Hey guys, I'm someone who has a close friend that's interested in obtaining and modifying a FD for both daily and sports use after he migrates over when he's ready to move (he's 4 years away from that), and I'll like to get it for him, so I hope people can guide me in modifying the car when it's the right time.

Get ready to open your pockets.
A bone stock FD that runs and drives like it should is a fkn blast to drive. No need for LED lights, body kits and single turbo kits. Just drive it.
The old story goes:
Two guys have $2000 to spend on their cars. One guy buys a turbo kit and doubles his horsepower while the other guy spends his money at Skip Barber Racing School. Guess which one turned faster laps when all was said and done?

Ah, I see what you mean, thanks for the advice. Though my plan was to change some stuff (modifying the turbo control system to a parallel system, better brakes and switching the steering system to rack-and-pinion) so that the car would have better overall performance, no kits included lol.
Leave the stock sequential system alone, unless it has issues--- in which case, fix them. parallel/non-sequential just gives turbo lag and is not recommended.
OEM FD brakes are pretty damn good and more than sufficient for the street. If you're looking for a sharp looking BBK with flashy calipers etc check out the Wilwood setup Sakebomb Garage offers.
Again, the OEM steering rack works very well for a street car.
If anything, a stock-ish FD can benefit from an aluminum radiator, downpipe, air intake, catback, aluminum or deleted AST, and a different steering wheel--- this all IMO of course.
Happy searching
