Figured it was time to start one

The day I picked her up. My friend @jay@scionsales sold his m3 and got an frs, I liked it so much I test drove his and had him find me one. 2 days later I traded my 2013 tacoma for a 2013 frs with Factory spoiler and trd exhaust!

I babied it through the 1000 mile break in(it was damn tough)but at about 800 miles I got fed up with the ride height and pulled the trigger on some h&r Supersports from Ft86 speedfactory:party0030:

Then I did my first autocross(in this car)

The car did very well! Much less body roll then stock, and the handling was amazing. I'm coming from a BMW with full ground control coilovers, big swaybars, poly bushings in everything, and 140 tread wear toyo's and this car felt better! I did however find the limit of the stock tires, as I pulled three times within a tenth of a second of each other. I just couldn't go any faster.

With the mod bug still itching I decided to red the tails. I had yet to see it on an Argento, and I love it.

Looks like you're having a blast with it...the stock tires are the biggest thing holding it back, once that's taken care of, the fast driving can begin...

Purchased and installed my Revworks UEL header! Side effects, CEL(obviously) and reduced fuel economy...because I cant keep my foot out of the fun pedal. Waiting on my nameless 3" Axleback with 4" mufflers. It shipped today and will hopefully be here by monday.

I'm used to long tube headers, catless with a resonator and single muffler on my BMW, so yeah. Haha. Also it really just made a bunch of noise on start up and in the low rpms, but was way quiet in the upper range.

Yeah as an extra precaution. When everything was tightened it just didn't seem like the gasket was gonna seal. I could fit my finger nail in between the gasket easily.

Shit I just might do that..

Did you use it on the header to the block as well?

When you quickly glance at the back of the car, I thought you had put a Chevy badge on the trunk. Seriously confused until I went back and looked again :D

Car looks great!
