Hello everyone,
I picked up my FRS July of 2014 brand spanking new,
My FRS is nothing special when it comes to modifications list
Mods list:
Exterior:
Muffler tips for $20
Interior:
We are like wise extension and knob
Engine and Drivetrain:
K&N drop-in filter
Motul 300 does that count?
Wheels/Tires:
17x8 +38 Volk TE37
255/40R17 Bridgestone RE760 squared set up
Suspensions:
Tein Type Flex coilovers (prev. version of street flex)
I hope I can encourage those of whom that are in same shoes as I was,
wondering "how can I make my FRS more appealing, without going ham on my bank account?"
The first day with 8km on the odometer:
then came my first modification - bolt on exhaust tips that I purchased for $20 off of a local forum member
Then I thoroughly enjoyed my car in stock form until spring of 2015
the bad boys rolled in - Tein Type Flex Coilovers
Now, after working on it for a couple hours on a Saturday morning,
with huge help from a local FRS friend,
this is how she sat for awhile with 20mm spacers all around.
This is it for now - I doubt any mods will get added anytime soon though,
that didn't last long..
then came my wheels from Japan - beat up as hell but fit the budget!
then came the shit ton of photos..
and my favorite shot:
and then.. running stock rubber became old,
found a guy wanting to trade me a set of RE760 for my used stock ones
I love how meaty the tires look and steering weight increase
but definitely not loving the all the sidewall flex (like I know what that is
) and slower than prius acceleration.
Hopefully this 2016 season I will take her to the track to have some fun.
almost 2 years into ownership:
daily driven through winters now clocking 60,000km
done multiple road trips, Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas
and still love her.
Cheers !
