I also only have the TRZ MM installed right now. Now I'm waiting for CAI to ship and debating whether to order a short shifter or not

Shifter bushings and a short shifter then probably a bpv.

is there really a difference between the cobb and tmz?

Yes, I have a TWM its just a short shifter and bushings, the cobb is dual adjustable for height and throws. I have heard of some issues with it but I have no experience with the product myself so I cant comment.

T.M.I.C. Is my next upgrade. Its easy to take off b4 dealer visits
(30min of work) and you get 20 torque and 20 Hp. Im getting the hold suspension kid in the summer. Muahahahhahahhahahhahahahhahahah.

As always it depends on your goals with the car. My advice would be to start with all the easy bolt ons and keep working your way up.

Like strytnyne said : a test pipe, bpv, or shifter bushings. You could get a shortshifter but they are pretty expensive and imo don't make much difference. Feels a little bit nicer but it wont help you go faster or do anything the stock shifter cant.

If warranty is no issue for you then do a downpipe / test pipe. By far the most gains you can get in this car (but the install is PITA).

Rpmc turbo inlet, bpv, test pipe. I'm looking into the motor mounts and test pipe right now. I would get a bpv but I'm looking for a greddy type s. But I don't see myself finding one so I'll probably wait til the new forge bpv comes out. I think the test pipe would be a easy mod to bolt on and off. The turbo inlet really opens up the intake and finishes it off. It would be easier to install it all at once as well. You can really hear the intake and turbo with the turbo inlet. In fact I can't hear my bpv anymore

i agree with aaronc7!!! DOWNPIPE FTW

down goes the pipe . . . down goes the warranty !!!

Go to a good driving school. The money you invest in yourself will pay dividends a lot faster than another upgrade.

 

[Bonafide_Spd3]

Someone always mentions about driving school??? Are you a sales rep or something? I think I drive pretty good myself because I operate heavy equipment and vehicles. Easy car to drive

 

[DAC17]

No sales rep., just a very satisfied graduate of Skip Barber and Spring Mountain driving schools. BTW, driving this car well is a LOT different than driving heavy equipment. There is a reason a lot of people mention driving school. 8< ))

 

[Bonafide_Spd3]

Which makes this car alot easier to drive
