JoeBoxer FR-S build thread
 

Haven't done much so far just tint and led interior lighting. I have my subs and amp here just have had no time for install. My goals are to have a little faster and better looking car without going to extreme, i like the way it handles so much stock i'm scared of doing too much and throwing off the balance.

Thanks to Adam at No Limit Motorsport, Chris at TiTAN Performance, and all the guys at Motiv Concepts

Suspension: Tein H Tech springs with OEM camber bolts, SRT strut bar coming soon

Wheels/Tires: 18x8.75 XXR 530 +35 Hyper Silver, 235/40R18 Nitto Motivo tires

Performance: Motiv Concepts Test Pipe, Cosworth air filter, Perrin crank pulley, Visconti tune, exhaust coming soon

Exterior/Interior: 5000k HID Elite kit from TheRetrofitSource.com, clear corner lamps, Silverstar turn signal and back up bulbs, Perrin shorty antenna, JBL MSBassPro SQ subwoofer system

Pics? :thumbsup:

Not a build thread if there are no pics!!!

My bad i will take some tomorrow its looking all stock for now, forgot to mention the clear corners going on too. What do you guys think about doing the Interlagos in gold? I'm going to go with a white/gold theme so maybe getting the Beatrush chassis bracing instead of Cusco.

Pics finally

Can't wait for you to get your pipe... finally!!

:coolpics: how much is the Visconti ECUtek tuning kit ?

750 before shipping with the group buy. 1000 without basically.

Me too, you guys have been great I can't wait to represent Motiv. My next plans are HID's, Beatrush front strut bar, E85 tune once its switchable on the fly, and I plan on doing a brake rotor/pad upgrade probably after winter.

What do you guys think about cosmetics though? About the only thing i'm looking at are tailight overlays and possibly the carbon fiber Downforce front lip. Also clear front markers forgot about those.

Love those wheels. They're going to look awesome on my WRB. I'm also considering gold OZ superallegeratas

Thanks I tried to get a WRB BRZ but it was still on the dealer website after it was sold, then i found this one which was my other color choice.

beautiful. what % tint did you go with? very clean.

nice! is dat lowered already?

I really don't know it's as dark as legal here in arkansas. I think its 15 on the back and quarter glass and 25 on the side windows.
Not yet, springs should be here tomorrow.

Got some Audi exhaust tips put on, H Techs came in today hopefully can get them put on soon but the oem camber bolts are coming from california so it may be a while.

Perrin pulley is in the process of going on now, if we can get the damn bolt out.

Colored side markers look good on the white. I would leave them. Beautiful car!

Changing my wheels out for these XXR 530's. A lot of people have the 527's in 18x8.75 but i'm changing the theme of the car to a little more euro style.

I am considering the TRD spoiler as well for the rear I usually don't care for spoilers but I feel it needs something back there.
The Motiv test pipe is on also, for $400 in engine mods I am very pleased with the results. Tune still coming and will get the E85 tune when map switching is available on the fly.

Have you put these components in yet? Impressions?

I hear the JBL Cleansweep would be a great addition if using stock headunit

Not yet, went to my local installer saturday trying to get some ideas on how to mount everything in the trunk but the boss wasn't there so i've got to call him today for some advice.

I don't know why you would need a cleansweep there are some other integration devices that offer more options and tuning for the same or not much more money.

Got new wheels put on, XXR 530 and BRZ fender vents. HID's are next then i'm done for a while.

Looks awesome. Subscribed! Can't wait to see what you do next :thumbsup:

Those wheels look great on your car Joe!

Pics of the exhaust tips?

Where did you get your fender vents?

You can get them at Subaru parts online.

Tap'd from my G-Nex

Traded with a BRZ owner here on the forums

Some more pics in my wheel thread.

ordered some Philips Diamond Vision 9005's for my DRL/High beams and going with the Morimoto HID Elite kit from theretrofitsource.com for my low beams.

Are you lowered on Tein springs?

Looks great! Like the subtle change in the hood vents.

Morimoto HID's and clear corner lamps on the way, still waiting on camber bolts and reflash from group buy too.

Those look great in silver. The clear side markers will really clean up the front

Put some silverstar 7440's in the tailights and picked up some VHT NiteShades Red to paint the tails. I had put some led bulbs in the back up lights and while they looked good weren't bright at all so i put some silverstar 921's in there too.

I have a tech i used to work with that has done HID's and suspension work on my previous vehicles coming up tomorrow to install my springs and HID's. I ordered some led's for my clear corners too but they won't be here for a couple days. A local performance shop had them but tried to charge me $8 a bulb so i had to get them online for $2.59 a piece. I think i may put another pair of the 7440's in the front turn signals also.

thats funny as a brz owner I out on frs vents

Springs are on, i took out the cheap led's i put in the backup lamps because i couldn't see shit with them. I put silverstar 7440's in the rear turn signals and 921's in the backup lamps and got a lot more light. TheRetroFitSource 5000k HID Elite kit installed, clear corners coming soon just waiting on the led bulbs for them and i will put some silverstars in the front turn signals too. I got 9005 Philips Diamond Vision bulbs for the DRL/high beam and some stereo stuff coming too.

The 7440 silverstars in the rear turn signals blink white and the fronts will be white too i won't have any amber in the turn signals or marker lamps hopefully won't get any trouble with the 5-0

MSBassPro SQ subwoofer is here and some weird looking package from Westport CT, anybody heard of this @Visconti guy?

Pics of the HID's from theretrofitsource.com, clear corners from Carson Toyota also. I had 5 led bulbs in the corners here but changed to the 4 led the others were actually a little brighter than i wanted. No amber bulbs anywhere and legal here in arkansas.

Next mods are going to be a strut tower bar, possibly SRT since i can still mount the Crawford AOS with it. Crawford Gymkhana exhaust is on the list of possible items on the way too.

Got my subwoofer hooked up today, I'm glad i have some sound deadener on the way because this thing is amazing for what it is and especially for what i paid for it. I also updated the first post with an up to date parts list and some vendor info where i got my products.
