BDotG's - Asphalt Antibunny FR-S
 
Just figured I'd throw my car up here so I can actually start keeping track of how much i've done to this thing over time and how much money I am putting into it. hah.

Anyways, I picked up this lightly used 2013 FR-S in February of 2015 and have loved every day since.

Most Recent pics. Acquired some RPF1s! :D

New Parts have slowly trickled in.

Got my FT86 SF Race splitter the other day, but still waiting on the hardware to install it :p


Next up is a set of RPF1s. Although may wait til spring for those :/

Just DC Sport tips on the stock exhaust at the moment. Still trying to decide which exhaust system I want to go with.

LOLS2K 10-25-2015 03:18 PM

That's right. I think I read another thread where you posted about it. Looks way better than stock.

BDotG 10-30-2015 11:06 AM

Got my FT86 Speed Factory Splitter + Race Upgrade installed finally! :D Now I just need my passwordjdm canards to show up.

Looking great! I came from a 2010 Mazda3 and even it's modded for sport driving. It's a great step up from it.

BDotG 11-01-2015 01:10 PM

Picked up my Password:JDM Canards and installed them. Sploosh. Love them with the splitter.

Honestly from an aesthetic standpoint it looks sick as is...

Yeah, I think that is the problem haha it looks good and fills in the bumper, and the gains from a $1200+ exhaust system are just not noticible enough to justify it.

ET86 11-02-2015 03:48 AM

Looks good, nice and clean.

Wow I love those wheels! What kind of tires are you running?

Just the stock michelins :p 215/45/17 all the sad. Currently for sale. Going to be moving to some meaty tires.

Where's the wing at!?

Much like the exhaust, still debating on which one to get. Not a huge fan of large gt style wings, mostly because I just don't have the power behind it.

Kind of leaning towards the SARD wing. Need to get my RPF1s and new Tires first though.

BDotG 12-20-2015 06:00 PM

Finally decided on a spoiler, just went with a TRD rep off ebay. $170usd painted. The fitment is spot on and the color match is perfect. Super pleased with it.

New wheels should be here in January as well, currently rocking it in winter mode on the stocks.

BDotG 12-22-2015 12:03 AM

Started my interior work, starting with some carbon fiber wrap! Never attempted vinyl before but I am super pleased with how it turned out!

BDotG 12-23-2015 05:13 PM

So I decided on a change of plans, was going to buy some RPF1s in bronze, but the Canadian economy sucks so bad id be looking at close to $2000 for a 17x9 set.

I ended up ordering some XXR 550s in Bronze - 18x8.75, will be mounting some 245/40/18s on then (brand tbd).

Lots of travel plans in the new year so spending over $3000 on a wheel and tire set just does not make any sense.

Should be pretty pleased with them though!

What roof spoiler are you using?

It was an HIC rear roof visor. http://www.hicusastore.com/scion-frs...isor-frs-13-15 - I've since removed is as it was super annoying when driving as no water would come off the back :p

BDotG 12-29-2015 12:31 PM

Picked up a MTX-D oil gauge and vent pod, and after a huge ordeal involving wrong wires, a dropped, many frustrating hours, and cracked TRD sandwich plate (which I didn't notice until oil shot all over my engine bay) and the quick shipping from rally sport direct on a new beatrush plate I finally got it all working and sorted. HUGE THANK YOU to @malave7567 for the super deal on the gauge, and his incredible patience on helping to get it work.

Also got a cusco pedal for christmas :) Loving being able to attempt heel and toe downshifts now.

That sucks about the dropped and cracked TRD sandwich plate. I liked that little piece, lol.

I'm glad we finally got everything squared away for you.

BDotG 12-29-2015 11:01 PM

Got my new wheels today! Really excited to get them put on. Stupid winter.

Do you remember the vendor of the spoiler? I'd love to get one painted for that price!
Thanks!

@BDotG really digging this. It's funny, I hate the canards when you're looking at it from the front, but from every other angle, they look so good. Everything about this build is perfect. So simple.

Thanks! they are definitely not for everyone, and I totally agree from some angles they look weird, but they make the front end so aggressive.

Redid the tint on my tail lights. Full can of VHT nightshade & spraymax 2k.

I have noticed you posting on my thread for a bit but never looked at your car. It looks great! I recognize your car from the Velox Intagram post. I like the anti-bunny theme. Sub'd.

Thanks man! Lot's of inspiration from your ride for sure haha.

Went for a cruise with some local ft86 guys today. Was pretty great.

Been working on a few interior projects. The carbon vinyl I used really sucked and bubbled super quickly. Decided to do a high gloss black paint.

http://i.imgur.com/SWQF7a9.jpg

Also decided to mold out the coin tray on the center console and am going to get it wrapped in Alcantara. Same goes with the dash piece.

http://i.imgur.com/4Ia54DG.jpg

Also some other big news! Sold the XXRs and am picking up something magical on Saturday. All I can say is that I am going to be dropping 9 pounds per corner.

http://i.imgur.com/EiU5tg4.jpg

BDotG 03-25-2016 08:55 PM

The hype is so real. Picking these up tomorrow morning. If my math is correct (which it usually never is) but I figure about a 9-10 pound per corner difference between these and the xxrs with tires.

@Takumi788 I think you now have a west coast twin haha.

BDotG 03-26-2016 10:26 PM

YAY WHEELS!
