Great Odin's Raven! ~Null

Hello everyone! My name is Brandon and I want to document the build of my 2013 Raven FR-S that I am calling "Null". My wife and I picked up the car May 11th of this year from Wondries Toyota in Alhambra Ca. I can't wait to update the thread when I upgrade anything, which probably won't be too often lol. Without further ado, here she is on the night we picked her up:

Like I mentioned in my intro to the forum, my wife couldn't wait to put cheek prints on it apparently!

Thanks for looking! I'm excited to have this car after so many years of not owning anything I could mod! See you at 86Fest! :burnrubber:

Looking forward to pics after the suspension install...

Some redout or darker tails would look killer on your raven...

Trust me I'm looking forward to pics too haha!

I'm going to be going with the Valenti smoked tails eventually. I love the modern look they bring to the rear. My plan is mostly black, with some flat black, carbon, and red accents where appropriate. I'm not one for body kits, but I would love a diffuser, duck bill spoiler, and front lip in carbon! Long term plans lol

I finally got the suspension installed! My room mate and I worked on it Saturday morning and it took us about 3 hours. Not too bad at all!

Here it is in progress... No spring compressors needed!

Here are the finished shots! I will take any picture requests as soon as I can!

I might do a 5mm spacer in the rear, but it's no biggie. I love the look of it, and really can't wait to do tint next weekend! :party0030:

Hey guys here is the latest update... got my tint done!

Went with limo in the rear and sides, and 30% front windows. Almost all ready for 86fest!

Let me know what you guys think!

nicely done, one of my favorite XXR wheels..

Those wheels look great. Nice looking car!

Hey guys! I haven't updated in a while, so I figured I'd share! I got my tail lights from Valenti installed! I really like the look of them and can't wait to rewire them properly. Right now the triangle lights up with the v. I also have the front turn signals, but I need to buy or trade for a low profile jack lol... Let me know what you think!

Nicely done man! looking good.

Also, XXr's are just an easy win for our car.

Looks good man. How dark is that tint? Get some clear sidemarkers! If only you were local, I have an extra low pro jack I need to get rid of :c

Haha thanks! Ya we got really lucky with these wheels!

The tint is limo in the rear, 30% front. Ya I want to get smoked side markers. Dang, ya I'm still looking for one

any rubbing... and what was the dropp .. MAY STEAL this set up for my raven .. still looking around for suspension ect.

I finally got around to installing my front turn signals! I ended up getting the smoked that match the valenti smoked tails. Install was painless with the included instructions. Pictures sucked though. Here she is as of today!

I really need to get a smoked side marker pretty soon! Oh ya... for anyone who cares, I ordered my first exhaust component today!!

I bought the Invidia N1 catback in Stainless from Genome Tuning. I can't wait until it arrives so I can take pics and video of each step in the exhaust's development. I also really need to do a proper photoshoot... all I have is the Iphone.

Looks sick, I am planning on doing the Valenti tail + 3rd brake light combo you have on my C'thulhu (WRB BRZ) at some point. Maybe after I do some suspension work first! :)

Friedricr- zero rubbing. These are eibach sport line springs, I forget the drop but you can look it up. Lol use whatever setup you please! I'm posting all this to give people ideas or help them visualize their own build.

Turkish- thanks! Ya I have really enjoyed these tails so far! They really give it a futuristic sporty look! So many options! Lol luckily all of them will make your car cooler, no matter what order you go in.

my brother has the same exact wheels on his is300

It has been a while since I have updated on my car, and between then and now, I have installed the Invidia N1 and also purchased the OpenFlash Tablet. I am very happy with both products, and can't wait to finish the exhaust in the future! I am unable to access the pictures I have of the exhaust install, but I have some recent shots of the car taken today. These were taken after her first clay bar and wax. So smooth!

Got any pics of those front turn signals when they're not lit up?

Wow I'm really sorry I didn't see your request! I'll post pics tomorrow!

Looks good! :)

BTW, I used to work at that Dealership HAHA.

As requested, here is a shot of the front signal unlit.

I got these from Zeta Performance, but I bought them while they were at a booth at 86Fest. Their site doesn't appear to be functioning, so I can't offer any advice as to if they are still available or where they can still be purchased.

I like them a lot, and they blend perfectly with the looks of the Valenti tails.

Haha that's cool! At least I hope it is... :eyebulge:

Here's a few more shots of the signals, after washing the car. Sorry for double posting. Is that OK in my own thread?

looks really good black on black...

Thanks! Here's the tails rewired.

One last thing... just ordered the OPENFLASH HEADER!!! I absolutely cannot wait to get that thing!! I'm like a kid again! :cheers:

I wouldn't go back for service if I were you.... LOL

Dude your car looks super clean, it's like 1 awesome "coherent" package! :p

Grtz

Car looks awesome man!

Quick question: With your N1 did you have to get longer rubber hangers for the exhaust tips to not hit the bumper? I have the N1 on my car and I notice that it is too close to the plastic bumper piece and can rattle a lot

Thanks so much guys! Sorry I don't respond as often as I should!

BTW with the N1, I didn't have to get any other hangars. They both fit with enough clearance. You can try loosening the exhaust farther up and adjusting your tips, then tighten everything down. This advice is 2 1/2 months old now though...

Here's how she looks so far!

The black on black theme looks super!

Man, that is a great looking car. I'm not usually a fan of all black builds, but you nailed this one.

Any plans to swap headlights? The spec d smoked headlights might go great with this.
