NICE mods dude , where and how did you connect the ground and power for your escort. I have a V1, and wanted to do the same thing you did.

Nice ride! I have seen you in Huntington before on Main Street. I figured it was you, since this one has Greddy exhaust, and clear markers as well. I was taking a pic of your car and saying to myself, "wow, I don't see those often." As soon as I said that, another black FR-S drives by, and I was able to get a pick of both of you crossing each other. I took this shot during the U.S. open weekend. lol. Small world.

Threw on some DS2500 front pads, DOT 4 fluid and a Berk B pipe (secondary cat and resonator delete) on my far for the track day at Buttonwillow tomorrow. A few pics:
Berk B pipe on the scale. Stock pipe with cat and resonator on the scale. Installed. Side by side. Savings? about 5lbs. Also picked up a bit more growl but still pretty sedate. Nice piece. On to the brakes... DS2500, quite fond of this pad and I have been using it for years. Not a hardcore track pad but an ok compromise for weekend track romps. With Signature Series rotors from Best Brakes, highly recommended if you need an inexpensive front blank for your FR-S/BRZ/WRX. On the road again... |

Nice FR-S and very nice build so far. Did you save any weight with the new wheel/tire setup?
Ha, I dig your avatar too. I've been selling all of my B-series stuff so that I have a bigger down payment on my FR-S =) Two more engines and one tranny to go! |

Thanks, yeah the wheels save around 2lbs a corner but the tires are 1lb heavier per corner. So 1lb savings a corner. Roughly a wash. Huge step up in grip however.
