Man any issues of this lugs on oem wheels? i thought no aftermarket lugs can work with oem wheels?

FRSTRM 07-20-2013 08:46 AM

No issues at all. The color can ware and fade, but I'm happy with them.

Going to pick up some VHT ENGINE METALLIC paint to get rid of the yellow in my engine bay. I may paint some of the bolts and washers too. Need to clean it up.

Oops, just bought an Invidia N1 Ti Tips exhuast system. Toyota owes me $600 anyway, so call it even.

I'm seriously debating between this exhaust, the Q300, and the Perrin 2.5" resonated...The main reason I'm considering Invidia is because they are a well known brand and their prices are really low.

What made you decide to go with the N1?

FRSTRM 07-23-2013 03:01 PM

Good reviews, good look, great price, awesome sound, decent power.

I looked a few others and the Invidia N1 just seemed like the best call.

If you want, I when I get mine installed I can show you whatever videos or pictures of it you want to see.

Thank you to @FT-86 SpeedFactory

My Invidia N1 Catback Exhaust came in super fast, hopefully can get them installed on Friday.

Wow! That was super quick! Definitely let me know what you think of the exhaust. I know it's gonna be a bit on the loud side, but what I really want to know is when you are up to speed on the highway can you hear it. I've heard that it doesn't drone and honestly I don't mind a loud exhaust as long as it isn't loud when I'm cruising. Also the silencers being included is really nice.

FRSTRM 07-26-2013 10:57 AM

Invidia N1 Exhaust going in today at @ptuning

IgnitionGundam 07-27-2013 01:37 AM

FRSTRM 07-27-2013 07:53 AM

Sorry, not many pictures recently - I've been super busy. Car show today though so hopefully I can get some things up here.

One of the best looking firestorms on the forum i reckon :)
Keep it up mate!

xXDeathMaliCeXx 08-05-2013 03:42 PM

Looks good! So how does the N1 sound? Much drone above music on the highway?

FRSTRM 08-05-2013 07:29 PM

I love the sound, yes, there is a little drone, but nothing unbearable - I guess it depends on your taste and tolerance. Also something you just get used to.

I love it though.

New wheels... but of course both sets of lug nuts I have don't fit. So now I have to wait another week to get them installed.

Just between you and me, they were a bit less than $1k for the set of wheels & tires. :)

Signed up to say I see this car just about every day where I live ;). Definitely noticed when you switched the rims to the ones you have on there now. How's the handling affected with them though? Are you planning to do anything with the power? You've got a good look going right now, nice car.

supra2nv 08-21-2013 12:45 PM

Antenna please.

That's not creepy at all. Lol, I really haven't noticed too much difference with the 19's, except possibly the weight. I recently got married and I definitely don't have any plans as of now, I may be done for a while. But if I win the lottery, I'm sure I'll have to disposable income :)

Ah, well I wasn't trying to be creepy. I just haven't ever caught you in the parking lot and I saw the ft86club sticker so I figured I'd just say hi here.
