hey . my name is victor. picked up my whiteout frs about 3 months ago. my previous car was an 05 wrx premium with full bolt ons and fp green turbo. i loved it , but my work forced me to sell it and buy a truck . so i have been saving for a while and decided this summer is the summer i by a car again. so i was looking into everything, from s2k's , to supras to rx7's and ofcourse sti's. i set out to by a hawkeye sti . but the prices along the mileages that i was finding were not looking good for me . i have always had a thing for boxer motors. i love the sound , the look and the feel. so one of my friends told me to look into the new 86's . i completely forgot that they came out since i stopped following them last year . i started looking , and i started liking , the next day i went out and bought an frs.
this was the drive home

well the first mod to the car was coilover, i went with bc racing . great ride and very comfortable for daily driving. once i installed them i heard this crazy thud in the rear everytime i would hit a bump. i the the shocks were blown so i contacted bc racing and they were very helpful. after taking the out, re adjusting the spring load and re torquing everything , i figured out the noise was my trunk ... seems that toyota and subaru didnt do a good job with the truck latch because there is alot of slop in it you will notice once the ride gets stiffer , well atleast for me .

next was wheels. i wanted the gramlight 57 extremes but couldnt justify spending that much money on just wheels . so i went with reps. konig torches. konig did a very awesome job with these wheels. very nicely done. i went 18x8 +35 with 235/40/18 neo-gens all around. i plan on going larger in the future but i got a deal with the wheels .
