Default Be Careful

Be careful. Even at stock height your front spoiler lip will catch the concrete on most driveways. Dropping an inch will only exacerbate that.

hey guys so finally I went to one of the shops here in the area just to take care of the 30k miles service and he told me that maybe we can do a little of an upgrade since I already have the exhaust he told me to add the bmc filter,ipd throttle body change diverter valves and tune it! I guess I will be probably in the 550ish but my problem right now is the clutch will hold that power?

since I come from the jdm world and that means that when you start to modify it you will spend a lot! I'm really debating myself If I really need this since my supra is making way more and the gtr is my perfect track day dream ( maybe one day I will just sell it and probably buy a cayman s to make a track weapon).

what would you do guys?

any recommendations for the 30k miles service?

thanks a lot for everything

I started with exhaust and, after much research, it seems the general consensus on these forums is that the filter has negligible gains, anyone feel free to correct me on that one. After talking with Kevin from UMW (tune) the throttle body is much further down the list of mods, more important when you're making a lot more power. The next and most common step from where you are is tune for sure. If you do a little research you'll find which works best for you. After that do88 pipes/intercoolers. Also agree, the drop is the way to go.

You just started a slippery slope with mods. These cars has endless mod options and they can quickly go up. IMO, stock form is way more than I can handle on public roads.
