SpeedElement's FRS - Project SE 86

For those who don't or may not know who we are, Speed Element Performance provides vehicle specialties for popular platforms including Mitsubishi, Subaru, Nissan, Toyota. Speed Element Performance's company-owned demo vehicles includes Lexus IS-F, Lexus LS460 and BMW 335i. Speed Element Performance's race-oriented vehicles include a EVO X and Subaru STi.

Haven't heard of you guys but glad too see another shop building one of the twins. Looking forward to progress.

That white LS460(?) on the end is SICK. looks like you guys build sick cars, can't wait to see what y'all do with this platform.

This is our preferred installation facility for all our FRS modifications as well :D

Glad to see you guys finally got yours.

We are installing a set of prototype coilovers and putting the wheels on after. Will post some pictues of the car when is done.

1/28/13 - Still playing with the coilover height/ dampening / camber . Mounted up the wheels and MXP exhaust. We love the sound of the mxp exhaust. :)

We will also be testing out some other wheel fitment as well.

DAM that looks beautiful. The ride height looks on point

Just for fun and testing. We mounted wheels from our 04 sti onto the frs to see how it look.

This is a TE37SL 18x9.5 +22 5x100 225/40/18

Rear:

Looks like it would need alot of camber in the front to clear and the rear would need just a tad bit more. Again this is just for testing purposes, we wouldn't suggest this setup to anyone.

Might be testing few other sets of wheels.

Sent our headlights out to do some modifications :)

^Good to see a proper retrofit being put on the car..

Too many people on here with the ghetto aftermarket HID kit installed into the Halogen housings. Eff You to all of you cheap pricks driving around and blinding the rest of us. Do what the OP did and get yourself a proper retro or buy a BRZ!
