Karnage_313's Raven FR-S build

[karnage_313]

Hey everyone! My name is Jeffrey and I have a Raven 6AT FR-S that I picked up last month and now it is just under 1k miles and I am finally able to start really driving it soon. I live in central Indiana and have not really seen any other twins so far. I am coming from a mildly tuned 2004 SRT-4, before that I was into J-bodies and had a Supercharged 2001 Cavalier Z24 and a 2001 Turbo Cavalier Z24.

I really wish I could have gotten a 6MT but they are impossible to find in around me and my wife wants to drive it occasionally as at the time we thought we were only replacing the one car, the next day she picked up a '13 TC in white so if I would have known that I would have waited for a manual, but it's a nice enough car that I wont be too worried about it.

So far the car has 20% Tint, The dealer installed Heater Leather Katskin seats, and I put in an AppRadio2 w/ ARLiberator from my Note 2 (which I learned about in the audio section of this forum). I am trying to decide if I should throw the audio system from the SRT-4 into the FR-S since its nice equiptment and just laying around but I do not want to make this car start rattling to peices already and I dont want to add that much weight and it sounds alright as it is. I think it could def. use a small sub though.

I am not sure what constitutes being enough for a journal, but I would introduce myself here and post a few pics for those interested. I am getting new ideas for mods as I check out some of the other build journals and see what is coming available for this platform as it is growing quickly. I am hoping to do an intake / exhaust / and a 93 octane tune and a few small cosmetic things such as a filler plate for the coin tray or the kneepads or something like that just to customize it a bit.

I am going to hold off on the bigger projects for another year or so to see if we get a FI version as I would rather have a factory turbo with a 6MT and trade it in or see if we get a production version of the Supra based off this platform. So I am trying to be patient on the bigger projects.
