jchudson13's FR-S Build
 

Hey guys, thought it was time to start my own build thread, but first I want to take the time to thank everyone on here as your builds and information you've supplied has helped me a lot with and has been my inspiration for my build. Also, I want to thank PTuning, as they are awesome to do business with. I trusted them to do my install and tune for me and everything is spot on. They are my go to guys for parts, and if I decide to go for more power, I will be taking my car to them for the tune.

Now for the fun stuff!

Just arrived today! My new coilovers :party0030:. RS*R Sports-i. Next up in a few weeks...wheels and tires.

awesome! looking forward to feedback and reviews and future mods! looks great! I'm dropping my car off to PTuning next Thursday for turbo kit and other supporting mod install.. If and when the opportunity presents itself, can you post sound clips of the exhaust with the PTuning header please! Good stuff man

Yeah I can upload a few clips sometime. Whenever I have time, crazy busy with work. Gotta make money for more car parts! Lol @rb6freak has some good footage though if you want to check his videos out, his username on youtube is utubeis4meok.

Beautiful car and mod list! I absolutely love the Ptuning turbo kit! Will be watching your build for sure man!

Thanks man, should be lots more to come!

Just installed my coilovers yesterday morning, I will get pics up soon. I didn't take very many though.

I'm not sure that I did my end links correct so I'm probably going to have to put it back on the lift within the next week and adjust them, it was me and my buddy's first time installing coilovers so we didn't have too much knowledge about it.


The drive home wasn't too bad, I was expecting it to be a bit stiffer but it wasn't bad at all. Bigger bumps were a little rough but to be expected. I will give more thoughts on the coilovers as I do more driving.

Also I am hoping to order my new wheels next week and still deciding on what tires I want. It's between the Hankook RS3 and Toyo R1R. I see more reviews on RS3s so I thought maybe I would go with the Toyo's and giving my thoughts on them as daily driver type driving, with spirited driving.

I did get a sound clip of the exhaust that I will try and get up soon as well. It's bad sound quality though since it was taken with a cell phone, and it was inside the shop.

Pictures of the car when I installed my coilovers. I got a few decent shots of the exhaust while it was on the lift, I love the look of this exhaust. Sorry for the bad pics lol I'm not a professional picture taker or anything haha. I also got a sound clip of the exhaust that day, it's not the best sound quality since it was taken with my phone.

Sound clip of my exhaust. 4-1 Header with turbo back exhaust. Again sorry for the bad sound quality.

Just a few more pics for entertainment. Showing off the polished exhaust and the intercooler hiding behind the grille :thumbup:
