Silvia - Whiteout FR-S
Well hello everyone! This will be my journal as things progress and a place for me to maybe ask for opinions.
It's been 4 years since I've had a car I enjoyed driving as much as I enjoy the Twins, my 300ZX which I built with my father suffered some minor injuries at the track some time ago and I just never cared to touch her again. Enter Silvia, a name picked by my wife which kind of stuck. A 2013 Whiteout FR-S I bought used with 24k on the clock. I never mind buying used, especially certified (though it doesn't always mean much) with a factory warranty still with some meat left on the bones. I traded in my 2007 Honda Fit which treated me well over the years but its just something I loathed to drive, when I choose to drive my wifes 2006 Jeep Liberty over my own car.. You know there is a problem. I've always owned a sports car of some fashion or another, and even with some of the hurdles that come with wanting to Daily a sports car, its my happy place. I'm not quite sure in its entirety what I have planed for the car. Winjets are a must, but I'm torn between Valenti Red and clear with the White boomerang as well as the Toms. A few other things I plan on -Full Exhaust (can't make my mind up on which one i love the SRT but I think it may be a bit to loud for a DD) -OpenFlash -Clear Side Markers -Alcantra dash pieces to replace the faux carbon fiber -TRD Springs -Wheels (not sure what) Down the road I plan on going forced induction. For the time being any upgrades will be slow. First things I will be doing is the Head/Tail Lights, aside from that I'm going ot leave the car alone and get some seat time at a Track/AutoX. I really want to learn to drive the car properly and use it for its intended use before i start fucking with any dynamics of the car. Maybe in a year or two I'll go the FI route, leaning more towards the innovate supercharger, im not looking to build a rocket ship, something thats just a little more ballsy than it is now. |

Congrats on your purchase and welcome to the forums. Whiteout is my favorite color of all the choices available.

^^ Mine as well. If I went the BRZ route I could have settled for the WRB. I honestly thought that the white on the FR-S was more white, hence the name but im in love with the darker pearl in the light she has. I had not seen a whiteout FR-S in person (none around here that I know of, just a white BRZ at the dealer)
