Alright, I know I've been posting a lot but I want some suggestions.

What should be my first serious modification to the FiST? I want an exhaust but I also want the Cobb tuner but there is still the Mountune Intercooler that I want as well. But then again I could do rally lights and rims.. What do I do with $1000?

Do you plan on autocrossing/tracking at all? Cause if you do, wheels and tires. Without a doubt.

I haven't been able to find any info on autocrossing out here yet.

Tru dat. Potenza RE-11A tires all around. There goes your $1000.

Those are about 700 dollars! You still have 300 dollars left to mod!

Sports Car Club of America in Germany? Unfortunately not my friend.

Hahah, I forgot you were overseas. Well how far are you from the Nurburgring?

Hi, FoST owner here.

The AccessPort will give you the most gains in terms of power/torque. The next few items are optional depending on your usage. For 'smaller' mods, the Rear Motor Mount is terrible in our cars, but not everyone feels the engine smashing against the firewall. You will have to deal with more NVH if you upgrade the RMM. A short shift plate is another idea, the intercooler is a great idea if you will be pushing the car to the max on a frequent basis.

Have fun :)

1.5 hours.. So theoretically I could do 27 laps on the 'Ring and that'd be my budget.

I would try and go down there every month for 2 or 3 laps! I would recommend brake pads, brake fluid, tires, and some track time as your mod! It will be a blast

I could do the Cobb Stage 1 Package with the AccessPort, RMM, and the high flow filter and have some leftover!

Make it lighter? I read somewhere that this is probably one of the best first mods you could do for your car.

EVERYONE who I talk to about my FiST says sway bars, brakes, wheels, and tires are what I should do.

You must do those things, and go to the Nurburgring regularly.

Rally lights first. Always rally lights first.

But how? I can't afford to lose the rear seats, I do have friends. And going without my radio isn't an option because that's how I use the phone in the car. I guess I could remove the spare but that just makes for a potentially shitty day in the future.

Good point. And yeah, keep the spare. Remove panels, maybe?

DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS

From now on any non-travel related profit will go towards the FiST. I want that exhaust, motor mount, and AccessPort. Or I can bring it to one of the legit Mountune dealers and have the MP215 upgrade done!

Brian Silvestro > Mr. FiSTer of Team FiST Fetish
08/07/2014 at 19:28

Oh yeah I forgot you guys have those there! You should do that. Just makes sure tires/wheels/brakes are your priority.

And the cool thing about the Mountune MP215 is that when I got back to the states I would have one of the very few (if not the only) legit Mountune upgraded FiSTs.

Now it has to happen. The nearest shop that can do it is an hour away, I am going to get in contact and try to schedule it for next month.
