What are your favorite modifications that you have or planning to do on your vehicle?

Lighter flywheel was the best mod!

best thing i ever did to my car back when it was driving was the 4.77 final.

now I have to say the cage. I love having a cage..

A very inexpensive and great mod is the shifter bushing. It is such a small thing, but transforms the car for the better.

Why do you love having a cage?

Aftermarket? Or just replacing an old one with an OEM one?

ITBs. Absolutely in love with how ITBs sound. So much so, that a louder exhaust is not something I want as it will take away from the ITB snarl. Just happy with an hks hi-power, de-cat and Silk Road header.

its just always something I've wanted. always having to sit out on tandem parties and stuff because I didnt have a cage sucked. And imo, having a cage to me means that you are committed and settled down with that chassis, as it's such a permanent/can't-go-back modification.

My favourite modification so far is a toss up between my fixed back Sparco and the short shifter I modified. The seat is awesome as you can throw the car around as much as you like and not have to worry about bracing or sliding out of the seat you can just drive, and the short shifter because I'm quite tall and with the seat where I like it the gearknob was always too far away and I had to lift out of the seat a little o change gears, now with it moved back makes driving so much more fun.

What kind of ITBs are you running? Also, how different is the exhaust noise with your modifications?

How did you modify your short shifter?

+1 for info on the modified shifter? I have the same problem the shifter feels too far once my legs are comfortable. Too tall for the car by like 1-2 inches.

As for me i love my recaro SRDs and bilstein coils (ae92)

my SSR Dori Doris......

currently just street use, until I dial in the suspension a tad more, then it'll primarily be used for open lapping days.

blacktop 20v swap.

Really brought the chassis to life.

This is a tough one. Probably the Quaife steering rack for me.

I love my gigantic short shifter.

Stock blacktop or did you do anything to it?

I like the short steering ratio on top of the manual rack feedback - makes the steering feel kind of like a go-kart.

8" Craftsman pry bar handle where the shift knob should be. It comes up juat above the center of the steering wheel. It's a TRD short throw shift so it's actually really tight and the overall shift throw is a little less than the stock shifter. Also I have a Techno Toy Tuning shifter bushing.

How did you modify your short shifter?

Firstly I had to cut and twist it around as I have a T3 short shifter and it leans to left, my cars RHD. Then I just put the bend on more of an angle so it leans more towards the rear of the car.

Should of paid more attention to your username, I saw the picture you posted the other day.

my favorite mod on my 86 has to be my Megan coils they make my car look and drive way better.

so far my sr5 hatch is 20v, trd 6k/4k, rebuilt front suspension, manual steering.... but the thing i cant wait for is ditching this sr5 rear and getting lsd. bought an lsd gts rear for it once but it got stolen while i was putting the 20v together

so my favorite mod im planning for is lds and shorter rear

Car has ae111 20V ITBs and a T3 Mani.

As I mentioned, the exhaust is not that loud. The engine has HKS 256/264 cams, so it can sound a little different, but not much. The noticeable difference is the ITB's. The sound they make when sucking in air is much different than a standard setup as you probably know. Doesnt affect the exhaust tone too much. Thats up to the SIlk Road header and exhaust itself. The HKS Hi-Power is not known to be a screaming exhaust, but to me its just right as I prefer to hear the ITBs over the exhaust anyhow. I just dont prefer the angled fart can out the back, and would prefer a clean dual tip to compliment the rear runfree bumper.
