I figured, since I'm looking at putting a number of Weird Parts on my FR-S, I may as well start a build log for it. Here's the car as it sits today, mostly stock:

So far I've just done a Pioneer head unit install, with an iDataLink Maestro RR that gets me OBD2 data in the radio. The Maestro was originally installed using the OBD plug, but I relocated it to the Option Connector a couple weeks back and can confirm it works nearly fine -- I lost TPMS, but that never really worked anyway. Shrug.

In the next couple days, it's going in for a full transmission job. I got tired of the cold-weather grind here in upstate NY, so I'm doing pretty much everything that's ever been suggested to fix it:

- Perrin Engine Mount
- Perrin Trans Mount
- Perrin Shift Bushing
- Whiteline Trans Bushing
- ACT Clutch
- Synchrotech Carbon Synchros
- Verus Clutch Fork
- Verus Clutch Pivot

After that, it's finally time for some real traction. I have a set of 17x8 +40 Konig Dekagrams on order, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4Ses. I'll keep this thread updates with thoughts on the driveline parts, and the new shoes, once they're all installed.

After that, the mod list has everything from coilovers to cosmetics to a slightly-smaller-than-factory-but-not-enough-to-remove-the-airbag steering wheel. More mods, and more photos, to come.
