thecarfilmer's Halo FR-S Build - "Angel"
Before making this thread, I was hesitant to make one but I figured it would be cool to see the progress I've made on my car since day 1. Here goes nothing:
As she sits currently: https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3730/3...cb2679f4_c.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2585/3...1f039bf5_c.jpg ---------- 10/10/2015 - This was a gift for my 18th birthday from my mother and kind of a gift from my dad who passed away not too long ago a few months before (we traded in his pickup truck for this car). 2016 Scion FR-S 6AT in Halo (Mom had to drive it back from the dealer so no stick lol) https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7380/...4f61204b_z.jpg As you can see, she even got a car bow. She planned a whole surprise party with our family and friends and boy I was excited. ---------- 10/11/2015 - Got to drive it home for the first time and fell in love with the car right away. Went on a drive around town later that day. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7790/...41d98d4a_z.jpg ---------- 10/12/2015 - Had to do a quick photoshoot of the car right when I got out of class. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7009/...a0a18d15_z.jpg ---------- 10/25/2015 - Stock exhaust was too quiet so I ordered an Invidia N1 off of fteightysix. Took a while to install because the stupid rubber hangars didn't want to cooperate with us. https://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7460/2...f75c7635_c.jpg ---------- 11/30/2015 - Ordered a nice set of Valenti CR Taillights to compliment the white body paint. https://c6.staticflickr.com/8/7614/2...4d3bfc23_c.jpg ---------- 1/18/2016 - Got bored one day so I got some plastidip and dipped the badges black. I liked how they turned out but I think I could've done better. https://c6.staticflickr.com/8/7715/2...27e5908d_c.jpg ---------- 3/8/2016 - I bought an Invidia Catless front pipe to compliment the N1 2 weeks prior the installation date. Definitely louder and drones a lot more but it doesn't bother me. The bolts where the midpipe and overpipe meet were the hardest to unscrew. Took a lot of shots of WD-40 to get it loose. Picture of catless front pipe compared to stock FP https://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7119/2...408cd6ea_c.jpg Catless FP installed onto the car https://c8.staticflickr.com/8/7096/2...580cdd7e_c.jpg ---------- 3/12/16 - Bought an HKS Drop In Filter from someone on FB. Noticed better acceleration and sound. Idk if it was me but I did feel a slight increase in torque. https://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7120/2...1b224834_c.jpg ---------- 3/17/2016 - Ordered some GCS Paddle Shifter extensions in black. Definitely looks and feels better than the stock paddles. https://c8.staticflickr.com/8/7559/2...d19da5bb_c.jpg Installed: https://c3.staticflickr.com/8/7339/2...b455b057_c.jpg ---------- 4/6/2016 - A friend of mine offered to give me his visors for free so I took them. https://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7453/2...4e065d58_c.jpg ---------- 4/13/2016 - Ordered Helix clear side markers off of fteightysix. I almost messed up the installation on the driver side and bent the clip that holds the marker in place. I was able to finish the whole thing in about 45 min. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7064/...584d1325_b.jpg ---------- 5/13/16 - Finally found a set of Vordoven Forme 9's that I picked up locally! Was originally looking for Hyper Black but I decided to be different and get Matte Bronze! Specs of the wheel are 18x9.5 +34 with 225/40R/18 tires! https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7465/...072400e6_h.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7330/...89229632_h.jpg ---------- 5/20/16 - My girlfriend wanted to buy me something for my car as a 1 year anniversary gift and she got me a set of black Winjet headlights! https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7644/...7f8b9cd1_b.jpg ---------- 5/28/16 - Found a pair of BRZ fender garnishes with chrome trim to replace my boring looking 86 piston garnish. https://c6.staticflickr.com/8/7731/2...ac97bc98_z.jpg ---------- 5/31/16 - My RB style lip arrived from Ikon! Thanks to Angela for being so helpful throughout the whole process! https://c8.staticflickr.com/8/7564/2...36dfd78b_z.jpg Test fit! https://c8.staticflickr.com/8/7074/2...c464fbf1_c.jpg Also had my friends help me wrap my roof in gloss black vinyl! Yes I know, the antenna is still white.. https://c6.staticflickr.com/8/7378/2...4d598697_z.jpg ---------- 6/1/16 - Went to my girlfriends house today and worked on my car there. She helped me with some parts like removing and installing the bumper. Took about 4 hours to do the whole shabang. Putting the bumper back on was the hardest part. I have some open gaps that I need to fix. Here are some pics! https://c3.staticflickr.com/8/7393/2...fa20c96a_c.jpg https://c5.staticflickr.com/8/7414/2...0ab5f75a_c.jpg https://c3.staticflickr.com/8/7298/2...6e398a22_c.jpg ---------- 6/25/16 - A good friend of mine sold his coilovers to me for a great price! Had to take em :). Hopefully I will install them this weekend! https://c5.staticflickr.com/8/7418/2...ca4d95c1_c.jpg ---------- 7/1/16 - Tried to install my coils at my friends house today. Unfortunately we had so much trouble getting the rear struts out (we did something wrong, but its fixable). Took like 3 hours to get the fronts off and like 4 hours trying to get the rears out LOL. But it looks good in the front though. Lowered about 2" in the front https://c3.staticflickr.com/8/7611/2...8a63b5c6_z.jpg https://c8.staticflickr.com/8/7394/2...585fdfdc_z.jpg ---------- 7/3/16 - My friend and I were able to continue the installation of putting coilovers on my car. Figured out what we did wrong and took us about less than 2 hours to finish the rears. 2" drop all around, need to get an alignment as it pulls to the right a bit. https://c1.staticflickr.com/8/7446/2...d1ee3864_c.jpg ---------- 7/25/16 - Got my windows tinted at a place near my house. Got 20% on the sides and back window. Made a huge difference for the look of the car! https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8690/2...14ff9a1c_c.jpg ---------- 8/4/16 - Purchased a brand new Gruppe-S UEL Header off a member here on the forums. Got here within a week and it is here now! I can't wait to get it installed tomorrow! https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8544/2...72870e2f_c.jpg ---------- 8/17/16 - I ordered a Legsport duckbill spoiler from Kami Speed and it finally arrived today! Had to wait a month for it! It's currently getting painted by a friend of mine so it should be on very soon. Here's a test fit! https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8541/2...8c0cdb28_c.jpg ---------- 8/21/16 - Got my spoiler back from my friend today! Had him paint it to match the color of the car and the match is SPOT ON. https://c2.staticflickr.com/9/8532/2...c8e926c9_c.jpg ---------- 10/4/16 - Its been a while since I last did something to my car. Bought myself a Perrin Inlet Hose in red to add a little something to the engine bay. Probably cant see it but oh well! https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8274/2...29fbe02e_c.jpg ---------- 10/11/16 - Welp, today is my 19th birthday. Bought a few items this past week. First I purchased the FT86SF Strut Bar and Tower Brace from a user on the forums. Today, I bought a set of Enkei RS05RR's in silver from a friend of mine. https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7779/3...dca93ff9_c.jpg https://c8.staticflickr.com/6/5733/2...82848869_c.jpg ---------- 11/9/16 - Ordered the Greddy Revolution RS single exit exhaust and it came in a week. Slow week! Finally got it in the mail and got it installed. When I thought the N1 was loud, this is LOUDER. https://c8.staticflickr.com/6/5827/3...9c6b0f89_c.jpg https://c3.staticflickr.com/6/5821/3...b787a6f2_c.jpg ---------- 11/29/16: GOT STATE REFFED. >:( ---------- 1/30/17: Purchased a pair of TRD style aero fender fins from Bayson R. Nice fit, could be better. Wrapped them in matte black vinyl b/c I didn't like the glossy plastic look. ---------- 2/10/17: Purchased a Velox splitter with the race upgrade off of a friend and got canards as well to prep for track season. Installs done at The Racers Line in Concord, CA. https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2132/3...1819c957_c.jpg Looking forward to doing more mods onto my car! Hopefully I don't do everything too fast or else I'd run out of things to do. Also, since I'm a college student, I don't think I'll spend too much money in a short period of time lol. As of this posting, I have about 6,400 miles (6,960 as of 5/21/16) (7250 as of 5/29/16) (8820 as of 6/27/16) (9275 as of 7/5/16) (10475 as of 7/26/16) (11080 as of 8/4/16) (12055 as of 8/18/16) (14150 as of 10/4/16) (16060 as of 11/9/16) (20700 as of 2/15/17) on the odometer. Hope you guys enjoy this thread! Will update more when something new is done. Thanks for looking! |
Subbed! Can't wait to see what you've got in store for your Halo Angel
|
I too look forward to your progress!
|
Very nice, i think some of your pictures went boom
|
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhshiet look who made a build thread.
|
Excuse me if i'm mistaken, but did you attend bay farm elementary, LMS, or AHS? I thought I recognized harbor bay parkway in one of your shots, but then again Alameda has plenty of FRS's. I have a handful of friends that attended bay farm up to AHS and Encinal. I feel like I've seen your name somewhere on IG just because of that yellow murc your family owns. Not sure if I met you in person. However, I attended CCS before I graduated HS in '14.

Went to LMS, then AHS afterwards! I go over to Harbor Bay sometimes when I'm in the mood to go some shooting. The Murci has been long gone, miss it so much :cry: .
