Golfyankee2121's 2013 Argento FR-S Build Thread
https://www.flickr.com/gp/145611618@N06/0L8JMnWhat's up everyone? My name is Jimmy B, I am 23 years old, and this is my 2013 Argento Scion FR-S. I had another build thread on here, but it was getting out of date, and I wanted to create a new one, so here it is! I have had the car since January 1, 2014 and I have loved every minute of ownership. I have always been into cars, and loved the idea of modifying them to my liking. This is the first "tuner" car that I have owned, and the first car that I have been able to modify. Considering that fact, I was very in over my head at first, but this forum helped me immensely. In the last 2+ years of perusing this forum's various topics, I have learned so many different things about this car that I probably would have never known without it. With that being said, let the build list begin! A couple of recent pictures with current mods: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/<a da...uot;></script> https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8202/...75e50f52_b.jpg https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8824/...17c6c0f3_b.jpghttps://farm9.staticflickr.com/8288/...4a2c7e4a_b.jpg Build List: Performance: -Custom Muffler Delete -GrimmSpeed Cold Air Intake (Red Inlet Tube) -Rev Works Un-Equal Length Header -OpenFlash Tablet -Stage 2, 93 Octane Custom Tune via @Wayno Wheels/Tires: -XXR530 18x8.75" +33 (Flat Black) -Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 K120 245/35/18 -Muteki Lug Nuts (Red) Suspension/Brakes: -Eibach Pro Kit Lowering Springs -Whiteline Camber Bolts (Front) -Stoptech Street Pads (Front and Rear) Cosmetic (Exterior): -15% Tint -Bayson R Fender Garnish -HIC Window Visors -Valenti Tail Lights (Smoked) -Flat Black JDM Toyota Emblems -Smoked Side Markers/Reverse Light Bar -Satin Black Wrap (Roof, side mirrors, side body line under window's) -Perrin Shorty (2") Antenna -Rexpeed Wide Angle Mirrors (Blue Tint) -Rally Armor Mudflaps -6000K HID Headlights -LED Switchback Turn Signals -Diode Dynamics LED Reverse Lights -Diode Dynamics LED Tag Lights Cosmetic (Interior): -Diode Dynamics LED Map and Trunk Lights -Diode Dynamics GT86 Center Console Plate -Exogear iPad Mini Mount -WeatherTech Floor Mats -Black Shift Bezel -Black Traction Control Buttons -Black Air Vent Trim -Red Carbon Fiber Shift Boot from RedlineGoods.com -Blox Shift Knob Audio: -Kicker 10" Subwoofer -JL JX250 Amplifier Timeline below: The first day I had the car: https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8682/...cccab135_z.jpg It didn't take too long for the mod bug to bite me and once it did, I never turned back. My first mod was a muffler delete: 02/14/2014 https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8634/...f9bb1287_b.jpg Then came some Valenti Tail Lights: 06/07/2014 https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8690/...5aa7d5e0_b.jpg After that I had the tint, subwoofer and amp installed: 06/14/2014 https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7623/...ddd309ea_b.jpg A Perrin Drop In filter and Inlet Tube was next: 09/01/2014 https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8652/...bcc0b3df_b.jpg https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8599/...8918b2b2_b.jpg LED Bulbs and Center Console Badge from Diode Dynamics and Exogear iPad Mini Mount: 11/21/2014 https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8550/...3989444c_b.jpg https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8632/...220cf2b0_b.jpg New Wheels and Tires Installed: 02/28/2015 https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8804/...b551c34e_b.jpg https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8703/...50d31664_b.jpg After about 6 months with the inlet tube/drop in, I decided to go with a full CAI. I chose GrimmSpeed, and couldn't be happier with my decision! I also replaced my factory floor mats and upgraded to WeatherTech: 04/10/2015 http://www.ft86club.com/forums/attac...1&d=1429026550https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8751/...b4b93bac_b.jpg Next I bought an OpenFlash tablet from a fellow ft86club member for some performance gains!: 07/05/2015 https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8795/...61d10233_n.jpg Smoked my side markers and reverse light bar with Lamin-X film: 08/28/2015 https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8485/...97534a4e_b.jpg https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8229/...2f221369_b.jpg Rev Works UEL Installed, stage 2 tune flashed: 09/03/2015 https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8702/...1416fe81_b.jpg http://www.ft86club.com/forums/attac...1&d=1441560656 --Sound Clip-- [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yb-YukPDuEM"]Scion FRS - RevWorks UEL - Stock OP/FP/MP - Custom Muffler Delete - YouTube[/ame] Bayson R fender garnish installed: 11/01/2015 Installed interior trim pieces, shift knob, shift boot, wide angle mirrors, shorty antenna, and black badges: 01/22/2016 https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8862/...aa7ddd6f_b.jpg https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8792/...491982d5_n.jpg https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8788/...614af3d6_n.jpg Lowering springs, camber bolts and brake pads installed.

I will keep updating as more mods are made. Right now I don't have any more mods planned, but I am thinking about doing a 4.56 or 4.88 final drive swap to help out with acceleration. Damn those tall ass AT gears lol. Please feel free to ask me anything about my build. Thanks for looking, and have a great day!! :thanks: -J.B. https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#in...5b?projector=1 |

Looking good! would you be down to swap trunks? I have trunk with OEM spoiler on it and want one without spoiler.

Yeah I like the look of that one more than the other OEM version. I would be down to trade, but I don't have any idea how to remove the trunk. The other thing is that my trunk's hole where the license plate screws in are completely stripped and gone. So I basically have my license plate Velcro'd to my trunk via industrial strength Velcro haha :bonk::lol: I'd be down to trade though if you're still interested. I am actually down in Port Saint Lucie this week so let me know and we can potentially meet up. -J.B. |
Any chance you can dyno it?

FWIW I used "virtual dyno" a while back and used one of my data logs and it gave me around 175 to the wheels. I have no idea how accurate that actually is, but it gave me a rough idea. I can tell you that it pulls way harder than it did in stock form hahaha -J.B. |
Asking because i got almost your set up, excluding cai.
Hope you can get 200whp with 93oct, or almost |

Oh alright, I gotcha. Are you AT also? I really wanna do a 4.88 FD swap next. -J.B. |
