FlushBrz's Flush FR-S. lol
 
Well the reason for the name is I was pretty set on a brz when I joined and ended up getting a FR-S. Anyways, I've been meaning to do a little build thread, so here goes.

Loving the headlights!

Lonewolf 11-29-2013 03:28 PM

Wow, that is a nice looking ride!

Just a heads up, quite a few members had issues with the injen intake throwing cel's constantly, having a really rough idle, etc.

Really? Mine idles rough sometimes but it was like that before the intake was installed. I guess I missed that thread.

Ya something about messing with the MAF sensor and it not reading correctly or something.

Awesome build so far!

GaN-MaN 12-13-2013 02:50 AM

Awesome looking ride man. Looks cool with that five axis front only. Something different.

Also loving what you did with the headlights, wondering what those other parts were that you painted red? i can see the ring but the other thing?

mfbmike 12-13-2013 03:55 AM

Nice pics. What camera do you use?

Enraged21 12-13-2013 09:11 AM

Where did you get the tint for the tail lights from?

I'm planning on getting the rocket bunny lip and skirts and seeing how that looks.

I also painted the projector shroud, you can see a hint of red through the projector when nothing is on.

Great photos! And I love your headlights as well :D

asphaltkyle 12-14-2013 02:44 AM

Even the owner is confused about whether his car is an FR-S or a BRZ...


Just kidding. I like the front lip without the entire kit.

Liehtw8 12-14-2013 03:05 AM

Absolutely love the red in your headlights. Lookin good

ThisGuy919 12-14-2013 03:40 AM

Are you getting any condensation on your headlamps after taking them apart and putting back?

RRnold 12-14-2013 06:49 AM

:party0030: Nice build!! That stance looks very good!

Lol It's because I made this profile before I bought one and ended up finding a sweet deal on a fr-s.

https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.n...58071905_o.jpg

Looks badass !! its my wallpaper right now.

cfig21 12-19-2013 10:16 AM

Did you polish the tail lights at all or just sprayed the nightshades on?

Looks really good! Are you scraping all over the place being that low? I'll probably be doing the same thing eventually I got the same wheels in 8.5:). Do you know much drop?

STV3 12-23-2013 05:01 PM

Im not a fan of stance and stretched tires but this car is done well and tastefully. Beautiful car :thumbsup:

NJA 12-23-2013 05:51 PM

dkx64 12-23-2013 06:27 PM

I rarely scrape. It's really not that low. My exhaust is what scrapes. I want to say like 3 inches.

It's easy, just really time consuming.

dkx64 12-30-2013 03:55 PM

Awesome work. How do the coils feel? Everyone keeps telling me to skip the sub 2k coils. But I don't exactly have the money for anything above like 1200 right now. Wanting anything better would have to wait for me. Do yours ride better than stock in regards to comfort?

Clean build so far. I have the same question as the above poster. What are your impressions of the coils? (especially on the street)

I sold my car a few weeks ago guys. Sorry :/ but the megan coils were horrible, and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. I wish I would have gone with bc instead.

Is it just me or does it seem that the people who spend the most money changing these cars are also the first ones to get rid of them?

Flush looks to have spent 6k just in wheels, tires, lip kit, and coilovers.

I just hope you don't blame the car.

thank you for reading. sent using Tapatalk! (wouldn't want to forget that)

FlushBrz 02-08-2014 09:33 PM

Well. Here's the car now after being sold. Not even two weeks later.. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-L...3-no/photo.JPG
