The addition of the 3rd button sticker was the icing on the cake 😅 Tastefully done. I have a ‘24 Trueno Edition, going on my 2nd month now. I absolutely love the car. Keep on enjoying yours 🤙🏽
Thanks for the props on the sticker...it gets some good laughs from my buddies. Super nice Trueno!! Glad you're enjoying it. Any plans for mods or you keeping it pure??
@@KonkrRoads You have to enjoy life any way you can! Thank you! Great question… the more I drive it, the more inclined I am to keep it pure. I want to compete in 86cup and they do have a stock class. They allow some camber arms, and minimal adjustment items, and track mods (track pads, oil cooler, bucket seat, etc) but no power adders or other enchantments. It drives so well with these Sachs dampers and big brembo brakes 😃 Nice subtle HKS touches on your ride by the way 👍🏽
My order was: Window tinting Paint protection film Ceramic coating of windows and paint Unplug fake engine noise Remove intake carbon filter Dual oil catch cans & I elected for a banana dispenser rather than ejection seat. I felt that would be more useful. I've also added brighter LED reverse lights, smoked turn signals, smoked reverse lights, & smoked side marker lights. To do's remaining this year are: printing a inside trunk handle, oil accumulator, oil cooler, and covering the bolt heads inside the door wells and seat bolts. Next year, I will pull out the entire interior, add sound deadening all around, as well as adding amps and new speakers. 2026 will have me installing a Sprintex supercharger. Then I'll see if I need to open up the exhaust.
more on HKS high power axle back.... these are certainly a lot easier than a) high-powered jacks, b) high-traction tires (for snow/mud/ice) , c) extendable [front] saw blades, d) [plexi] cockpit enclosure, e) IR scanning headlights, f) submarine features, and g) deployable drone... plus additional equipment such as h) grappling hook, i) 40mm rockets, j) smoke screen, k) oil slick.
Another great cheap mod that should be on your list is a glass screen protector for the infotainment system, makes the screen look so much clearer and pleasing to look at. Also carbon fiber trim for around the drive mode buttons and door switch gear is a big cabin upgrade, along with a heavier shift knob.
Good list! I’ve done all of these. I also suggest getting the GR tail if it’s your style. I think it really looks good (got mines black on sapphire to match my STi trim pieces) it should’ve came from factory, and fairly cheap (under $200 doesn’t have to be from Toyota). MTec spring really helps modulate the clutch a bit better. A wireless CarPlay dongle (newer ones connect almost instantly). A dashcam for insurance claims and 5-0 stops. Tints. Wrapped the steering wheel. I also put accessory “fog” lights on mines and changed the front grill with the eBay one, but those are a little more involved. Also upgraded my speakers, added a beat-sonic mini-amp and some dampening on doors and trunk. Changed some buttons, carbon-fiber pieces etc. This car can keep you spending money for years 😂
@@KonkrRoads Make sure it has a Sony Starvis 2 sensor, it's the only sensors capable of consistently catching the license plates because of HDR and AI. They're less than a year old. Mines is a 70mai A810 (not 800), got it for about $150 with some coupons. The Viofo A119 and A229 are good also, depends on how many channels you need. Mines is front and rear, no cabin, but it will still record audio and even timestamps speed and gps info if I want.
Appreciate your service man and solid video. Love the minimalistic additions cuz that’s what I started with doing. Did you have your vents custom wrapped then? Sticker was one of the first ones I did as I have the banana one lol. I pretty much did everything you did but with some carbon fiber additions like the vent covers. If you’re looking for “cheaper” things I recommend tailights and window tint since it appears you’re in Hawaii. Drivenmedia has a lot of good lighting and carbon fiber options! Twins carbon as well, I have their cf mirror caps. I’m probably getting side vent inserts for my next mod 🤙🏼
Your plans sound solid! The a/c vents I bought wrapped from EightyZips. Took a bit but worth it. I've been thinking about clear tails and some matte cf in the interior...just not sure how far I'll go on cosmetic when the goal is a supercharger here in a year or two. What's next after the side vents for you?
@@KonkrRoads yeah I just checked out that video solid. Yes I have tons of cf on the inside lol but I’d recommend the vland clear tailights, that’s what I have and they look rlly nice. Not sure what all I’ll be doing since I’m 24 and don’t make that much money which is why I’m sticking w cosmetic stuff even though I do have an axleback and cai
Hallo, bonjour, ciao Rico -- you are blessed to have your BRZ/86 in a land with so many great roads! Oh how I miss the Susten, Grimsel, Furka trio. I purchased the alcantara vents from EightyZips here: www.eightyzips.com/shop/p/m5s1scmpjlnjkjcj329wjylhddig2a. Here is my review and install video link: th-cam.com/video/lBwmqrDRXVg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=76rqkgXI9zvyKK6T Cheers 🤙
(2) things I would definitely add to your list are: #1 switching out the yellow looking incandescent interior and backup lights for good quality LED lights. #2 should have come this way; adding hood struts and removing the antiquated prop rod!
I would put them in the following order: 1. Wheels and Tires. 2. Suspension 3. Intake/exhaust 4. Add oil cooler and/or an oil pan baffle 5. Radio/speakers 6. Lighting (exterior and interior) 7. Add carbon fiber pieces and I do like the Eject button. 8,9,10.....one of these will be a supercharger.
I see many going this route -- to each, their own. I'll offer a counter-view: knock out a few relatively inexpensive necessities and save funding to prioritize the supercharger once the kits are properly tested. That's my plan, at least🤙
Ejecto Seato buttons are popping up all over. Just search for "Ejecto Seato" and you will be inundated with results. Import Image Racing and Rally Sport Direct are two places to start......
@@KonkrRoads thanks for your service, grew up on scott air force base/ ft bragg as an army brat haha. I think the calm organised tone :). Also it kinda looks like your on base, with the what sounds like an army chopper going overhead.
I get why track-focused GRZs up the tire width, but on the street for me the 215 is good fun and well matched to stock power and handling. 225/40/18s may go on if I move to a wintery climate really due to more options in that size -- what tires are you on now?
If Subaru or Toyota can link the engine issue with the loss of the filter, then yes. However I don't see how the removal of this filter would cause engine problems; the increase of airflow is minimal and the original JDM factory design did not have it to start with. A chance we all take I suppose.
@@KonkrRoadsyou said it! I’m on board with your list too. I like the stock height and wheels on my GR86, so have to ignore a lot of peer pressure. Also, your HKS legamax video was a major reason I got it and was able to install it myself. Will probably never go to another exhaust!

@@K03sport exactly. Even if you get something with more power at the same price, like a used cayman, you’ll be spending more on maintenance and any parts/mods you want.

i think the first mod should be wide angle side mirrors. the blind spot on this car is not joke
that was the first thing i did.
Just turn your head
I'll check these out. Have a link?
#1 gotta be tint for me

Congrats on the new ride 🤙. You going with eject or other??

If you remove charcoal you lose warranty (sadly)

Can’t be true. If you add an intake, it has no charcoal filter and does not void warranty.
Or you could skip all that and trade in your mistake.
