Okay cool! Stop by whenever.

We did hid headlights, led reverse lights, led license plate lights, led rear turn signals, led switchback (white when on, amber when turning) front turn signals, led interior light. We have Fortune Auto coil overs on it. We're still trying to figure out what wheels and aerokit we want to put on it. The big thing we are excited about is a Stepped Header, and full exhaust. all made here in good ol El Paso.

Im looking to do some exhaust work in the next month or so. Right now im looking into the new Borla system, but I deffinitely want to see what you guys come up with before I make any decisions. Do you have a time frame when the exhaust will be done?

We should have it done and dynoed in all trims ( stock header with our exhaust, our header stock exhaust, our header with our exhaust) so we can show all possible gains over base, the week of August 13th-17th.

Do you have a dyno at your shop, and if so how much do you charge for a baseline?

Nix-FRS 07-25-2012 10:44 AM

Sup guys! I got my FR-S in albuquerque on June 30th because **** Poe is just horrible! I'm in an ultramarine.

Hey Jon, what is your address so I can hit you up at your shop and see what you got.

No we do not have a dyno in house at this time. A good friend once described a dyno the best way I've ever heard it, "a dyno is a tool, nothing more than a $100k 10mm wrench. If you always find yourself needing it then its worth it". Lol

I can refer you to a place locally that does have a dyno and has great rates for 3 runs!

There are a few things to do here. There is a weekly car meet at Fox Plaza, called NightShift Nights.

There is Cars and Coffee the first saturday of each month.

There are a few local clubs that meet up different times of the week.

There are Time attack events at Arroyo Seco Raceway (ASR) in Demming New Mexico regularly.

We (TSI) are throwing a drfit event along side a car show September 8th at Cohen Stadium.

We (TSI) normally have cookouts/meets ever couple months at the shop.

On top of all of the above, we normally have quite a few customers with cool rides around each day.


Do any of you have a black one here on the east side? I saw one in my complex on Friday with plates good till 9/17/12

Nix-FRS 07-30-2012 10:19 AM

The only black one I've seen was a girl driving it.. far east

Jon@TrueStreetIndustries 08-04-2012 07:23 PM

Tonight is Cars & Coffee El Paso @ 7pm. Location is Kinley's Coffee and teas on Mesa by UTEP.

I also talked to the guy that sold us our FR-S, There will be a Raven, Asphalt, and Hot Lava coming in to D ick Poe soon. I know a lot of people have had bad experiences with D ick Poe, and that's unfortunate but i understand because I've spoken to many of the salesmen there prior to going up the chain. Gregory Dungy Is the "Scion Champion" of the dealer. He went above and beyond when we pre-ordered all the way up to delivery. I personally vouch for him. His direct cell Number is 915-204-9912. Give him a call or stop by and ask for him if you want a hassle free experience.

Ill second for Greg he sold me mine and he is by far the best car salesman i have ever delt with. great guy very easy to work with.

Nix-FRS 08-07-2012 11:34 AM

Damn I wish I had worked with this Greg person. When I walked in nobody even stood up they just said. "We don't have any", and that was that. Ahh well I'll be sure to speak to Greg if I need anything.

Nix-FRS 08-09-2012 09:04 PM

Nice meeting you all today at TSI! Can't wait for my hid's to come in.
