Hm... not much for me. I spent about 4k on Tein SRCs... That's the first mod I had.

For about 1k... I'd get some sticky tires with some change.

what if you had a million dollars?

brzee_vic · 05-13-2014, 08:24 AM

Mine is boring, I would use the money lower the principal of the auto loan.

I respect that way more than people who have debt and modify their cars. Paying it off is more important than having a flashy car

kevman_101 · 05-13-2014, 09:12 AM

OFH + OFT
Brake pads and fluid change
Snell approved helmet
Racing shoes
Track time

Kill the stock tires then get more tires.

A Pair of High Class Hookers...

m.wood0213 · 05-13-2014, 11:21 AM

ST coilovers
FT86SF UEL Catted headers
P&L Catted OP / FP
OFT

Done.

I've already spent 6 grand on my BRZ, and not one of those parts are installed... Yet.

Looking at the parts just sitting there, gets yah thinking about what you "could have done" with the money.

I thouroughly enjoy the BRZ in stock form. Its by no means a beast straight line and you won't be winning any drag races, but its just so fun to drive and the car lets you feel every input you give it.

I think probably the best way to spend 5g on this car, is spending 2gs or so on a skip barber course. Learning to drive the car in stock form at 10/10ths is probably the most rewarding thing i can think of.

This most definitely. Anything left over would go straight to reliability mods: vented hood, radiator shroud upgrade, radiator, oil cooler, better pads, RBF600 brake fluid, Motul Gear 300 oil for diff and trans (if MT), and Motul 300v 0W-20 for the engine.
