[PERRIN_Chris]

Love the Initial D music! 2:00, woahhhh!!! Wasn't actually me, it was @VesperLynn I was wearing the white helmet.

Read the OP up until the point when the images weren't loading. Subbed to read after work. This part cracked me up though:

Nice pictures and documentation, its really cool to see so much attention to detail and enthusiasm about a car, I feel like that kind of attitude is much more prevalent in the FRS community then many others I've been in.

Nice build! I really was impressed with how those Enkei lug covers enhanced the look of the car. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! I'll have to agree about the 86 community. I know everyone says the FR-S lacks power, and it probably does a little, but it's a humble car that brings a lot of intangibles to the table. It's slow in a straight line, and boasts low hp/tq ratings. But I love it cause it's an anti-douchebag mechanic. And frankly I'm glad it keeps that crowd away. Just look at 'affordable' cars built for speed like the Neon SRT-4, Sti, and Evo and certain crowds that revolve around those cars.

Yeah, I was looking at the Enkei Fujins, then I saw the RS7s on ebay for spankin new and super cheap. Similar 7-spoke design, same company, works for me!

Yeah, the cover adds a lot of needed sophistication to the wheel, since it's a universal 5x100/114.3 setup.

Oh to be young again!

So back in 2002, I was really into some micro r/c cars
called Bit Char-G, or 'Microsizers' in the US.
But unfortunately a mishap with a younger sibling
destroyed my toy.
So the other day, when my random ebay
searches led me to r/c cars, I saw people
were still selling Bit Char-G cars.
Saw a nice set on sale, and I went ahead
and bought it.
Looking forward to playing with it!
I'm also brainstorming on how I can make
a GT86 shell for it already.
3D printer maybe? I could use some ideas!

I have little RC cars that are similar to those! They were sold in Radio Shack about 10 years ago, not sure if they're exactly the same.

There were a few brands, followed by many chinese variants.

10 Years ago, there were Microsizers (re-branded Bit Char-G for the US) and Zip Zaps. Zip Zaps were a bit bigger. Microsizers/Bit Charg-s had interchangeable parts and lots of 'aftermarket', different rubber wheels, suspension, different 'motors' and such.

Love the clean build (I'm looking to do something similar)! I visit Portland 4-5x a year; I hope to see you on the road!

Keep up the great work!

Sad news that Paul Walker passed away. As cheesy as some of
the Fast and Furious movies were, they were great times for
any petrol head to watch for pure velveeta entertainment value.
But I suppose the movies have instilled upon us that,
overnight parts from Japan are the sh*t.

And so, thank you mister Walker, as you've led the craze
that has taken us simple folk by storm.
Making us spend our hard earned moolah for some
JDM goodies... straight from Japan.

Updates later this week. #jizzedpants

Trip to the Emerald City

So I recently took a trip up to Seattle, WA in my car.
It's only 3 hours north of here, but I rarely make the
trip. This is the 2nd time I've gone to Seattle with
the FRS.



Looks great from up here!


Space Needle


Oh snap! Is that my car? First FRS picture from the Space Needle!


Don't tell McDonalds I parked in their lot.



That ass though...

Lust at first sight

They landed a week ago...
but I didn't meet them until Tuesday.
I finally found time to take a peak at them;
thought I'd share a few photos.

It's an exciting feeling, you know.. those feels.
Kind of like holding a girl's hand for the first time,
Or that first kiss,
Or losing your virginity..
Okay, maybe not that elicit.
But it's still a great feeling!

So yeah, the good stuff:


Like a sexy lady in lingerie.


Striptease.


Lemme get a little closer!


Much clean. So JDM. All mine!

Install will happen next week! Still awaiting
my plug-n-play harness from @DeOppressorLiber
Big thanks to @BRZPDX for being my smuggle man,
pulled out all the stops to ensure that today,
this man.. is a happy man.

Update:

Harness arrived and I finally got a chance to try it out.
The harness makes the install so simple, no splicing, no re-pinning, nothin!
Harness review can be found here.


Completely unwrapped!


Look ma, it's so easy!


They work! So damn sexay!!

Installed pics in a few days. Stay tuned!
