Goomba's Rocket bunny FRS build
 
Back in September when a picture of kei miura's frs popped up on my Instagram news feed rolling down the street looking so different and unique it caught my attention and I had to have it so I did everything I could to own own of these beauties!

Some of my previous cars

My srt4 it was black,tan, and Arizona green tea green may have seen as some of those colors as well

Well onto the goods!

December 18, 2012 when she arrived after about a month waiting after a mix up on cars

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...685C16C455.jpg

Within the week of owning this beauty I picked up my ksports

I couldn't stand looking at that bulky steering wheel de my fiancé treated me to a little present NRG short hub and quick release with one of my buddies company's deep suede wheel

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...B8C4E1D9F6.jpg

It took a little over 3 months for my kit to get here I ordered it the day I got my car definitely worth the wait!

Finished rebuilding my lm20's

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...6890BEBC47.jpg

So I was going to wait for the following week to put the car together so I had days off next to each other but I had everything I needed in the garage so I got to work

First cut was the rear bumper

The first fender cut
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...E5207E9DE2.jpg

Cutting the quarter's was a little nerve racking but the end result was worth it
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...E513DC7950.jpg

Then it was time for the wing to be mounted
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...68A3DA44D4.jpg

Everything pretty much mocked up and test fitted
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...7A865FBB45.jpg

Back from paint 6 hours later. It helps having a best friends as a professional painter haha
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...540F7E9A90.jpg

First panel going on
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...E5189304C5.jpg

A lot of people showed during this build the final night of assembly was pretty much just an excuse for a party

When she first touched the ground I cannot begin to describe the feelings I had at this moment! Still had a few things left to do but it was 3AM and I had work at 8
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...090763BC72.jpg

This was the first drive this was one of the best drives I have ever had haha
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...2878CE6F1F.jpg

It's amazing when your significant other has the same amount of passions for cars as you do! Wouldn't have been possible without her
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...ED2AC9FCE5.jpg

Went and got my exhaust done still going to mess around with it some more till I get the perfect sound at least to me but it doesn't sound bad at all
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...44D732DAC1.jpg

We went and shot some photos that night
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...564B013624.jpg

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...564F3B54D5.jpg

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...B170252E02.jpg

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...5D90F324C1.jpg

My front spacers finally came in after USPS lost them for 2 weeks my fitment is still far from where I want it but it will suffice until after this show season and I will rebuild my CCW
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...42C6159783.jpg

I have wanted one of these for awhile stoked to finally have one
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...FCD60AC35C.jpg

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...77961CF692.jpg

I also lowered the front down about a half inch no more wheel gap
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...775899260A.jpg

And that brings is to today thanks for checking it out guys and gals! :)

Seats,cage, and harness are up next should have all that done for wekfest LA

Looks amazing, I love it. How does it feel on the road compared to stock?

djdnz 03-28-2013 11:08 AM

You've got much bigger nuts than I. Congrats, looks very agressive! I bet it gets a lot of looks while driving

NemesisPrime909 03-28-2013 11:17 AM

great photos man

you are also very lucky that you have to support of your significant other.

post_break 03-28-2013 11:17 AM

How large of spacers did you have to run to flush it out? Aren't you worried about your wheel bearings self destructing?

Looks awesome build, I really like the shot with the city lights.

L3P47 03-28-2013 01:26 PM

Looks aggressive as hell! I just can't bring myself to cut my car though...

whathedunk 03-28-2013 01:46 PM

What are the specs of your ccws if you don't mind me asking

Kiznasty 03-28-2013 01:58 PM

looks great! :coolpics:

Goomba_james 03-28-2013 02:42 PM

Thanks a lot fellas glad you guys are diggin it
It definitely turns heads while driving :)
my wheel specs are
17x9.5 -13 with a 25mm spacer
17x10.5 -19 with 25mm spacer
I plan on buying LM5 faces after wekfest and get them negative offset so I won't have to run spacers
But, No I'm not worried about my wheel bearing exploding I have ran spacers numerous times and have never had any negatives from doing so
Thanks again fellas stay tuned as more parts will come in!
I will also be in Vegas tomorrow night for the Lowballers x Royal origin Anniversary meet if you guys are in the area

HATED1 03-28-2013 02:51 PM

Thanks for a great write up and build thread! Looks great! I appreciate the photos and the whole process of showing what you did.

6-Shift 03-28-2013 03:09 PM

This thing is freaking insane! That S2000 is sick too. How does it drive? Any plans for serious performance mods?

THMotorsports.com 03-28-2013 06:57 PM

I was in PHX visiting family and saw your car at the Pavillion on 3/23. I was talking with the other AZ 86 folk and went to find you after you rolled in but was short on time and had to bounce. Took a few pictures before I bailed. Looks great!

R2RO 04-01-2013 09:03 PM

Loved it since the first time i saw it on instagram awhile back, nice car man :)

im2fr-s 04-01-2013 09:32 PM

Awesome built man! I met you last week at the Low Baller / Royal Origins meet, good talking with you and hope to see that bad ride around here more often.

Turbowned 04-05-2013 12:39 PM

Looks just like the demo car - super sexy!! I want to see it with Toyota badges, that would be perfect :)

Goomba_james 04-05-2013 05:14 PM

Thanks guys I appreciate the support!
My steats should be here next week :)
But after I'm finished wih the interior I will be going e85, HKS header, and few other minor things.
The car only needs a slight HP gain for myself and it will be the funnest car I have owned
