So i say mod the 86.
I'm not planning any engine breaking mods, at least. Just a full exhaust, flex fuel, and a tune. I'd probably let a shop do most of it just to be extra safe. A buddy of mine can help get the front pipe and back handled easily, but everything in front of that I'd rather save myself the headache.

I'm planning mostly aesthetic. Exhaust, gt-r spoiler, coilovers, bbk, wheels. I've always wanted to do a bbk on a car...

I've decided on baers specifically because they use a gm pad that is available at most auto parts stores in a variety of compounds.

desire to know more intensifies.


I got a friend with a '19 WRX and I'm frankly trying to prevent him from throwing parts at it instantly and telling him to just enjoy the car and learn it

all the while i upload my parts list to wheelwell and instagram and don't listen to my own advice

Baer seems more show than go... or stop. Which is cool if that's what you want. Are you even tracking, bro?

Looks good but needs more shag and fake fur. You do have Maltese cross windows to install yet right?

It totally needs more shag!!! I should get a shag area rug thats the same color as the trim an door panels.

I couldnt find the material I wanted. (1/2" x 3.5" x 10' beaded T&G) So I bought ceder bender boards. They are rough sawn garden bed trim boards. I sanded them for hours. I think they came out nice. They sure were cheaper!
