The Story (The Part you Skip)

I had been looking at Scion's for my wife Cheyenne, she wanted to replace her GTO for something that got better gas mileage and we both wanted it to have a good warranty. This lead me talking to a Scion dealer, the guy turned out to be someone I wish I hadn't met but in the end we both ended up buying new cars from a different sales men.
Long story short I was told there was only 1 manual FRS (I was excited when I saw a Series 10 only to find it was Auto... WTF?) and there would not be any others for 3 months. Took a Asphalt FRS on Saturday, came back Monday and they had 2 new FRS's out in Silver and Orange. (I originally went in for Blue, Silver or Orange) I got pissed, called corporate and later that day I had an Orange FRS just the way I wanted it. (2014 deck and all)
The Original Asphalt FRS:


So as I always do I set right to ordering modifications. Almost hit someone in my blind spot so a set of Convex Mirrors was one of the first purchases along with an AiRaid intake. I also bought the Unichip to test out. From there it just spiraled on as most things like this do, this thread shows much of that quite well.

I have done a little editing and restructuring to make it a little easier to skim through and check the main post for current status.

The AZ Group likes to get together quite often both the Phoenix and Tucson Groups. Feel free to join our events!

Ditto.


What headers are in the tenth and eleventh pictures?

UEL's are the OpenFlash Headers, the not quite UEL not quite EL's are the Agency Power's.

Or Used = Agency Power and New = OFH

As for Redheads, yes you could say that. I did try Blond and Brunette and ended up going back to a Redhead.

I am still making changes, I bought the OpenFlash Header, EcuTek Pro Software Setup, Kartboy Short Shifter w/ Bushing, AEM Uego Wideband, Scion Rear Bumper Scratch Guard, LCA's, Megan Diff Brace from a Forum Member and other goodies. I have most of them installed, the rest I am waiting on arrival and I will install them before this weekends Pavillions trip. I need to start taking more pictures but I am not always good about remembering to do so.
I really need to get back to work on the FRS more but I have been busy finishing with the Built 408 Motor install and getting the RX7 ready for sale. Both of those are pretty much done so I am ready to get back to work on the S/C setup!
Some Pictures:



I plan on devoting more time to the FRS and I will try to take more pictures than I usually do. I have been enjoying playing with it and I look forward to starting a new project now that I am done with the others. I bought my old 1993 FD RX7 back and will be finishing an L1 swap into it and I will be picking up another motorcycle, looking at Buell Firebolts but who knows. Either way it should mean there is a lot more fun to come!
I also have the 4th Carshow for Cancer coming up and were hoping this year is even bigger than last year! Last year we helped a young boy with a Tumor by giving him a day he should never forget, a Power Wheels, ride in a Helicopter and $3000 in donations for his family! Come join us this year!

Thank you.

In for the build so I can live vicariously through you! Lol

I decided to order quite a few parts and make some changes because I didn't like how some of the newer modifications changed things.

• Magnaflow Sold and ISIS Catback went on
• Rota Slipstreams traded for ISIS Catback and STR Rims replaced them
• Unichip sold and OpenFlash Tablet installed, became a Vendor for OFT Products
• Windows Tinted
• S2000 Resonator I had installed
• Agency Power Headers and Custom 2.5" Over Pipe Installed
• @captain_jack Painted my Tails
• 6000k HID Kit and LED Bulb's for the whole car from a Forum Member
• LED Sidemarker Lights thanks to @Yruyur finding them for me
• Lowering Springs 1" Drop
• Perrin Lightweight Crank Pulley

Here is a picture and Soundclip of the Magnaflow I sold to a local member (this is on his car):

You might have seen the car at the AZ86 Bash put on by @jeffsides, an excellent event. While there we were all told about some new LCA's coming out from Voodoo 13 a local company. However when they finally were released Dustin told us the price had gone up $200. Needless to say quite a few AZ people were disappointed and I ended up going another route thanks to another local member selling me a set of LCA's.
I also bought a Lower Diffuser for the Rear Bumper and started making some Audio and Interior Changes. I got the EnTune setup from a forum member as well as @captain_jack selling me a sub box setup using an 8" Alpine Type R and powered by an Alpine Amp I had still.
I also picked up a set of Evo8/9 Recaro Seats just like I have in my Corvette and installed those. I have been working on making the pressure sensor work but for now I am still having issues with that.
I was also now running E85 just as I do with my Corvette and RX7, what a difference it makes!



Alright today I got the Kartboy short shifter and rear bushing. I really like the way it feels with both but before I had the rear shift bushing in it really didn't feel good at all, that rear bushing is a pain to get in but very worth it.

I tried to buy a set of 5Zigen FN01r-c rims today but they were out of stock seemingly everywhere. So I ended up with a staggered set of XXR 535's in Matte Black. They should be here next week!

[akahenry]

You should shoot some sound clips and drive- by videos of your OFH installed! I'm pretty much set on buying it but I just want to hear a variety of exhaust set ups with the OFH. (I'm mainly modding the headers for the distinct rumble and rid of torque dip.)

[Cross]

I can do that this weekend. Great idea.

So while I was working on a few additions to the FRS I found that the sway bars were well... bendable with my thumbs... So I just ordered a Sway Bar set for it 20.6mm in Front 17.5mm in the Rear both solid with Poly Bushings.

I then happened upon a set of Fog Lights with everything for under 90 shipped.... so I bought those too lol.

Back to installing the new LCA's though (been waiting for the black paint to dry), then to get the car aligned tomorrow and I put the modified front snorkel on.

[Cross]

Alright waiting on them to install my new rims. Hopefully I like them!

Test fit on the rear they stick out just a little.

It needs a bath and I want flat center caps not these raised ones. But other than that I really like them.
I also got the new Lower Control Arms on, tomorrow morning it gets aligned then I just wait for the Fog Lights and Sway Bars which should be here this weekend.

Damn I hate to be "that guy" but someone has to do it. Why oh why would you take the Recaros out of an Evo?! I had an Evo 9 with the alacantra seats for 3 years. The stock BRZ seats blow those out of the water for comfort and bolstering!

I'd love to hear the rationale behind this decision.

[Cross]

Because I did not like the FRS seats as much, I like the Recaros. I run the same Recaros in my Corvette.
Some people like one thing while others like something else. There is no rational to explain only personal opinion. And quite frankly your probably not going to like nor agree with that reply but it's not going to change my opinion either.

Fair enough! Carry on.
