Autocon's Pretty White Princess
 
Hey everyone, my name is Anthony Vaccaro, I live in Los Angeles and this will be my journal for my 2014 Whiteout FRS. I am really new to the whole car scene so I am learning as I go. This is the first new car I ever owned, as well as paid for myself. I was never SUPER into cars but I am now hooked! :D

I have named her Yuki, its Japanese for Snow which is fitting having a Whiteout and being a Toyubaru. I also got to take my first trip to Japan a month before I bought her so it seemed fitting. She is my pretty little princess haha

I went with the AT mainly because I live and work in LA and traffic is the fucking devil. But I normally drive in Manual Spots mode.:burnrubber:

August 10th 2014 - Installed my Nameless 2.5" 4" Axleback. Getting the stock exhaust off was a BITCH! The bolts were totally seized up and almost had to pay someone to get them off for me. Finally got them off so I could install it myself :D

100 miles in and I kinda wish I went with the 5" mufflers. Its a bit loud for a DD, most notably on the freeway cruising. Feels like it has a bit of a drone as I can always hear it. I heard these guys break in at about a week or 2 so we will see. Sounds phenomenal on the street and in the hills though! Just dont like that I always hear it when cruising the freeway.

Very similar build to mine. May I ask what your nameless order # was and how you installed the forcewerkz lip?

Dec 21rd 2014 - Installed my Enkei Kojin 17x9 wheels :D Just got around to taking some photos. Got them from Guerrilla Racing.

225/40 tires. They were suppose to be 235/40 but I got hooked up by a buddys tire guy and I didnt check before I left :/ But they still look good ha.

While crunching at work on a Sunday for a deadline I went down in the parking garage to do a little photoshoot since the place so empty :)

A bolt in my Godspeed tow hook seemed to fall out and I almost lost my tow hook entirely :(
