one mod and one mod only - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I don't plan on taking the car to race track (not yet at least), definitely no street racing, and only drift/do donuts for fun in an open parking lot..

So if there was only one mod I should get that I can actually feel for a better performance/experience for regular driving (and occasional spirited driving), what should it be?

I have a flossy shift knob and I think that might definitely have to be on the list.

crank pulley or wheels

I'd say tires but then again that's not really a mod (since they'll have to get changed anyways) so you might as well change the tires and still have that one mod in mind

I'd say either exhaust or if you are looking for <$300 get an Injen Intake. When you are normally driving it sounds about the same but when you get on it that thing is LOUD (in a very good way).

exhaust...the sound alone changes the whole feeling of driving...

Pulley, fairly cheap and a noticeable improvement. I also like my intake and the added sound but the pulley is the best bang for the buck IMO.

It depends on what kind of mod you're looking for. What are you least satisfied with, or what about the car stands out that needs a change or improvement to you?

Clutch pedal adjustment. I just did it, and it's a world of difference.

Lol at crank pulley... Coilovers if you could only do one mod.

Trunk carpet "mod/flip" of course...

JoeBoxer · 10-22-2012, 12:32 AM

Tune no doubt

I tend to leave items like pulleys oem, for peace of mind, as for driving experience, clutch mod is the best thing you can do for this car, if i had to spend money i would buy the whiteline bushing for the transmission, seems to be a cheap effective item.

#1 mod to do is replace the flex capacitor or change the tachometer fluid. instant 100hp gain
