Favorite/Best non-performance "feeling" mods?

[StraightOuttaCanadaEh]

Updated Perrin engine mounts. Car is a hoot to redline now

[Kiske]

Rexpeed wide angle, heated side mirror replacements. No more blindspots.

Any of the newer models interior upgrade parts. It little but, the suede and leather bits really do make the inside feel less spartan.

Mtec shifter spring. $20 and the stock shifter feels much tighter with less slop.

Fumoto Drain Valve. No more bolt removal!

Does engine mounts make a big difference?

Welcome to come for a ride in my car since we’re both in Toronto if that’ll help

Wishlist includes a bunch of other bushings.

YYYEESSSS to the fumoto oil drain valve. What a great quality-of-life mod!

Just got the car about a week ago and window tint is definitely on top of my list. Any bushings on any car also improves ride quality, and upgraded fluids all around.

Tein EDFC Active Pro.
Being able to have active suspension on my tS is really cool. Full comfort until it gets twisty, then the dampers start to do their magic.

For the track guys:
IRP Short Shifter V3. I tell people it is the best thing I have done to the car all the time. Followed closely by getting my coilovers custom valved.

Mine include:
ATC steering wheel
Delrin shift knob
Wide-angle mirrors
Black interior bits
Fumoto oil drain valve (not really a "feel" thing, but its great)

I love my delrin knob, so much feedback.

Can you elaborate on the ATC/J-Luth wheel? I’ve been considering it instead of a steering wheel spacer but the price is kinda high and I’m not a huge fan of the glossy carbon.

I actually got mine used from here a few years ago. I love it. As you know, its a tiny bit smaller in diameter and the offset is 20mm closer to the driver. I got it because it prevents my hands from hitting my legs while turning, but it also had to retain the airbag since it's a daily driver. I'm 6'1" and my legs are somewhat long, so when my legs were comfortable, my upper body is pretty far from the wheel. And when my upper body was in a good spot, my legs are a bit bunched up. The offset helped me extend my legs a bit while having the wheel closer to me. I could have lived with it how it was, but this seemed like a good solution at the time.

When I bought it, I didn't know why I didn't see more of them. Turns out I got a really good deal on it. I didn't realize they are so expensive! The 949 Racing spacer looks like it will also help the same issue. If it was around at the time, I probably would have tried that first since it's significantly cheaper. I'm almost tempted to try it together with the ATC and see what that's like.

I didn't love the carbon at first either. I tried plastidipping it after I got it, but with as much hand=-traffic as the wheel sees, it started peeing rather quickly. I couldn't bring myself to paint it, so I've just learned to like the carbon.

Someone complained about the motors being noisy.

Do you really hear the motors in action?

Thanks

The shifter knob is the first thing I change in any car I own. It might not do anything for "performance", but there's nothing like the tactile feel of a perfectly round cue ball shifter in the palm of my hand.

- lowered clutch pedal height to around brake pedal level, makes it easier to modulate

- DAMD steering wheel - thicker and smaller diameter than stock, deeper grooves; much nicer to hold and operate. The most expensive item on this list, but transforms the driving experience the most. It's the one item on your car that you touch 100% of the time when you're driving.


- Killer B Motorsport WRC knob & extension - I think shift knobs are a personal preference thing. I like lighter and taller knobs; more leverage makes it easier to shift for me and the lighter weight makes it feel more notchy and mechanical. However, longer knobs will make the throw feel slightly longer.


- SRP wide gas pedal, much easier to heel-toe


- TRD front strut tower brace - pricier item, but I got a good deal locally. Nose feels sharper/more immediate on turn-in, and going over bumps feels more refined.


- TRD door stabilizers - similar effect to the strut tower brace. Car just feel more solid while cornering and added a bit more to the refinement over bumps.
