Goomba's Rocket bunny FRS build - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Goomba_james · 03-28-2013, 05:01 AM

Back in September when a picture of kei miura's frs popped up on my Instagram news feed rolling down the street looking so different and unique it caught my attention and I had to have it so I did everything I could to own own of these beauties!

Some of my previous cars

My srt4 it was black,tan, and Arizona green tea green may have seen as some of those colors as well

Well onto the goods!

December 18, 2012 when she arrived after about a month waiting after a mix up on cars

Within the week of owning this beauty I picked up my ksports

I couldn't stand looking at that bulky steering wheel de my fiancé treated me to a little present NRG short hub and quick release with one of my buddies company's deep suede wheel

It took a little over 3 months for my kit to get here I ordered it the day I got my car definitely worth the wait!

Finished rebuilding my lm20's

So I was going to wait for the following week to put the car together so I had days off next to each other but I had everything I needed in the garage so I got to work

First cut was the rear bumper

The first fender cut

Cutting the quarter's was a little nerve racking but the end result was worth it

Then it was time for the wing to be mounted

Everything pretty much mocked up and test fitted

Back from paint 6 hours later. It helps having a best friends as a professional painter haha

First panel going on

A lot of people showed during this build the final night of assembly was pretty much just an excuse for a party

When she first touched the ground I cannot begin to describe the feelings I had at this moment! Still had a few things left to do but it was 3AM and I had work at 8

This was the first drive this was one of the best drives I have ever had haha

It's amazing when your significant other has the same amount of passions for cars as you do! Wouldn't have been possible without her

Went and got my exhaust done still going to mess around with it some more till I get the perfect sound at least to me but it doesn't sound bad at all

We went and shot some photos that night

My front spacers finally came in after USPS lost them for 2 weeks my fitment is still far from where I want it but it will suffice until after this show season and I will rebuild my CCW

I have wanted one of these for awhile stoked to finally have one

I also lowered the front down about a half inch no more wheel gap

And that brings is to today thanks for checking it out guys and gals!

Seats,cage, and harness are up next should have all that done for wekfest LA

How large of spacers did you have to run to flush it out? Aren't you worried about your wheel bearings self destructing?
