Webwerk's Raven FR-S
 
On July 18th, 2013 I drove off the lot of Butler Toyota in Indianapolis in my first MT RWD vehicle, a raven Scion FR-S. I've had an absolute blast driving it so far.

The test drive in late May was realistically my first time driving a stick and I've been getting the hang of it since. I live in Indianapolis, IN and hope to attend the next meetup (Saw pictures from the last one).

First mod was a badge changeover. I have a slew of smaller mods on their way that I can manage installing in the winter here.

Mod List:

Exterior:
Toyota for Scion Badge Swap
JDM FRS / BRZ / STI Side Markers
Rexspeed Wide Mirrors
Diode Dynamics FRS Fog Lights
Winjet JDM Headlights - Black

Engine:
Grimmspeed Hood Struts

Interior:
Raceseng Reverse Lock Out - Gunmetal
Raceseng Apex R Shift Knob - Gunmetal

I snapped one of my T-Tap Connectors when installing the fog lights so I haven't been able to get them installed. I bought a replacement connector today though so probably next weekend I'll have those in there. Hoping to get my mirrors in by then too.

Washed and waxed.

Just a quick shot from the day I got the car. We've had terrible weather so I hope to take some better photos when it clears up.

My first chance to really take it out was on IN-135, a rural road south of Indy here.

Had an awesome time!

On the way back while stopping for dinner I even got a note under my wiper. I thought it was a parking ticket at first but turned out to be a note from one of the members here telling me to check out FT96club. I couldn't believe it.

I've had the car five days and I've caught 2 guys doing a walk around on it, countless turned heads, and have been asked at least a few times "What did that run you?". I couldn't be happier with my car.

As far as modding goes, I haven't really given it much of a chance before. Ultimately I have a lot of plans for it but I'm not sure where to start when I can afford something.

Updated with a bunch of odds and ends mods. :D
