Hey folks,

It's been awhile.

This car was damn near totaled. We were almost certain it was gone. It got smashed on the driver side rear quarter and bent things. Luckily replacement panels are pretty cheap for this car.

So we're bringing it back from its crippled state and I am really stoked to show the progress and the finished product. Making some big changes.

Sad to hear, glad to hear this beast is still coming back!

Ahh what happened!

Drift practice?

I hope everything works out okay, this is one of my favorite FR-S's

I was wondering what you were up to Chase. Glad to hear you're reviving her. Going wide body?

Not officially, but considering it. Said I never would. I mean...doesn't this look too damn good? Then I'll need the power to spin 255's nicely.

I've really shorted this thread of all the pictures and experiences I've had with this car. I drove it cross country and back and didn't even document it. Sorry.



was in a Vortech ad.

S3 featured the car. We were REALLY happy with how it turned out and REALLY happy with the article that was written. Chase Bays advertises on the back cover and we've known all the guys there for almost 10 years, it was nice to finally have a car featured in there. And the Spec Clutch Ad just so happened to be a neighbor. =)

I don't know if my eyes are mediocre or if the print isn't very much readable. Maybe you can read it on here. If not then

A V8 would do that nicely...

Love the enjoy bay... @Chase Bays

If you were to sell that engine harness, I think I'll bite.

I'd love to see more pics of where the fuel system, and battery went

so much work you did on this car, it is awesome.

I agree the engine bay looks very nice and I'd like to do the same with mine. If you have details on how you were able to do it, let us know please.
