2013 "Silly Goose" FRS - 210k+ km/130k+ miles - 14r60 x TRD x STI Build
Hello friends and fellow ft86 enthusiasts,
My car's name is Silly Goose. In honor of my SO's nickname for yours truly. As the title of this post shows, Goose has a lot of miles on her but I have a hunch she's got many more to go. Will the nickname come to bite my silly butt for purchasing a 200,000 km car? Only time will tell. In regards to mods, I have no particular inspiration. My plan is to keep it OEM+. Quality over form. My goal is to see if I can get this car to 300,000 kilometers and beyond... May 2021 Update: The build is complete. All remaining parts (listed) are incoming, if not already on the car. It's time to enjoy every country backroad and thrash it on the track. April 2022: haha... I guess I didn't mean it when I said last year "the build is complete". I acquired two of my holy grails: 1) 14r60 rear end 2) TE37 OG Bronze. Now I think this is the final form. I just want to drive and enjoy it. 2022 TE37 x 14R 2022 Volk TE37 2022 TWS T66-F 2021 TE37 x INGS 2020 Pre-Body Work, Aero Album: https://imgur.com/a/2LODUXI Original State Album:https://imgur.com/a/LGnXdRF Exhaust and Tuning ACE Type A 350 4-2-1 EL Header TRD 14r60 Rear Muffler OEM Zenki Front Pipe OEM Zenki Mid Pipe Ecutek Tune by steve99 Engine, Cooling, Drivetrain Revolution Tuning Carbon Induction Box Revolution Tuning Clutch and Lightweight Flywheel OS Giken Clutch Type LSD 1.5 Way Cusco 4.55 Final Drive 2020 BRZ Transmission Jackson Racing Dual Radiator Oil Cooler 5101-07-J02 Radium Engineering Dual Catch Can PCV + CCV 20-0903 TRD 1.3bar Radiator Cap MS143-18001 STI Oil Filler Cap ST15257ZR010 Optima REDTOP 35 9020-164 STI Battery Tie Down ST82182ST000 Grimmspeed Hood Struts 097001 Modellista GT86 Red Engine Cover Engine Oil: Motul 5w30 or Motul 300v 0w20 Oil Filter: OEM Black 15208AA130 Transmission: Redline 75w90NS Differential: Redline 75w90NS Brake Fluid: Endless RF650 Coolant: OEM Coolant Chassis and Suspension Ohlins Road & Track MUU SP22 F:5k/R:5k SPL Front Lower Control Arms SPL Front Swaybar Endlink / short (thanks u/Route) SPL Front Tie Rod Ends SPL Rear Lower Camber Arms SPL Rear Toe Arms SPL Rear Traction Arms SPC Camber Bolts TRD Motion Control Beams MS303-18001 TRD Strut Tower Bar MS324-18001 STI Battery Tie Down ST82182ST000 Cusco Front Control Arm Power Brace Plus 965 492 FP Cusco Front Crossmember Power Brace 965 492 FM Cusco Rear Crossmember Power Brace 692 492 RM Cusco Differential Bushing Collars 965 928 A Laile Beatrush Rear Bash Bar S86400PB-RA Laile Beatrush Front Bash Bar Perrin Master Cylinder Brace PSP-BRK-405BK Brakes Subaru OEM Performance Pack Brembos Endless MX72+ EP357/EP291 Endless Basic Slit Rotors ER716BS2/ER718BS Endless Stainless Steel Swivel Brake Lines EB726SS Wheels and Tires Yokohama Advan A052 255/35/18 Falken RT615k+ 265/35/18 Volk Racing TE37 "OG" Anodized Bronze 18x9.5 +38 (Street) TWS T66-F 18x9.5 +45 (Track) Rays Engineering Duralumin Lock & Nut L32 Straight Black M12x1.25 - 74020001106BK Exterior: STI Dry Carbon Spoiler, usdm BRZ TS spec E7210CA105 (thank you u/Berserker) TRD 14r60 Rear Bumper TRD 14r60 Rear Diffuser TRD CF Fender Fins MS345-18001 TRD Front Lip MS341-18001 TRD Side Skirts MS344-18001 TRD Fender Extensions MS315-18004-D0 Toyota JDM 86 RC Satin Black Mirror Covers SU003-03073 SU003-03081 Verus Sidemarker Deletes Exterior Lighting: Subaru 17+ OEM Headlights Valenti Revo CR2 Tail Lights Interior: Recaro Japan RS-G GK x2 (Drive and Passenger) Recaro x ASM Bolster Protector ASM Shoulder Protector ASM Seatback Protector PCI Seat Rails PCI Seat Mounts TRD Shoulder Pads Red and Black MS010-00012 MS010-00013 TRD Door Stabilizers MS304-18001 TRD Duracon Shift Knob, White 33504-SP010-00 Subaru OEM 18+ Harmon Kardon Headunit 86271CA780 Subaru BRZ tS Steering Wheel 34312CA150RG Subaru BRZ tS Shift Knob 35022CA100 Subaru BRZ tS Door Grips 94237CA140VH 94237CA150VH Subaru BRZ tS Door Grip Covers 94237CA070 94237CA060 Subaru BRZ tS Vent Rings 66067CA000 Subaru BRZ tS Black AC Trim 66076CA040 66076CA050 Subaru BRZ tS Shifter Trim 92122CA020 Subaru BRZ tS TC/Track Mode Switches 83245CA070 Subaru BRZ tS STI Door Sills 94060CA150 94060CA160 Toyota JDM 86 GR Kouki Cluster Toyota JDM 86 RC Satin Black Steering Wheel Trim Toyota JDM GR spec Toyota Badges 90975-02094 Toyota 86 Cargo Liner (Canadian Dealerships Only) PU550-18151-01 Toyota Key Shell Swap Verus Pedal Spacer GeraldJust Trac-Box Jeremy Fischer, seriesblueadventures Switches LED Trunk Light Strip LED Dome Light Weathertech Front Mats Weathertech License Plate Clear Covers Previous Parts TRD (usdm) Cold Air Intake PTR03-18130 STI Strut Tower Bar SG517CA000 Corsa Catback Exhaust 14864 Volk Racing TE37SL Black Edition II 18x9.5 +41 INGS N-Spec Hybrid Rear Bumper Morimoto XB LED Headlights Subaru OEM 17+ Tail Lights Nsidius Industries 4th Brake/Fog Harness (thanks u/Route) ICE Fabrications GR Gauge Cluster Body Work, PPF: All body work is done at Luxury Auto Body.

The official Silly Goose electrician, thank you for all your work with lighting and wiring. Special Thanks, - Jason (u/Route) for helping source some epic parts. - Alpha Motorsports for also helping source epic parts. The Literature As the story always goes... I drove a friends' 2016 FRS two summers ago and immediately fell in love. I knew I had to have one. Four years into living in Toronto and my first adulthood pandemic, I finally justified a project car. My criteria for my potential car: One Owner, Accident Free (at least, reported accident free), 13-16 FRS - with the "fangs", Stock, Local A wild 2013 FRS in Firestorm Red (and in manual) appeared on the market. For sale, at a random and somewhat "shady" used dealer about 30 minutes from where I live. What is this FRS doing here? (Refer to this album for its purchased state: https://imgur.com/a/LGnXdRF) It was stock, it had one owner, it had no exterior modifications, and it was made in June of 2013 so it was never part of the '13 recall. The only slight problem... 209,000km on the odometer. She started up with no issues, gears shifted nicely, oil was fresh, and aside from the surface rust on the underbody. A deposit and two days later, I picked her up and the rest is history. I have finally acquired the full service summary from the Toyota dealership, as noted above, the previous owner from my nosing around only serviced the car at a Toyota dealership. I scanned the print out I received from a Toyota tech. Enjoy the full service history here: https://imgur.com/a/QirJMrD Thanks for coming along for this journey with me.

These cars are becoming an excellent value with higher mileage. I can’t think of another sports car with the same value at that price and it’s still a “newer” car even with high mileage so you don’t have to worry about old car issues like a 90’s sports car. Enjoy the refurbishment process!

If anyone sees this, how do I thank other people's posts???? I swear I'm not blind.
Update #1 - 1st week of ownership (~04/06/2020) Initial Impressions:
More about the CEL: After receiving the code, I went to buy an OFT immediately. Pulled and cleared the code (P0016), and upon clearing it would come back on start-up usually. I did my research (here, on FB, and on the rest of the internet) and more importantly gave my Subaru mechanic, Jason @ Apex Auto, a call. (My car was due to be in his shop in 3 weeks, yes, he is very busy) Jason's advice:End of the week mileage: 210,000 (~1000km). CEL showed up around ~200 km in Update #2 - 2nd week of ownership (~04/13/2020)
End of the week mileage: 211,xxx (~1000kms) Last edited by thedollarbill; 04-24-2020 at 07:11 PM. Reason: fixed typos |

Update #3 - combining the next 3-4 weeks of ownership into a big post
After installing the TRD catback, the car was dropped off at Apex Automotive Solutions for a engine compression leak test and fluid changes for transmission and differential. Refer to top for fluids used. Lonely goose sitting next to some other subies. Results of test, order of images cylinders #1,2,3,4: The car was then driven to Luxury Auto Body for front end and driver side door repaint. Rich graciously installed my STI wing and aero bits for me as well. Process pics on LAB's IG: https://www.instagram.com/p/CARZ7tngb22/ AFTER, oh my goodness... I had a bit of buyer's remorse with my TRD exhaust. The drone was too much and my heart was already set on a Corsa before I even got the car. So I lined up a buyer for my TRD and bought ordered the Corsa catback. Here it is getting installed @ Bosomode Got my vanity plate and new shoes before getting the coilovers and spacers installed! Had my Tein Coilovers, Spacers, SPL End links and Mudflaps installed at Apex Auto: Picked up a bottom key cover from a local Toyota dealership to replace the Scion logo: Current mileage as of May 23,2019: 213,xxx |

Since I've gotten the car: -New Battery -New Oil Filter -New Engine Oil, Transmission Oil, Differential Oil -New Wheels + Tires I did have a P0016 (Oil Valve Sensor issue) within the first week of picking up the car but the new battery has put that issue to rest so far. I actually finally got the chance to get the full "service summary" from a Toyota tech. They were previously giving me a very hard time trying to pull any service history on my vehicle because "privacy" or whatever bullshit they were trying to give me over the phone. But I showed up to pick up some parts and popped by the service lane in my car and got someone to print it. Here it is: https://imgur.com/a/QirJMrD (I didn't have this knowledge before purchasing the car but I think I lucked out. Previous owner had it serviced exclusively at the same Toyota dealership since 2013) |

Very well taken care of indeed (aside from all that surface rust in the undercarriage, but I'm sure it's because of all that snow/salt out east there)! Good that you bought it off a responsible owner. She still running silky smooth?
