DIM's Whiteout build.
 

So I decided to make a thread after purchasing my brand new FR-S on May 18, 2013 with the odometer reading 41miles. :) I'm officially part of this forum after being a member for almost a year.

People are always going to have thier own opinion on cars. If you think the Celica was a nice car then that's all that matters. Best of luck with your build.

Congrats! I owned three 7th gen Celica's and loved all of them! You've probably seen me on newcelica.org :)

Yeah, that's true. But thanks, it's gonna be a good fresh start! :D

Ahh, a former NC.org member! What was your username?

MY GOD! Its already been a year since I got my FR-S!

Welcome to the forum :happy0180:

Same username. Yup I've been a member there for 11+ years! I originally bought a 2000 GT when they first came out in 2001. Then bought a 2003 TRD GT...then a 2003 TRD GT-S. I seriously loved (and still do) those cars!

:( I used to own a Jap Spec Toyota Celica (the ones that had 147kw with TRD intake and TRD exhaust) in my uni days. The day i sold it and the buyer collected it and drove away from the train station where we met, i started crying. Seeing your Celica like that made that feeling come back :( :( :(

Back in 1975 I had a 1974 Toyota Celica put on over 150,000 miles before the engine (18R) gave-up in 1979. It was a great car, really liked it

@DIM: Are those LEDs under your turn signal? Never seen that before.

Welcome aboard !!!

So, I just saw an FR-S in the parking lot that has the LED strip as well on the bottom bumper. Is this suppose to be equivalent to the BRZ LED daytime running lights?

Oh, and welcome! :D

Thanks, feels like I should of waited for the '14 model, but needed a car asap. And can't believe this cars been out for over a year now!

Ahh, I remember you now. I just did a quick search on you lol. I still do miss my Celica, I'll probably be making a small shadow box of my left over parts...lol.

Sounds like you had a beauty. :) And seeing this thread makes me sad cause my Celica, but even happier cause my FR-S. :D

I've always wanted a 1stgen and still do!

Yess I suppose it's equivalent to the BRZ, it was a dealer add on. They charged me $400 for them! :mad0260: But I didn't feel like waiting weeks for another Whiteout in my area. But I'll be ditching them pretty soon and getting some OEM fog's . :)


Thanks! :D

And look what just came in today. :D

I'll be upgrading to a BRZ from a 2000 celica GT early next calendar year. I'm still putting up with them oil consumption problems :\

$400? damn... rip!

Nice car though.

:thumbdown: Saw an FR-S here at work with those as well. Not sure how I feel about them.

enjoy your new car! your celica looked good btw!

Thanks! :)

UPDATE

Filled her up for the first time!

LOL i use to fill up with Shell V Power 98RON (93AKI) when i got my car. And it consistently gets about 10L/100km (24mpg) in commute traffic. I switched to BP ultimate (dont know if you have it over in the states), and the car now gets 9L/100km (26mpg) in commute traffic.

UPDATE!

Finished up the steering wheel! :D

Wow great work!, where did you get the badge for the steering wheel? also was it hard to do?

Also congratz on your new car , i know how you feel as i am too a new owner

Thanks! :) It's not really hard at all, just need to take your time and be careful. I almost fcked up but got lucky. I got the badge from eBay.

Congrats and welcome to the owners club :D I'm liking what you've done already and so quick lol.

BTW, you gotta change your title under your name and take out the word "Future" haha :D

Thanks! :)

I know, I still some stuff coming in, just trying to make my FR-S different from the others around here lol. I'm gonna be broke soon. :( And I totally forgot to change that, I need to think of a good one!

i had a carbonblue gts, loved it! hence the name lol

First post also updated!

sad to see what happened to your Celica. My Girlfriend owns one and I absolutly love it, especially when you can drive it on mountain roads where you really can use the engine to rev up high. So I'm always a bit torn between taking her car for a ride or mine ;-)

Anyway, good choice with the FRS, as I think it share quiet a few parts of the Celica's spirit. Looking forward to see how your car will change over the time. Guess the Enkei Wheels did not survive the celica? Or why did you not take them over to the FRS?

Yeah, it was sad to see my Celica go. I'm guessing your girlfriend has a T-Sport? I miss Lift a lot lol, and it had good handling for what it is.

And as for for my RPF1's, 2 were damaged pretty bad and 2 were untouched. :( So I'm trying to find a shop to see if anyone can repair them.If there not repairable, I'm debating to get the same ones or something different; cause I loved the way they looked and how light there were.

Yes, it's a T-Sport. I made sure back then when she bought the Celica (5 years ago) that it would be a TS ;-) it was a used one and only about 2k more than a "normal" T23. She then told me some years later that she's so happy I pushed her to the TS as she loves the high reving engine.

The RPF1 look awesome on the FRS, so if you can repair them for a reasonable price you definitifly should do it. If not, well, there are alot choices out there that look good on the FRS aswell:-)

Added Toyota caps until I can get some better wheels.

can you link me to where I can get the toyota caps please

where did u get ur car shade lol looks cool

can you please tell me where you got that sunshade for your car. I wasn't able to find out anything that says it fits SCION FRS.

Holy Crap another NC.org member!:D

Do you know what the official Toyota part number is the steering wheel badge?

Thanks to @ModBargains & @Beat-Sonic for the Antenna & Roof spoiler!

Looks good glad you like it!
