Thisguyrett's Project daily

Some new mods. Took the chrome coating off my headlight housing and painted the high beam reflectors with stained glass yellow by krylon.


Also installed my lca's today - 1.5 fronts and - 1.3 in the rears. I need to order adjustable toe links



Also got an oft. Running a stage 1 91 to be safe. We have 93 really available but I kept getting alerts for knock correction.


Hello everyone. My name is Rett and I have been a part of this forum since the concept of the FT-86 came out. The Fr-s is, as I tell my wife, my "realistic dream car".

About a month ago, I finally picked one up.

2015 Halo M/T Fr-s w/ 13k on the odometer.

My plan for this car is to make it a track ready beast but still be reliable enough as my daily. So on to the mod list!

Fr-s Mod List
-35%ceramic tint
-LED Dome
-LED TRUNK
-LED License plate
-LED reverse
-LED switchback front turn signals
-5k hids
-3k high beam
-winjet yellow lens foglights
-window viors
-BC extreme low BR coilovers
-Megan Racing Lower Control Arms
-Bayson-r front lip
-BMC drop in filter
-Top Speed Pro V1 axleback

DIY mods
- Tinted taillights red
-clutch pedal helper spring removal
-clutch pedal height adjustment
-Black housing headlights with yellow stained. glass high beam reflectors
-Driver mod
















Looking forward to sharing my progress to those who share the same enthusiasm.

Here are my 2 previous cars
2008 scion tc

2006 VW passat

Thanks man! The coilovers are great! Definitely can't compare to an oem suspension but its close! I have the fronts at 8 clicks from soft and the rears at 15 clicks from soft.

I did a thing yesterday. I followed darrendriven's diy




Also got some new parts.





Plans are 0 toe. And probably 0 camber all the way around. I wanted to do track settings at -2.5 front and -1.8 rear but I do alot of driving for work and she's my daily. I will just change settings when track days come.
