New here
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 :icon_tup: |
Cool, thanks for the info
