Encity's Firestrom FR-S
[main post constantly updated] Only planning light mods. ([edit] A year later, ok maybe not) Mods so far:
Future Plans:
Stuff i got because of the car, and stuff i want to get
Picked her up Tuesday the 5th of June, MT Firestorm FR-S Im not a daily track or autocross guy, but even driving around normally i can feel the difference in handling compared to my old 2nd gen tc and other cars ive driven. And its a great smile inducing feeling. Not mine just yet... was still thinking if i should get it: OKAY, i wasn't really thinking if i should, deep down, i knew the answer, took it home that night and gave it its first wash and clay. newbie to detailing, but used : http://www.detailersdomain.com/Adams...-Kit_p_64.html Bought myself a red and black version of the 86keychain from http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17079 quick photoshoot: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...0&postcount=31 Grimmspeed limited edition oil caps! collectibles! Visual Garage Sharkfin, clean and smaller profiler than the beatsonic. design flows better with the car IMO. Team Voodoo's shift knob. love it, sits low, polished black, feels great and smooth. Meng Motorsports 5000k HIDs (images make them look like they have a tint of blue) Pioneer x940bt installed with customized startup screen! (first time doing any sort of install like this, great learning process) Glossy CF Wrap (CA-421GN} LOAD of improvement over the T pattern graphic. makes the interior feel much better imo. CF vinyl is textured, and refracts light in various ways. very cool I never had non glossy cf wrap, so i cant comment on how the two compare. A bit later, i CF wrapped around the HVAC area. Doggy's DCW CF Console insert with custom logo its J-D-M, yo: Toyota 86 exhaust tips until i get an exhaust. Babys first oil change, Complete motor, transmission, and differential oil changed with motul brand done by AZP Installs in NJ Valenti Taillights All Weather floor mats invidia N1 exhaust INSTALLED! courtesy of @DarkCard [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnLABBxgenk&"]Scion FRS - Invidia N1 exhaust sound - YouTube[/ame] Foglights Yospeed License Plate Perrin CAI Armrest Silicon inlet, sound tube delete: New wheels finnaly and lowered the car (brand new tires, dirty ass tires) Red AC Knob Covers virtual FRS: UPGRADE x2 1:33 scale FRS model found for 7bucks at a supermarket

Nice car and simulation setup. I have the Fanatec wheel as well and it's a blast taking the FR-S to Nurburg and Laguna Seca. Add me on Xbox Live if you want a good FR-S race! Gamertag: EaterOfMany

Other than having to modify the metra mount, nah.
Used a hacksaw to cut out apart the metra gap filling piece. Fitment wise - the pioneer was fine. (minus the need to have to use gap fillers in the first place) Out in staten island. updated with CF wrap!

Nice man.
Red is growing more and more on me. Never used to be a red car fan, might just have to do it someday!
