They ended up being fine and I sold them to a friend of mine.

Yeah, Ken was great. Really helpful and even installed the lighting for me when we met up. Just recommended him to a friend of mine who got his FRS a few days ago.

In other news, I redded out my taillights over the weekend. There were some slight paint cracks from getting a little too impatient with the coats, so I'm gonna wetsand and polish them up one of these days. I also got around to shaving the FRS emblem as well.

Finally got my coilovers from BC Racing yesterday. Ordered Extreme Low's with 14k/16k Swift springs through @Circuit Motorsports,
would definitely recommend them for ordering suspension goodies, they were really helpful, and the customer service was great.

Naturally, my excitement lead me to install the coils last night. Took me a few hours, would've been shorter, but I was playing with
the Whiteline camber bolts, and ended up giving up on putting them on due to the locknut not threading on. Everything else was a
breeze, and I got everything buttoned up in just about 2.5 hours of wrenching. Definitely helped that I looked at @DarrenDriven's
DIY on removing the OEM suspension before I started on installing the coilovers.Also took it in for an alignment at Firestone this
morning, had all of the toe zero'd out, and the camber evened up. Ended up with somewhere in the neighborhood of -3.0 degrees
in the front and -4.0 degrees in the rear. Gonna look into investing in LCA's of some sort to take out some of the negative rear camber.

Excuse the toning, taking these pictures from my Instagram. Been too lazy to really take out my DSLR due to the rain starting to come in.

Thanks! I've been appreciating all of the help, and even calling me to keep me updated with my order status. I'll have to take some pictures with my actual camera sometime this weekend, hopefully the weather clears up a bit.

moomoopanda · 10-21-2013, 12:34 PM

Been enjoying the new coils and what not. Tried on a friends NUE's for a few days, then ended up trading with John for his LM Reps temporarily. Need to order new tires and I'd like to get a front lip of some sort...

Man that sucks about the arson thing. But beautiful FR-S

moomoopanda · 10-31-2013, 04:20 PM

Originally was gonna keep using the STR's for the winter, but decided that I really wanted wheels, so I ordered some Wedsports thanks to @RavSpec. They were very helpful and the ordering process was a breeze.

Ended up putting on my Whiteline camber bolts and raising the coils about an inch to where they sit now. Gonna see if I need to make anymore adjustments, then go get an alignment.

yberther · 11-01-2013, 04:42 AM

Wow, that looks excellent!

What size wheels and tires?

moomoopanda · 11-01-2013, 11:21 AM

Thanks! They're 17x9 +35 Wedsport TC105N's with 245/40 Federals @yberther

Another picture with some of the fall colors.

yberther · 11-01-2013, 06:47 PM

Damn dude, a friend got em in 18's, but this makes me want to keep with 17's and go wider

not too harsh with this setup in the Seattle area?

haha. It's not too harsh imo, I have pretty aggressive springs and valving on my BC's, but I like stiff cars so...

Picked up a front pipe and track pipe from John last weekend, so Eva sounds much better now. Also got an alignment last week, so everything rides wonderful. Tons of grip and I don't even have good tires yet...

moomoopanda · 11-13-2013, 05:29 PM

Not sure where to go with the car for new modifications.. But here's a picture from last weekend.

moomoopanda · 11-25-2013, 02:13 PM

Picked up a Bride Zeta 2 last week, and got my rail in from @Evasive Motorsports's on Friday. Also traded my Nardi for an suede OMP Corsica, and bought a NRG Slim Quick Release.

moomoopanda · 12-07-2013, 01:18 AM

Don't think I've been up to much lately. Lowered the car more and picked up a really cheap BRZ bumper locally. Test fitted it, and will be dropping the bumper off for paint on Monday.
