Chase Bays FR-S
We received delivery on our white FR-S about a month ago. And I personally...am in love. I'm always hating on the design of cars...old and new. To me, things seem poorly thought out far too often. Manufacturers will do a great job on the motor or exterior but a poor job on the interior or suspension. Or vise versa. There hasn't been a sub $30,000 car like this in years, if ever. I think all the incredible design features and benefits go without saying. You guys already know.

We were REALLY happy with how it turned out and REALLY happy with the article that was written. Chase Bays advertises on the back cover and we've known all the guys there for almost 10 years, it was nice to finally have a car featured in there. And the Spec Clutch Ad just so happened to be a neighbor. =) I don't know if my eyes are mediocre or if the print isn't very much readable. Maybe you can read it on here. If not then (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5584/...4de87c2f_b.jpg https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5557/...ae86904e_b.jpg https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3842/...631185d6_b.jpg https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3885/...d54df518_b.jpg https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5580/...73bb377a_b.jpg That's all for now, thanks for reading! |
Specs on the wheel!?

Very happy you guys got your hands on one, eager to see how it turns out

18x9.5 +30 all around. It's perfect. The only suspension change is Tein S.Tech's right now. We haven't installed our KW V3's just yet, we'll make it a little lower. This isn't going to be "stanced" or "hellaflushed". I'm ready for that trend to end. I want the the most amount of the 235 F and 255 R tires to grip. |

Sister lives in Pelham, next time Im in town will swing by the shop to say hi!

This looks promising. Nice wheels. Hope you keep the mud flaps. :wub:
|
Am I correct to assume you're using the stock shocks? If so how is the ride compared to stock? Did you have to cut bump stops or was it just a straight up spring replacement and alignment?

Nice!!!

I'm liking that headlight concept. I have seen the good work you all do in the Honda world. Will be interested in what you all do here.

Small update and showing off a new product
We've created a replacement for the OEM charging and grounding harness. The Chase Bays Charging/Grounding Harness takes the bad design of the OEM system from mediocre to great. We've added an additional 2 grounding points to the harness, anything more netted zero improvement under any and all further electrical loads. Being that this kit was designed on an actual FR-S/BRZ chassis…it ensures that all wire gauges are optimal for amperage and current travel distance. This will also improve aesthetics greatly, and save about a pound of weight. Nothing ground breaking, but a very functional and great looking piece.

Chase McMaster makes Chuck Norris look mortal.
Project looks awesome, thanks for letting us be a part of it. |

Exhaust update!
A huge thank you to Motiv Concepts and ISIS Performance for helping us out on the build. Each of their products are of the highest quality and we're happy to rock their products and logo's all over our FR-S. The products featured in this build are available on our site. :thumbup: Motiv Concepts Test Pipe, Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ ISIS Performance Street Cat-Back Exhaust, Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ ISIS Exhaust Hanger Bushings We installed the ISIS Performance exhaust & exhaust hanger bushings first, then dyno'd. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8081/8...58830ef3_c.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8222/8...01fef53b_c.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8082/8...897c7ed8_c.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8494/8...022b5302_c.jpg After 3 dyno runs, we added the Motiv Concepts Test Pipe and dyno'd 3 more times. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8356/8...ab3ba183_c.jpg Dyno charts will be uploaded tomorrow. We gained 4hp and 6tq across the board, definitely noticable gains. Both products were easy to install and we didn't encounter any issues start to finish. The car sounds great too. Thanks for reading. |

I've got a 240sx with a bunch of Chase Bays parts in it(PS kit, grounding kit, etc) and I love everything I've gotten from there, all works great comes with good instructions etc.
I'm on the list to get an FR-S for my lady friend(local Scion dealership is letting us test drive one tomorrow while we wait for our spot on the list) and i'm super excited to see that there will be Chase Bays stuff for it. Keep up the good work guys. |
Can't wait to see how this turns out, I've always admired your products.
|
love the grounding kit.. will be following this build...
|
Can't wait for your stuff to clean up my engine bay. Looking awesome!
|
Thank you all for the kind words!! Looking forward to getting all these new products for the FR-S/BRZ released!! Let us know if you have any questions!

After building Airforce aircarft harnesses. It makes me laugh to see alot of the same parts and brands used.
|
Lose the LED strips imo...otherwise, great!
|
Don't know how i missed this, i may have to pick up the grounding kit if Motiv says its good stuff thats good enough for me. How difficult is it to install? Love the color on the concept pic also.
|
Thanks guys!

Can't wait for the finished product!
What kind of new products are you guys going to be making?? |
Alright folks. We didn't get to pay much attention to this build the past 3 months for various reasons but now its back in full force. We've picked up some new sponsors and we're very very happy to have them on board.
Vortech Superchargers and Nitrous Express. We're all very excited to see the power numbers we can get with the supercharger-nitrous combo. As most of you know they're a great combination. This past weekend we tore the car down for paint. A couple iPhone photos to show our progress. Engine comes out this evening http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8546/8...4b20f4a9_c.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8529/8...96b505da_b.jpg Thanks! More updates Wednesday. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8531/8...993a879a_c.jpg |
