So I was always the one to say "I'm only doing aesthetic mods to my car", but my friend just got a '19 GT PP2 and I don't wanna get smoked...
I'm starting a list to make my car a force to be reckoned with on the street, without supercharging it or doing serious engine work, and keeping the appearance OEM+. The thing is, I have no idea how to go about this.
For aesthetic starters, the car is going to have a high kick spoiler, and the Mporium skidplate with a GTS style lip. After that, I'm lost lol.
I have 69k miles on the car, 2011 E92, babied, tracked once by the previous owner. Do I need to get the RB's taken care of before even thinking about this stuff? The plan is to do it before 80k anyway.
ECU tune - Evolve? For someone new to ECU stuff, what should I think about? I want the power gain and some of the other cool stuff, top speed limiter delete, higher redline, any other suggestions? How do the DCT tunes work? How does a race fuel setup work and is it worth it? Is running E85 or 93 a good idea?
Body stability - Sway bars? Anything else?
Exhaust - This is one of those things I don't want to spend a lot of money on, and I don't want the car to be obnoxious or a pain in the ass. Is catless the only way to get any good benefits?
Wheels/Tires - I have spacers and 275x255 4S's and am thinking about 285x265 next time I get tires. How do those fit on 359's? I was tempted to get EC-7's and put 295x275, but that's the next level and I like the look of the 359's. I also like the look of 19's over 18's. I guess 18's with square tires is a good track setup?
Yep this is a lot. I would love to document it on here if I end up going through with the transformation! Maybe there are some threads on here with people doing exactly what I want to, I'll search around but wanted to put this post up here so I can have conversation.
Thanks all
