1Cor10:23 | Whiteout FR-S | Form Follows Function Build
**Work in Progress - photos inbound!**
So I've finally decided to start a journal to document all the things that have happened to my FR-S. Whether it's mods, maintenance, or boo-boos, wanted to have a place to keep her complete history. Starting a bit late into the game so will have a bit of a black log on details/pics. |Background| Purchases in July 2013 with a build date of April 2013. This is my first MT car and also first new vehicle (some prior new-to-me cars). |Theme| Someone mentioned it on the forum before (name escapes me now) but essentially, this individual offered some great advice - your build should have a theme to keep your mods consistent. It's easy to get sidetracked with all the fabulous parts coming out for this platform you might go down a path which you didn't really intend to. For me, the car is my DD but I also intend on attending the occasional track day / HPDE. As for mods - I find the car is beautiful just the way it is and will focus on parts that affect performance as opposed to aesthetics. I'm pretty crazy about symmetry and fit and most aftermarket parts just don't do it for me. Heck, OEM replacements sometimes don't even fit well depending on who you get to do the task. |Index| 1.

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-pGmDUDMbE"]New 2014 MOSPORT DDT | Scion FR-S | Gopro footage - YouTube[/ame] Last session around the track. Lots to improve on but much better than earlier in the day.

How do you like your G1W dashcam? Size, video quality (can you see plate numbers?), etc.). I'm looking for a dashcam, too, but not sure which one to get.

Was able to get -1.26 on each side. Shop said doubling up could get 1.5+ for sure. I'll run it as is for now since I'm only really doing it for closer to even wear at the track. Likely coils for next season.
