Ohh snap, it's an FRS!

Yes folks, it is time I started my journal. Been lurking for awhile and have had my Argento FRS since Aug. No need for pics just yet, everyone knows what a stock Argento looks like. I have a long list of mods i will get to, that is when i will post pics.

I will rant and rave on my journal about my everyday experience in my ride instead of posting in the main forum, and trust me do i have some stories already!

BY the way, i live in North County San Diego with wed-fri off, so if your are in town, hit me up, first round is on me.

Updates soon.

I get a lot of attention too,I then say It's a scion .

Still make me laugh considering that I almost purchased a bmw instead of this car. Now just don't tell Toyota cause they'll start marking the shit up out of them.

I live in Fallbrook

Here's my silver FRS

Just change all my fluids at 5000 miles. I had already did my break in oil at 1000 with Mobil 1 and really did not like the oil.

I used Redline mt90 for the tranny and Motul 300 for the rear diff. For oil, i went with GC 0w30.

Drained both the tranny and the diff, they looked good, but the magnetic plugs were disgusting!!! Glad they did their job because i could not imagine that crap floating around!!

I took a little trip to Vegas the next day (600mile round trip) and let em tell you the car was much smoother. Shifting was butter and the rear end felt smooth. The car responded a little better and i am glad i did the change.

For those thinking about doing it, dont what, it was well worth it!
