Getting Shredical with the FR-S

Figured I'd throw up a journal to log the mods and history of the second twin I've come to own.
estorm, but didn't want the curse of the po po that follows red cars around

Came with a TRD catback and factory center console armrest that were added by original owner.

Cool build. Got any more photos of your laminova cooler? Really interested in this setup. Is it custom or a ready to purchase kit?

First impression is, its a big step up from stock. Still fine tuning the gain and xover frequencies in the amp.

How secure is that laminova hanging off the coolant hose? Did you have to make a bracket to secure it or should it be fine being held in like that?

An additional update: I had to remove it and reinstall when I put in a new Koyo Radiator.

Hadn't updated the thread. Over the past few months made more mods.

Is there any chance you could provide better photos of how the full race shield is mounted? I bought it, but it came with no mounting hardware, so I'm going to need to figure something out.

Sick build!

Thanks,

I used these spacers and just get the appropriate Hex nut to secure it.

You'll need to cut holes for them to line up to the block. Might also need to trim the plate in a few places with a dremel.
