Hit a big milestone the other day

Winter mode. Sorry for the blackberry pictures. Thought the sun reflecting on the paint looked pretty cool.

Beautiful car Dan! For some reason those burnt exhaust tips really stand out to me in that last picture and I love em!

Dipstik-sportech · 01-26-2015, 10:33 AM

Thanks! I wasn't sure about the burnt tips at first, but I think they are a perfect fit

Hmmm.. What's going on here? (sorry for the bb pics)

Ok, @Dipstik-sportech what goes where again?

End result.

Going to have to take a look at her some day soon!

Springs have settled to 26" at all 4 corners (measuring from ground to bottom part of the middle of the wheel well. Had an alignment done last week and had the front camber set to -1.2* (maxed in top hole), 0mm toe, caster is between 5*42' and 5*44'. Camber in the rear is a bit off at -1.2* and -1.55* (driver vs. passenger side) and -1.4mm of toe in either side. Eventually I will get some control arms for the rear but over all this is much better than the OEM alignment.

@D_Thissen where'd you get your Winmax pads?

D_Thissen · 05-01-2015, 10:09 AM

At the beginning of April I did a little bit of a road trip. I was moving from Thunder Bay back down to Whitby, and while most of my stuff was shipped in a truck, there was some things that I brought home in the FR-S. Its amazing how many bags and boxes you can stuff into this car lol. I drove 1500km in 17 hours and not a single hick up. Well, other than a sore @$$! I love these cars!!

Here is how she sits today.

I picked them up BNIB from a forum member who was parting out their car. I believe they picked them up from here http://counterspacegarage.com/ . Still have to install them though
