What Would You Do With 10 Grand ? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

JPxM0Dz · 12-05-2012, 05:04 PM

Hey all! Recently parted with my Ralliart and have some extra modding cash to play with for Christmas

I'd like to see and hear your personal thoughts or recommendations for mods if it were your FR-S/BRZ

I have a few mods in mind, but have not settled on any particular upgrade or brand at the moment. Vendors need not apply - Looking for end user opinions for the time being.

Some of the things I'm concidering and have yet to upgrade are...

Updated!

. Wheels/Rubber - Got WORKS 18" Emotion XD9's in Bronze & Hankook Ventus V12 EVO
. Coilovers - Coming Soon! Fortune Auto 510 Series Coilover 4th Gen w/Swift Spring and Roller Bearing Upgrades
. Turbo or Supercharger ?
. Bodykit ?
. Other etc.

Thanks for your ideas and recommendations!

Current Mods: I already have Tune, Header back exhaust & intake

Street Use Only!

$10,000? That's almost enough for the TRD brake kit!

Edit: But honestly, I'm pretty rice in that I don't all that much about improving performance. I'll probably get a body kit, some nice wheels and rims, and drop the car on some nice coilovers. Although Canadian winters aren't that friendly for low cars.

LOL yeah I bet! I realize 10K is not alot of cash when looking at particular mods. I was more or less looking people's input if it were their cash and what they would upgrade first

I hear ya on the Canadian winters. Mine is parked for winter and always will be, so not an issue

KW Coilovers, Wheels & Tires in that order.

JoeBoxer · 12-05-2012, 05:10 PM

Buy 2 Innovate supercharger kits, ya know because i need one too.
In all reality i would put half of it back and get a nice set of wheels and tires, GC Street suspension and wait on FI reviews from members, not tuning shops.

What are your plans for the car? Show? Track? DD?
I think once you decide what you want to use the car for, it'll be easier to make decisions on what will be most useful for you.
