I feel a car that has a plethora of aftermarket parts is subject to change.
But it really depends what your plans are with it, if its a DD, an event car etc..
I specifically bought my FRS as a project.
As an artist, I like the car to carry the presence of it's owner through it's own individual aesthetics.
Couldn't help but start modding the car as soon as I got it.

You're telling me. The gap is pretty gross

The break gives you time to save up for parts though.

Honestly, I'm still under warranty and I've already modded a few things. Other than changing the shift knob and tinting the windows, I've already messed with the engine.

I installed a cold air intake and a new lightweight crank pulley....and i'm still under warranty! I've only had my car for about 4 months now.

Tinted windows only here. Going on 3 years of ownership.

Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me?

For the past 1.5yrs and for the next 3 or so, it is my DD, and autocross car. I keep it pretty much stock, because I need to not void my warranty and it to be reliable for dd usage.

When the day comes that it isn't my only car, I'll start going nuts but fir now I'm happy with a few little upgrades and a pretty much stock car.

Haven't done anything to mine. I will tint it and maybe do an exhaust because it currently sounds like shit. I'm not a big on modding. All my other cars have remained pretty much stock also. When I had my FI cars I would tune them, easy power, but thats about it.

Anytime, any place, any weather. Ask any racer, any real racer. It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile; winning's winning.

I was thinking the same setup too, but a guy told me that Borla UEL headers have been known to crack. I didn't look much into but he recommended this other brand that I need to ask him about again. Invidia n1 exhaust set up sounds the best from what I've heard so far, but Perrin is my second favorite.

Yeah but a real racer doesn't go around waving his penis.

Ultramaroon · 12-13-2014, 10:16 PM
