Well i guess I'm BACK
 
I honestly never thought i'd be back here again, never say never :bonk:.
__________________________________________________ _____________

Back in 2013 I bought a limited BRZ, i absolutely loved that car it went from SC to Turbo and many other modifications then i made the poor decision of trading in the brz for a new style WRX...long story short sold the WRX after 6 months and bought a Focus St...yes another mistake.

Finally i came to the realization that i wanted something more fancy.

I ditched Subaru and Ford and joined the German dark side.

I bought a 2014 Audi S4 (used)

Sold that and bought my first brand new Audi 2017 TTS after a year.

Sold that and bought a 2018 Audi RS3

Sold that and bought a 2017 Porsche 718 S (by far my favorite car of all times)

The plan was the keep the Porsche forever...however...life happened got the old lady pregnant...Get this bought the Porsche in May of 2019 she got pregnant the following week...needless to say i had to get rid of the Porsche for a family car, no back seat.

I enjoyed the Porsche for 6 months and bought a "family car" 2018 Audi S5 sportback.

Needles to say i was missing the Porsche and wanted a project car.

So here it is, bought a 2013 FR-S with 77K miles, in absolute mint conditions, it was owned by an older gentleman from day one, never modded and did all the maintenance at a Toyota dealership, clean carfax too, bought it for $11,500 which is a bit high but here in Oklahoma the market its not that great, plus the car is in excellent conditions, i don't mind rewarding the old man.

My plans are to SC with innovate, just because the S5 is already turbo charged, and i feel like the brz/frs engine benefits more from a SC, im not trying to make huge gains.

What else do you guys recommend? What has changed from 7 years ago?

9 cars in 7 years? That's interesting... I think... :iono:

Why the innovative kit? Why not the Edelbrock or Harrop if you want a positive displacement kit?

I would guess expensive.

Surprised you went with the '13, was it because it was the closest to your price or was that all that was available? Has the recall been done?

Irony in the NOOWIFE personalized plate. Nice rides!

I also like the debadging work on the FR-S.

From my small research the innovative sounds the best SC whine wise.

But im all ears on recommendations, im new to this.

Hah from experience it's a pain loading a toddler back there, but infinitely better than walking.

Just think about the taxes every time.

Honestly. I would have kept the cayman. Car seats can go in the front passenger seat you know.
