If you're gonna own a GT86/BRZ, ain't no way you're gonna fit anybody back there besides kids laugh.gif  which means more luggage space  wink.gif and yeah, with 120k can buy a maybe 2014 unit, spend the extra 20k on brakes, coilovers, FI, exhaust, and intake. Then when the time comes, forged internals and crank up the boost  drool.gif

only used units that are most likely worn/modded.
its gotten much cheaper, but not as cheap as you think.

parts on the 86 also even worse... good coilovers alone already almost 10k. how you guys to FI it? brakes?
estimate at least 30-50k if you're that ambitious.

Let's see, if medium level coilovers (not those Ohlins level ya) like Tein, Tanabe, HKS maybe 5-7k can get?
Then 17' lightweight JDM rims like RPF1, can buy good used ones for say 3-4k maybe.
Then good performance tires, maybe about 2k all.
Brakes maybe can adopt from std 4/2 pots of other cars? Say spend around 3-4k front & rear to get refurbished calipers with new discs, pads, & stainless hose.
Exhaust maybe up to 2-4k
Then bolt-on FI plus engine management and additional gauges, can be 20-30k.
Then don't forget a good security system to protect all these stuff, maybe another 2-3k?
So total already like 34k-52k, no?
Belum lagi if want to do further chassis stiffening like bars & bushings. Then how about add body kits, and change some components just to improve AV entertainment a bit?  brows.gif Total already like half the used price leh.

Wa, the way you itemize it actually made me realize how even I (the other 2dudes aside hah) underestimated the cost laugh.gif

welcome to the beast club.

BTW, who on earth, other than you two will ever consider spend 50% of the car price on mods?  laugh.gif

C'mmon bro. It's Malaysia. Everything is fucking expensive here.   sweat.gif

A LOT of foreigners did. There's a recent YouTube 'er I watched who did just that and more, the total amount he spent could have gotten him a R35 GTR instead that will beat the 86 in just about any way.

=edit=
Thinking back, technically I did the same with the Inspira. So lol

Hahaha, I'm not in the 'beast' club la, I just made some guesstimate based on what I know la.
Note that some of those are used stuff wor, like used rims and calipers! Imagine if you want to buy brand new ori RPF1 and Brembo/AP Racing/Project Mu calipers?  Easily top up another 10-15k there. Then how about carbon fiber seats? Belum lagi if you want fully built motor with forged internals to take more boost? Endless possibilities with endless spending! laugh.gif

Tires to properly take in all that power need at least 3k+ (AD08R), more if you're planning to widen it beyond the usual 215/225 width lol

GalaxiasWilliam back to our sad Malaysian reality yet? Lol

Foreigners, are a whole different story.

Like me, I also just watched somebody rebuild a crashed evora around 40k usd-ish, which is barely enough for a top spec camry in the states.

Comparing like this have zero context, since car price, part price and buying power is way off.

Thus, it is increasingly rare to see people in Malaysia dumps 40-50k in a 100k car.

I absolutely respect those people.  laugh.gif

But again, it make no sense, at all. rclxub.gif

I dump 30k on minor mods /maintenance for a 60k Inspira. 20k fuel over 2 years also not included.
Then 20k on loan repayment.

I know, I never did made much sense when it comes to things I love laugh.gif
