Golfyankee2121's 2013 Argento FR-S Build Thread
What's up everyone? My name is Jimmy B, I am 23 years old, and this is my 2013 Argento Scion FR-S. I had another build thread on here, but it was getting out of date, and I wanted to create a new one, so here it is!
I have had the car since January 1, 2014 and I have loved every minute of ownership. I have always been into cars, and loved the idea of modifying them to my liking. This is the first "tuner" car that I have owned, and the first car that I have been able to modify. Considering that fact, I was very in over my head at first, but this forum helped me immensely. In the last 2+ years of perusing this forum's various topics, I have learned so many different things about this car that I probably would have never known without it. With that being said, let the build list begin!
A couple of recent pictures with current mods:

Timeline below:
The first day I had the car:
It didn't take too long for the mod bug to bite me and once it did, I never turned back.
My first mod was a muffler delete: 02/14/2014
Then came some Valenti Tail Lights: 06/07/2014
After that I had the tint, subwoofer and amp installed: 06/14/2014

A Perrin Drop In filter and Inlet Tube was next: 09/01/2014

LED Bulbs and Center Console Badge from Diode Dynamics and Exogear iPad Mini Mount: 11/21/2014

New Wheels and Tires Installed: 02/28/2015
After about 6 months with the inlet tube/drop in, I decided to go with a full CAI. I chose GrimmSpeed, and couldn't be happier with my decision! I also replaced my factory floor mats and upgraded to WeatherTech: 04/10/2015

Next I bought an OpenFlash tablet from a fellow ft86club member for some performance gains!: 07/05/2015
Smoked my side markers and reverse light bar with Lamin-X film: 08/28/2015

Rev Works UEL Installed, stage 2 tune flashed: 09/03/2015

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yb-YukPDuEM"]Scion FRS - RevWorks UEL - Stock OP/FP/MP - Custom Muffler Delete - YouTube[/ame]
Bayson R fender garnish installed: 11/01/2015
Installed interior trim pieces, shift knob, shift boot, wide angle mirrors, shorty antenna, and black badges: 01/22/2016
Lowering springs, camber bolts and brake pads installed. I also had my ATF and Diff fluid changed: 03/21/2016
The last mod that I did was installing Rally Armor mudflaps that I acquired through another club member: 05/20/2016

That's all for now! I will keep updating as more mods are made. Right now I don't have any more mods planned, but I am thinking about doing a 4.56 or 4.88 final drive swap to help out with acceleration. Damn those tall ass AT gears lol.
Please feel free to ask me anything about my build. Thanks for looking, and have a great day!!
