Upgrading a newly leased FR-S
Hey all!
Just leased a '16 Halo White FR-S in Santa Barbara, CA! Coming from a '14 Focus ST (which I finally was awarded lemon law for), I won't bother preaching to the choir about how an underpowered sports car > an overpowered grocery getter any day. The passion is BACK! Not since my highschool days in my (obnoxiously loud and dropped) Del Sol have I felt this passionate about my daily driver. This is what a car should be (well, minus the anemic stock engine power) Couple of questions off the bat: The engine ticks at idle. Sounds like a belt/cog is tapping something. Not horribly loud but noticeable, especially for less than 100mi so far. Anyone else? It's a lease but I def. want to mod. A local friend is parting out his BURZ and offering me first dibs! I'm considering his barely used Berk front pipe and Perrin cat back. Not sure if the header and subsequent tune are worth it for a lease. Thoughts? Anything else that's easily bolt-on/bolt-off you would put on the must have list? Dealership claims the spoiler would be > $1k painted & installed. JESUS. Anyone selling a halo white spoiler? Short ram intake. Worth it? Easy enough to return to stock? Anything you wish someone would have told you at the beginning? Jxn |

1. Drop in filter
2. Open flash tablet 3. ? That's my recommendation. |

It starts off easy, with the simple drop in filter or intake what have you.... Before you know it, you will be dreaming about compressor wheels and header porn. God speed, sir. But really, ask the dealership to be safe. I don't know much about leases, but could they be ****s and say you voided X warranty on specific component which is a violation of the lease because the car should remain under warranty for the duration of the lease? Check out question number 5 https://www.toyotafinancial.com/pub/...s/buy_or_lease Not sure it would change anything, but they do specifically ask about modifications

someone's been watching The Smoking Tire...(Burz)
But, mod to your hearts content. First mod should be a tune(openflash tablet) After that, wheels, tires, suspension, exhaust etc...lol, theres so much to do. Tune though, for sure. Also, the "ticking" is "crickets". Don't buy into the "bro, fillup your tank with shell on odd numbered days when there is a full moon" or "do a mix of 3 fuels and sacrifice an animal" to get rid of the sound. The sound is here to stay, so just accept it. |
