Light mods.

I did TRD accessories (sways, exhaust, shift knob) and slightly more aggressive wheels and tires (17x8, 225/45-17).

I'm all about the rice too.. rice rice babay

But yeah light mod, might boost later if works turbo kit is made with a BOV that vents to atmosphere to make them sweet sweet sound 😤

Daily driver (FRS) gets nothing. Car still has original dirt.
Project car, anything goe$. Full custom chassis and engine swaps.

Started out life as a daily driver and thus light mods, but evolved into heavy mods and a built plan that was essentially "stock+." I don't want anything overly outrageous in terms of ride comfort, volume (need to fix this, actually), or super flashy looks, but rather more of a build aimed at if there was an upgraded stock version. Similar to the difference between a 911 and a 911 GTS or 911 GT3 or something.

Is there a medium? I've done a lot of cosmetic changes "phases" of this car and now only the biggest performance thing I have is headers and a tune

Antihero983 · 09-26-2016, 10:16 PM

Function over fashion, always.

Yal · 09-26-2016, 10:36 PM

I'm light/cosmetic mods. I'm obsessive (mostly) about the car looking good and getting the best mileage possible.

Celica00 · 09-26-2016, 10:43 PM

I'm leaning more towards heavy mod. I have to make all the necessary performance mods first and foremost to "back up" whatever cosmetic changes I'd make.

brz11b · 09-26-2016, 10:49 PM

a poser and a guy who thinks his car looks the way it does when he's dreaming. A guy with huge plans and dollar menu money. Mentally i would say heavy mods. financially i would say light mods.

VirginiaBRZ · 09-26-2016, 11:02 PM

For now? Light mods.

But I plan to drift this car and if I get addicted to it? Heavy and big money pit, no regrets though!

mrg666 · 09-27-2016, 09:38 PM

Only light mods: K&N filter, all LED's, diode dynamics stop/signal, backup camera, shark-fin antenna, JDM exhaust tip, JDM side markers, shifter knob.

I will do JRSC next. I don't care about header, catback, springs, or body kits.

PetrolioBenzina · 09-27-2016, 10:47 PM

Go fast, look stock.

Zaku · 09-27-2016, 11:19 PM

The fact that I bought this car new, which nice never some ice always bought used cars and fixed things up. And the fact that most of my local community 87 drivers warned me not to do anything till after my warranty.

I'm probably only putting factory parts and then go all out later.

Sapphireho · 09-28-2016, 01:42 AM

I would say light mods,
Interior: rear seat delete

Exterior: tires and rims

Performance:
JRSC with oil cooler
Breaks
CF Driveshaft
TRD sway bars,springs
TRD Catback
TRD. Short shift

On Oct. 11 it goes in for:
Fuel injectors
Fuel pump
Clutch kit
Flex fuel kit
Tune by Bill of delicious tuning.

I have a TRD rear wing in the box, but haven't had the heart to cut up the hood. It looks so good without it.
