mud guards. I'm also looking at adding the European armrest, clear side markers, a Homelink mirror, switchback front turn signal LEDs, the BRZ trunk liner and the OEM Audio Reference system.

oooh ...

I got a different shift knob.

86geek · 06-29-2016, 02:19 PM

Light mods for me. Started with getting Opti-coat Pro & Tints. Then a Apexi Drop In Filter, Diode Dynamics LED bulbs for reverse lights, DRL, trunk, license plate and dome as well. Raceseng shift knob and just had Perrin 2.5 cat back exhaust installed a few weeks ago. Tail lights & rims & tires next year after my new car warranty expires.

Tcoat · 06-29-2016, 02:25 PM

Sooooo
I bought my car brand new, from the dealer, with lowering springs, TRD catback and drop in, tint, spoiler, clear bra and sway bars already on it and all covered by warrenty.
Is it modded or stock?

Anything not listed on the original MSRP that is now on the car is a mod.

AdrianSaldana · 06-29-2016, 05:51 PM

voted for heavy mods since that is my goal but taking it slow lol

new2subaru · 06-29-2016, 06:10 PM

Light

Headers, Tune and losing weight game.

xFury · 06-29-2016, 06:12 PM

I'm hoping to keep it for a while. But only cosmetic for now since I got that warranty thing and gonna do performance mods once all the warranty expires, just cause and it gives me time to save too lol. Since I wanna get the engine rebuilt to handle boost and get a top notch FI kit for it and make sure I get it done correctly and properly the first time.

shiumai · 06-29-2016, 06:15 PM

I really think the categories need to be light, medium and heavy mods. even with FI, i still consider my car to be 'medium', vs. someone with FI and wide body kit, paint job etc.
