Stay Crushing FRS Build... it has begun!!
 
Hey guys just wanted to drop by and say whats up... finally gonna get started on posting pics/updating this thread and all of that good stuff.

Pics will be up later tonight of progress so far and parts that have arrived... needless to say this has been both the most exciting and stressful car build I have decided to take up. I went in head first due to my excitement and youth and almost ended up with a car that is brand new and could have been ruined.

This build has almost failed twice and is financially supported only by myself and the sponsors that have decided to hop on board.

Post the love/hate/whatever you want... I cant wait for this to finish and to be on the road to SEMA in a week and a half.

Before I start posting pics and all of that good stuff Id like to give a shoutout to all the supporters of the build:

toyo and whiteline decided to also help out with the build. went with the toyo t1 sport since the car is a daily driver... the r888 was the original plan but not down for r compounds on a daily driver... just not practical at all. gotta have whiteline sways too, going to run more product from whiteline but they are currently out of stock on the shifter bushing and positive traction kit, with those products combined should get rid of the sloshy feel in the rear and the shifter. Stan and Tom you guys rock!!!!
