ZG-flared FR-S - hamzam's ride
 

I bought this car new Wednesday, July 31st, 2013 w/ 24 miles. It was a completely stock, no-option 6-MT... I would have preferred Whiteout, but this was the only manual on the lot. 11 miles on the odometer.

This is the build thread for my vision of a streetfighter .

Installed some Hella horns last night... they were free from a friend, so I had no excuse not to :)

Getting started

Plastidip! Don't wanna see that in red, now do we.... ?

Almost there... cut out the absorber to clear the Hella's AND MORE PLASTIDIP! (So it's "invisible")

Looking good!

Doing some work on the grill... I am going to cut the closed grill portions open so you can see the horns somewhat. Didn't want to block the radiator completely!

Looking good!!!! Hope to meet you soon fellow CT owner!!

I see your posts everywhere! Been lurking more so than posting, but we need a mini meet in the CT area!!! There is potential!

Car sounds amazing BTW!

Thanks, Nick!

I will be posting a video or two this weekend. I installed a CC Exhaust Insert a few weekends ago. Made a big difference. I'll have WITH and WITHOUT video's to show the difference.

Gonna be grabbin' your switchbacks from you soon, BTW!

Holy crap that's one of the best rumbles I've heard from a BRZ/86 in a long time! How's the headers for DD?

Sick

Send me a PM when you do and I'll make sure you receive the return customer discount :thumbsup:

With the stock muffler, you only hear the difference in pulses as far as the exhaust sound. The loudness is the same as stock, just you hear a slight rumble. Thats why I got a different muffler (with a silencer jut incase).

Without a tune, you will still feel an increase in torque, but obviously, a tune is safer to drive with.

With this setup, I don't have to rev it past 2,000rpm in any gear. And I love flooring it in 6th on the highway at ~1,400rpm. Such orgasmic sounds.

Thank you, will do!

Just finished up 3rd Brake Light Relocation.

Tomorrow, I'm going to cut the ugly, raised factory mounting bracket.

Finally, a clear view of the rear.

I've been looking for a good high-mount 3rd brake light! What LED strips did you use?

where in ct are you?
