New Member Old Toyota head
 
I just recently purchased a 2013 FR-S w/ 29,000 miles on it used... Its Argento color. I've already installed Retro Solutions 55watt HID w/ with the relay harness, TRD Duracon shift knobs ( all my vehicles have these...even wifey's '06 Seinna), Perrin 2" antenna, and waiting on TF Works Red Checkered floor mats.

Ive own a quite a few Toyotas & Hondas ... One of them is in the Toyota Museum in Torrance my resto 1972 White Toyota Celica ST.

So I'm here to research and learn as much as I get on this FR-S. I have a buddy whos egging me on to buy his turbo kit he makes. He is one of the best Subie tuner in SoCal. So its very very intriguing. But I plan on using this as daily beater and go hit some track events my buddy of Team Topak holds...


My fleet currently stands :

Oh man, if this is the same Wraith I'm thinking of, pretty excited to see your build thread on this. What happened to the Echo and Camry?? Probably ancient history by now....

The echo was sold to a guy in San Fernando who swapped in a 1zz-fe supercharged and tuned on a aem stand alone. Made 238whp and that was the last I heard of it ...

oh come on, do you really expect us to believe you are going to leave the FRS stock for long? Edelbrock is making a carb legal supercharger.:burnrubber:

Seriously though welcome. I remember reading about your echo and all the crazy things you were pretty much the first to do.
