Picked her up Tuesday the 5th of June, MT Firestorm FR-S
Im not a daily track or autocross guy, but even driving around normally i can feel the difference in handling compared to my old 2nd gen tc and other cars ive driven. And its a great smile inducing feeling.

Not mine just yet... was still thinking if i should get it:

OKAY, i wasn't really thinking if i should, deep down, i knew the answer, took it home that night and gave it its first wash and clay.

Visual Garage Sharkfin, clean and smaller profiler than the beatsonic. design flows better with the car IMO.

Team Voodoo's shift knob.
love it, sits low, polished black, feels great and smooth.

Glossy CF Wrap (CA-421GN}
LOAD of improvement over the T pattern graphic. makes the interior feel much better imo.
CF vinyl is textured, and refracts light in various ways. very cool
I never had non glossy cf wrap, so i cant comment on how the two compare.

It looks great, hoping to get one like this myself in the next few months

Nice car and simulation setup. I have the Fanatec wheel as well and it's a blast taking the FR-S to Nurburg and Laguna Seca. Add me on Xbox Live if you want a good FR-S race! Gamertag: EaterOfMany

gt865 09-08-2012 01:36 AM

How are you liking the meng kits? I've been thinking about some for myself. Nice thread man!

Thanks!, the meng kits seem like quality, they come packaged with the lights , gloves and mounting tape / brackets. havent had any issues with them yet.

Did you have any trouble fitting the pioneer unit?

msile 09-09-2012 01:41 PM

Other than having to modify the metra mount, nah.
Used a hacksaw to cut out apart the metra gap filling piece. Fitment wise - the pioneer was fine. (minus the need to have to use gap fillers in the first place)
