FReSh's Raven FRS
I was originally planning on having my car around March 28th, but got a call from the dealership saying that it had come in early. :w00t:
Picked it up that day, March 20th, with 7 miles on it. I will continue updating this thread as I work on my car. Cheers. :thumbsup: Mods so far: Opti-Coat XXR 530 18x8.75 +33 Continental ExtremeContact DW 225-40-18 Rally Armor Mud Flaps K&N Drop-in Filter Eibach Pro-Kit Springs OEM Camber bolts Smoked Side markers w/ Amber LED's Plans: Fatmat sound deadening (maybe) Small powered sub (maybe) HID's (maybe) JRSC (eventually) Edit: It looks like all of the pics got messed up (dang FB!), but a good album is located here: https://www.facebook.com/YerDoinItWr...=photos_albums under the Dan's FRS album. |
OptiCoat and Tints!
I took a drive down to Hillsboro to visit @Greg Gellas and Lee Berbs! The results speak for themselves! 35% Madico tint and an Opti. Even got a thumbs up from some dude in an SC300 on my drive home. :party0030:

Just ordered some XXR 530 18x8.75 +33 in chromium black from next level motoring. They're out of stock at the moment, but I can wait... Need to decide on tires soon. 225-40's or 245-35's (or even 235-40's?). Once the rims come in, I'll get tires, the Eibach Pro kit springs and the camber bolts for the front and get it aligned to ~ -1.5* camber all around. Should be sweet!
Here are some pics from a cruise: https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...23242071_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.n...92005521_n.jpg It was fun trying to keep up with a modded C63 AMG with my stock fr-s in the twisties, I was pretty close. :) |
Wheels came in early. Should have them installed by the end of the week! I ordered a set of Continental ExtremeContact DW's in 225-40-18. Can't wait to see em mounted up!

Got the wheels and tires installed today. XXR 530 18x8.75 +33 Chromium Black with Contie DW 225-40-18's. Enjoy. NEEDS MORE LOW! (Eibach Pro-kit soon)

Those wheels look killer, especially on a raven :thumbsup:
|
Yeah, I wasn't 100% sure I'd like the color of the wheels on the black car, but I think it came out great. I put some rally armor mud flaps on today since the tires poke a little bit and I don't want dirt all up the side of the car... Here are some pics:
https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n...77371889_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.n...75815380_n.jpg I also went for a little cruise and did some exploring. I found this road: :) https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.n...83214580_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n...71029995_n.jpg Cheers! |
Wow this is looking great ! keep it coming !
|
I'm working on it. My bank account is suffering though :( I think springs and camber bolts should be soon to come next month.
|
Just ordered up an Eibach Pro-kit. Hoping it'll be in by this weekend, but thats not likely.
|
Finally got the Pro-kit and camber bolts installed. Pics:
https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...43781300_n.jpg https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...62484814_n.jpg Its a little dirty in this pic since I just got back form a mini road trip... The springs ride surprisingly well. I haven't really noticed a difference from stock honestly. It has a little bit less body roll too. All said and done, it looks much nicer, so I am pleased :) |
Ravens just look tough. :thumbsup:.. I had one but went back and traded it for a whiteout bc I didnt want to have to deal with detailing it.
|
Yeah, its a bit of a pain to keep clean, but I love the look. :)
|
Raven is such a sweet color, good wheel choice BTW!

Is your wheel set-up square or staggered?

I'm a fan of the appearance of a staggered setup, but I'd probably go with a square setup for the track -Nick C. |

Freshly Cleaned!
I've been driving the Rattlesnake Pike out here in central PA lately. It's a pretty fun road!
Just got back from the car wash and snapped a few pics :) https://sphotos-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/h...42309016_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.n...89219495_n.jpg |
I think smoked/clear side markers are next with some amber colored LED bulbs. :)
|
Absolutely love the wheels :thumbsup:
|
Ordered up some smoked Helix side markers with Amber LED bulbs via Vicious's groupbuy. Should be a nice touch.
I also talked with the landlord and upgraded my parking spot to a covered one! Should be much easier to keep clean now. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...82191160_n.jpg Got a rock chip to fix though. :( Gotta get touch-up paint from the dealer. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...11311796_n.jpg I think I'll be done with mods until after the winter, but I'm thinking next year should bring a header and flex-fuel kit. Anyone have suggestions of the order I should do these things in, and which header to get? I'd love to get one of the UEL headers. I'm looking for the best value for my money as far as quality and fitment go. Thanks for the input! I'll update again when I get the markers installed :) |
Got the new markers installed. Its amazing how much cleaner the car looks without those bright amber lights on the side. :)

Unfortunately, it's that time of year...
https://scontent-b-iad.xx.fbcdn.net/...41910117_n.jpg Already can't wait for it to get nice out so I can let it down and drive it again! |
Great looking ride! I just ordered these wheels with a staggered setup. Going 18x7.5 +38 front and 18x8.75 +33 rear. How much does the rear poke with 18x8.75 +33? I thought it was supposed to sit flush, but your pics look like it's poking out a bit.
