Nearly Completed my Firstorm Build - Lots of Pics
This is a fun car to mod. Parts have been for the most part engineered to be easily replaced (though hard to get). Got a lot of info from the great folks on this board. Thank you!!!

WOW! Absolutely SPECTACULAR! I applaud! This gives me a clear goal in how I'd like my FRS to look when I get her. Not exactly the same, but certainly taking ideas off of your build!

Amazing! :happy0180:
Tell us more about that radar detector hard mount. I've hard wired, but my suction cups suck. Love to find an alternative. |

Only when braking hard. The strut tower has a built in Brake Booster Brace that gives great pedal feel under heavy braking. Even when pushed hard around corners I can't tell if the brace is helping because I made too many changes at once. Wheels, Strut and Springs.

No. I have to replace the whole unit. Not worth it.
