Yeah I just didn't want to modify the cooling plate if I ended up switching out the Injen.

I have something coming in on Monday that will hopefully make it work

Boost? Hehe. I know I'll have to modify it when I get it because I'm most likely going with a Vortech.

Carbon Fiber Litespeed Intake Air Box installed tonight! Too dark for pictures, hopefully I'll have some posted tomorrow.

Not a perfect filter/air box seal - The Injen Intake tube extends too far horizontally, so I had to push the filter further onto the tube, and angle it slightly so it fit correctly. I really am not sure how much that will effect the intake, but the air box looks much better, and it fits a lot better with the cooling plate.


Just waiting on the dress up kit now.

Picked up some touch-up paint for some detailing later. Three car shows in the next three weekends

So... my driver side switchback is not working and both DRLs, and my driver side low beam is darker than my passenger side (which is the correct brightness).


Wtf....

Just ordered some new HIDs and LEDs from @Diode Dynamics after half of the ones I got failed.

Hope these will work out better.

Thanks for ordering from us, let me know if you need any help with them!

I think you will be very pleased with our FR-S lighting products, they've gone through extensive testing to ensure they fit perfectly and have great longevity!

FYI - I'll be out of the car hobby for a while. Going through some major life problems and priorities change. I appreciate the feedback and interest in my thread. Hopefully I can get back into it at some point.

-All the best.

Gotta set your priorities mate,
Hope everything works out well, Good Luck!

Got my car dynoed for the first time this past Saturday, numbers came in at 139.5HP. Pretty awesome considering stock FRS usually hits around 160HP. Turns out the wiring from my intake may be damaged and I'm pumping way too much fuel into my engine. Hopefully getting that fixed today and throwing a tune on top so I should be getting the numbers I want tonight!
