Fate - My FRS
 
So last week I drove 360 miles to trade in my beautiful 2011 STi (Destiny) for a FRS (Fate). Dealership gave me lots of $$$$ on top and the FRS! Ever since I don't regret trading in my STi.... It was stage 2 at 309hp 348tq. Was getting 250miles per tank and started having some problems. So she went and fate came.

Her first trip

Just ordered some PF01, BC BR FRS coiler overs, and waiting for nameless performance to finish their header back exhaust! Also have a LG 10in Sub and alpine 500w V-Power mono amp running 8gage to the stock Stereo. Lots more will come soon.... and lots of pictures... Nice to meet everyone! :thumbup:

*Reserved for more*

*UPDATE! AUG 15!!*
Havn't been on here in a while and some stuff has happened. Got my new tires for the PF01's, Coils are finally going to be here next week, and the 10mm rear spacer is installed. And I Plastidipped my chromed center caps.

First oil change at 4200 miles before new tires!

I've been thinking of trading my 08 STi in on a FR-S but having reservations about missing the acceleration. Is that not an issue?

NickFRS 06-21-2012 01:06 PM

To be honest I don't miss my STi. Since I DD it the gas was killing me. Once you start throwing the FRS into corners you will forget about the STi's raw acceleration...

Thunderchicken 06-21-2012 01:35 PM

I can understand on the gas milage cause I get about 19.5

I TOTALLY botched taking some video of our drift session in the parking lot. Sorry man, I took a 0:01 video. I got this, though.

Gotta love a FRS at a camp sight!

NickFRS 09-20-2012 10:34 PM

Coils are sitting in my spare bedroom! Car will be lowered the first weekend of october! Can't wait!

NickFRS 11-21-2012 05:46 PM

good news is that the parts have arrived and the car should be done in 3ish weeks...

New stuff for the FRS is full Redline fluids for my trans and rear diff. Also Have a Nameless Performance cat back waiting to be installed once all the body work is done... and of course my BC BR coils have been sitting since the accident..... can't wait to get those on as well.

DarrenDriven 11-21-2012 06:31 PM

Ugh. It must be killing you to be without the car for so long!
