'Sloane' - Cali first time build

Hi all. Meet Sloane, my Asphalt MT FR-S named after the impeccable character from HBO's Entourage.

I figured I would start this to track my build plans, progress, and receive feedback.

Day 1 Picked the car up on 6/1/2012

Bear with me as this is the first car I have owned and the build will be slow, yet done tastefully.

Update: June 2013.

Finally got around to installing the TRD Cold Air Intake and Catback Exhaust (See pictures in 1st post) Must say, great improvement! Mod bug is starting to hit...hard.

It usually does. If this is your first time modding take your time to research each and every part you are going to put on the car (benefits, drawbacks, etc.) and don't skimp by getting cheapo ebay crap (you don't seem to be the type anyway).

So far, the car is coming along and your planned mod list sounds good :happy0180:

Thanks for the comments! Doing my best to personalize and enjoy the car while keeping the car as clean and as balanced as it was from day 1.

Also trying to keep a record of everything in one place :burnrubber:

I am very, very proud of you for naming your car Sloane. Very well thought out. Damn..she was gorgeous.
