thats what i do for a living... trust me its ANY car lol. to be honest, this car has been quite forgiving with modding. havent had ONE issue with it except a SINGLE problem since buying it 30k miles ago (got it with like 5k on it). my a/c evaporator core got a tiny pinhole in it, literally thats it though. it has about every bolt on on it, tune, etc. the next thing i can do is turbo and IC upgrades. everything else is on it
originally since its my DD, i wasnt going to do much to it. but once i drove the newer 08+ car, i fell in love with it. i have had a few evo 8s and 9s for DD's in the past, and loved them. but this GR makes a joke out of them in MANY ways. its just so much more of a car, so much more to it... the c.diff, the drivetrain is what impressed me most. i think im going to put a blouch dominator 2.5 on it w/ the 8cm housing, just to get it some more power. id be happy a little bit under 400 whp, thats the goal now i suppose. wrapping or painting the whole car, and my CF stuff comes first now though
well i like it :tup:
Welcome. Any future build plans?
thanks
yeah, i guess just read above hehe
blouch dominator 2.5, obviously the supporting things- injectors, fuel pump, new tune... then either an ETC TMIC or a Perrin FMIC. not much else left to do to it bolt-on wise, and i dont want to go as far as a rotated kit... just a DD i mess around with and autocross on occasion for fun. right now its got (basics):
