Golfyankee2121's 2013 Argento FR-S Build Thread

[golfyankee2121]

What's up everyone? My name is Jimmy B, I am 23 years old, and this is my 2013 Argento Scion FR-S. I had another build thread on here, but it was getting out of date, and I wanted to create a new one, so here it is!

I have had the car since January 1, 2014 and I have loved every minute of ownership. I have always been into cars, and loved the idea of modifying them to my liking. This is the first "tuner" car that I have owned, and the first car that I have been able to modify. Considering that fact, I was very in over my head at first, but this forum helped me immensely. In the last 2+ years of perusing this forum's various topics, I have learned so many different things about this car that I probably would have never known without it. With that being said, let the build list begin!

A couple of recent pictures with current mods:

Timeline below:

The first day I had the car:



It didn't take too long for the mod bug to bite me and once it did, I never turned back.

My first mod was a muffler delete: 02/14/2014



Then came some Valenti Tail Lights: 06/07/2014



After that I had the tint, subwoofer and amp installed: 06/14/2014



A Perrin Drop In filter and Inlet Tube was next: 09/01/2014



LED Bulbs and Center Console Badge from Diode Dynamics and Exogear iPad Mini Mount: 11/21/2014



New Wheels and Tires Installed: 02/28/2015





After about 6 months with the inlet tube/drop in, I decided to go with a full CAI. I chose GrimmSpeed, and couldn't be happier with my decision! I also replaced my factory floor mats and upgraded to WeatherTech: 04/10/2015



Next I bought an OpenFlash tablet from a fellow ft86club member for some performance gains!: 07/05/2015



Smoked my side markers and reverse light bar with Lamin-X film: 08/28/2015



Rev Works UEL Installed, stage 2 tune flashed: 09/03/2015

Bayson R fender garnish installed: 11/01/2015

Installed interior trim pieces, shift knob, shift boot, wide angle mirrors, shorty antenna, and black badges: 01/22/2016





Lowering springs, camber bolts and brake pads installed. I also had my ATF and Diff fluid changed: 03/21/2016



The last mod that I did was installing Rally Armor mudflaps that I acquired through another club member: 05/20/2016








That's all for now! I will keep updating as more mods are made. Right now I don't have any more mods planned, but I am thinking about doing a 4.56 or 4.88 final drive swap to help out with acceleration. Damn those tall ass AT gears lol.

Please feel free to ask me anything about my build. Thanks for looking, and have a great day!!

Yeah I like the look of that one more than the other OEM version. I would be down to trade, but I don't have any idea how to remove the trunk. The other thing is that my trunk's hole where the license plate screws in are completely stripped and gone. So I basically have my license plate Velcro'd to my trunk via industrial strength Velcro haha


I'd be down to trade though if you're still interested. I am actually down in Port Saint Lucie this week so let me know and we can potentially meet up.

I have wanted to for a little while now, just haven't had the chance to. There are a couple of shops near me with dyno's, I just need to do it lol. If I ever do, I will be sure to post the logs here.

FWIW I used "virtual dyno" a while back and used one of my data logs and it gave me around 175 to the wheels. I have no idea how accurate that actually is, but it gave me a rough idea.

I can tell you that it pulls way harder than it did in stock form hahaha

No, MT. But same performance parts. Most folks here have same parts as me but they are running e85. You meanwhile have 93oct. Your numbers will give me a "ballpark".
