How modified is your FR-S/BRZ/GT86?
I've been curious about this for a while.
The ratio of stock cars to modified ones. I've seen some really beautiful modified twins on the forum, but not all of them are to my taste. It's completely subjective, and it makes me wonder where the majority of these little cars will be in twenty years. About the time I start getting all revved up about aftermarket wheels and tails, a ruined Civic will pass me on the freeway with it's body kit flapping in the wind and I instantly appreciate my car again just the way it is. I'm sure that most of us fall somewhere between bone stock and Rocket Bunny. My own car is so lightly modified that I doubt anyone would even notice. I suspect that a bone stock Twin will be a rare sight in twenty years, especially after they've changed hands a few times and lost some value. Anyway. Thats it. I was just curious to see the numbers...

Mine has some minor mods to it. Injen intake, tein s-tech springs and invidia N1 cat back. I plan on doing some exterior mods like a tasteful wing and a glossy black vinyl on the roof, but that is all in the future.

Lightly modded consisting of:
Sharkfin Convex Mirror from group buy(shipped yesterday!) BRZ Auto dimming mirror (does that even count?) OFT TRD Drop in and CBE TRD Sway Set Rally Armors GS STB Nothing major, but now that I list it out, it's more than I thought. Only remaining things will eventually be a catted header and POSSIBLY OP/FP. I'm in the minority that doesn't mind the stock rims. Last edited by Optimus Prime; 05-28-2014 at 07:47 PM. |

I did not buy this car to keep bone stock. If I wanted bone stock I would have spent more money on a more expensive sports car (used cayman s to be exact).
I bought mine specifically to modify. Right now I am "Light cosmetic and performance modification" but will eventually be "Substantial cosmetic and performance modification" after I lower the car, either force induce or full exhaust and tune the car. Just playing the waiting game to see the aftermarket and tuning game mature a little since I am in no rush. I was in a rush for a while but since then bought a Gixxer 600 and now dont feel compelled to rush into performance mods on my car. |
