My autox, track car, DD, FRS
I am an owner of an raven FRS! I bought the car on the 7th of this month with 6 miles on the odo, today it now has about 2560 miles. So almost 2600 miles in like 3 weeks is not too bad LOL. It's my DD, weekend car, autox, and track car, so it basically replaces my old STi. I just hope this car will handle what i put my STi through on a daily basis. I already drive the FRS like i drove the STi, hitting 7k rpm all day, and having fun on corners, as well as some drifting in some random parking lot.
Sold the 04 STi for 10g's, it had 175k miles on stock turbo, and motor, but full suspension/brakes. Compression of 140 all around and a 2-3% leak down when i sold the car. 3 years of owning it full of mountain roads, autox, and a track day and it was still healthy as hell. I abused the shit out of the car, and i even told the guy who i sold the car to everything i have done to the car haha. [ame]http://youtu.be/-8kslHv9uP0[/ame] The car came with the wing, and trd cbe from the factory. My mod list: -Cusco strut bar /w cylinder brace -swift springs -17x9 rpf1 et35 /w 245/40 tires all around [ame]http://youtu.be/s1jO6lTMuhU[/ame] Last edited by bkblitzed; 10-01-2013 at 03:29 AM. |

First, welcome to the forum and congrats on becoming an owner to one of the twins. Did your frs come with the TRD exhaust? It looks really good btw and would like to see more pictures if possible. Thanks.

Well with the car sitting with 2600 miles within the first month of owning i decided to buy some parts while being stuck in bed and no work. I bought some 17x9 silver rpf1 et 35, and purple lugs from ft86speedfactory. My swift springs should be comming soon from being back ordered also . Once I get the green light to drive from my surgeon, ill most likely spend the whole day driving haha.
