These 5 mods will help you get the best out of your BRZ/86/FRS. Whether you're building a track, drift or street car, you will need these 5 modifications!
Tyres!! A decent set of tyres even on the OEM rims makes a huge difference to the overall performance. Literally improves every aspect of the handling.
Shifter springs, heavy weighted shift knob, catback exhaust and an awesome sound system are my fav mods. I’m thinking about a header and tune, but damn they’re not cheap
Mtec shift springs, mtec clutch spring, filter plus elbow (premium suction kit), better muffler. Before even getting to these especially with warranties budget etc. Then finishing with your list you'll have a naturally friendly car to drive quickly. I also love the throttle pedal relocator for my big feat and a throttle controller is sketchy but makes the car feel so responsive even being a bit of a hack. Throttle body and power blocks once tuned. Chassis rigidity etc to go next level on a basic build whether it's trd door stabilizers or bracing and role stiffening. Trd sound tube changer was a cheap way to get porsche noises too! Very awesome video you deserve more views!
You can change the throttle mapping with a flash tune! you don't need to buy an aftermarket controller. Everything else though I agree, makes the car feel much sportier!
I like how you say you have driven other 86's and compare them based on the topic youre talking about..makes you a lot more credible on taking your word for it
I went with UEL headers, OP, FP and cat back, into a OFT tune and trd lowering springs and upgraded bushings and a aluminum DSS driveshaft. Love everything about the car Edit: also... the wheels I went to enkei rpf1s with a nitto neo gen tire
is this mount cootha ? Great to see a local modder ! Just subbed to see your the progress of your boosted brz, especially since your a local, ( I’m presuming if you’re able to access the 86shop). And hoping to go down the supercharger route eventually on my gts86
I have heard this is a big issue on these motors. On a stock motor as long as it's not high mileage I'm sure OEM would be fine but this is actually something i'm looking into for my build as i'm a little bit worried the extra power could cause some extra unwanted vibration on the crank
Thoughts on the 2022 BRZ? I feel like your build eliminates the need for upgrading whether it ends up being NA or Turbo'd. Being NA myself I'm trying to think whether it would be worth trading in for the new model if it's turbo'd or to throw a kit on it as is.
I think more details get released on it soon! I’m hoping for the best but I’m not holding my breath for it. When subaru went from the 207 to the 257 it caused a lot of issues and I feel they might be doing the same with the FA20 to FA24. I really hope the motor is awesome and I can swap a motor in or upgrade to easily get more displacement. But the car looks like a heavy face lift not a new chassis. Kind of like when they went blob eye to Hawkeye. Same chassis but a lot of updates
Hey Angus, I was looking at getting an ecutek tune and kit, but also wanted An E85 tune with flex fuel, I’m in Australia like you wondering where you got yours from?
Angus Outram suppose I’m curious why guys would do the CTS or whatever that American car is conversion just to buy some cheaper calipers, I presume even a set like yours is likely accessible from even a scrap yard, and to know it just bolts on means it just seems safer to me, designed for, not around
Upgrading brake pads doesn't really affect stopping distance or in your case slowing down from speed. It more so will help you with the process of repetitive braking cycles. so depends how long your favourite twisty road goes for :)
@@AngusOutram Same. Best mods I have done are, EL headers & exhaust, coilovers, better tyres/wheels, various bushes and a tune. I also changed the FD to the 4.3:1 from the 2017+ and that made the car feel a lot more lively. Worth every cent.

Very nice! How much of a difference did you notice with the Aluminium driveshaft?
@@AngusOutram a better pedal feel, off a stop light or sign and better rev band all around. Its noticeable but not as great as I had hoped for price
@@joshuawatts6823which bushings?
is this mount cootha ?
Great to see a local modder !
Just subbed to see your the progress of your boosted brz, especially since your a local, ( I’m presuming if you’re able to access the 86shop). And hoping to go down the supercharger route eventually on my gts86
Yes Mt Cootha! Yeah am local to brisbane :)
Thanks for subbing! FI is definitely worth it if you do it right!
Fortune auto coilovers best mod on mine right now i do have perrin sway bars front and rear and cat back exhaust greddy evo gt
What are your wheel specs, I have a Frs and your car looks incredible
I would add fluidampr harmonic balancer. Not necessarily a performance mod but it helps protect your engine in the long run

It be cheaper to just buy the turbo, especially if the car is paid off

Hey man! What city are you in? I got my ECUTEK License and tune from a tuner in Brisbane
@@AngusOutram Melbourne man
I believe chip Torque is one of the better flash tuners for ECUTEK in Melbourne! I tried doing some research! Haha
I wonder if we can get our hands on the new brz 2.4 motor to swap on our cars and mod that motor just for na power
Will be interesting to see once some second hand motors come available! I’ll definitely be checking to see once we see if they take boost well or not!
Just sub to your channel im #500 like the videos you make keep it up
Thank you!! I have heaps in planning at the moment. I should have new videos rolling in soon!
Was there a specific kit you used for the STI brakes?
Nope it’s all just straight bolt on, just need WRX STI brake lines to fit

Engine and turbo video🙏
Not a real car mod. But, changing the dome light from subtle nothingness bulb to an LED panel. It's like night and day difference, so worth it.
I am in a small island I can’t even go past fourth gear do I really need extra brakes

Yo you are pretty good. I see a TJ Hunt Jr. out of you but the music is too TJ Hunt ish and every other 86 guy...should make it unique
Thanks heaps man!
what wheels are those and what are the specs?
17x9 +35 Wedssport TC105N with a 255/40/17 tyre
Are you a straight line warrior?
Not my forte, prefer the twisties, but slowly getting more into track :)

Which bushes did you go with and how did you find how they impacted handling and NVH?
I need headers and a tune so bad
100% transforms the car, especially if you can get a E85 tune!
@@AngusOutram i wish no e85 stations near me 😫 or i probably would have done it already
Short shifter
I do vibe this! Which one did you pick?
