2013 Raven FR-S, "Yoruichi"
Car was purchased in June of 2013. My wife is the one who named the car. I probably will keep the car N/A though until years later when it is fully paid off, or have decided to go another route.

The welds may not be the cleanest, but they use mandrel bent stainless and it sounds and looks great from behind the car http://i.imgur.com/l2ULMNZ.jpg My interior lighting, from Phastek Performance http://i.imgur.com/5lVBWMh.jpg |
Here some more recent mods:

Looks really Clean so far! Those Yospeed custom pieces are dope, I named my WRB BRZ Saber, hopefully they start taking custom orders again soon so I can do something similar.

Thanks for the compliment. I prefer a clean look and don't really plan on doing much else cosmetically to the outside of the car. I really want to drop it a bit on some mild springs and get a tune. Just got to wait for some money again. |
Less is more. I'm two years away from thirty and I want to be sure I don't look funny coming out of a car that is heavily modded appearance wise, haha.

Got my tune in from Delicious Tuning this past weekend. Loving it so far.

Got on a dyno early today... at possibly the hottest time of the day, 4pm in Sealy, TX (near Houston). Weather conditions: 96.67 F, 29.93 in-Hg, Humidity: 48%

Following this DIY : http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32414
I installed TRD springs onto my FR-S. I also got SPC front camber bolts and got a new alignment. I am now running -1.6 degrees of camber each side up front with 0 toe. The toe in the rear has been reduced down to 0.07 on either side as well. Pics in the first post updated, with a couple more pics below. http://i.imgur.com/71baSny.jpg http://i.imgur.com/aQWAvbi.jpg http://i.imgur.com/os8DmEO.jpg http://i.imgur.com/4wqFKxI.jpg http://i.imgur.com/luiI8Pt.jpg http://i.imgur.com/oThRTlY.jpg |
Here's a great picture from a local club autocross event back in March 30, 2014. This was before a lot of my mods (as you can tell from the lack of spoiler, and those big wheel gaps). It was a great time though with a small number of people I know.

So a couple weeks ago, I bought and installed the center armrest offered through the Scion dealership. Here's some pictures showing the install. It was pretty straightforward, just have to be sure to get your templates straight.

What club is this that doesn't require car class labels on the car? |

That said, even on a track that allowed the Camaro's to stretch their legs on a straight a bit, I still finished in the top 10. Almost everyone acknowledged that on a proper SCCA course, or with more power in my car, I would have been top 5. (I used to own a Camaro SS and my wife still has a gen5 v6; this is one of our favorite clubs to hang out with) |
So there are a few things I haven't posted yet...
1) Relocated third brake light to top of rear window, per thread on this forum, link in updated first post of this thread. 2) Removed Scion front and rear badges and FR-S badge, and replaced with old Toyota emblems (commonly spelled out "TEQ" badge from how it looks, actually is Katakana for Toyota). 3) Installed Innovate MTX-D Oil Pressure/Temperature gauge, using ATI vent pod w/52mm conversion for interior mounting, and the TRD sandwich plate for sensor mounting. http://i.imgur.com/aHeLl6X.jpg http://i.imgur.com/SX1vXtp.jpg http://i.imgur.com/1UIEsTh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/bTJ07zG.jpg http://i.imgur.com/1GrQPQl.jpg |
