Good choice. haha

If I got the same wheels as you ordered, we'd be identical. Maybe I should take a trip to Australia. Set up a charity to help pay for my car to get shipped out there.

Sounds like pretty dope idea to me. But then again, all you Americans put the steering wheel is on the wrong side so you'd be all confused on our roads =P

Appreciate that advise on the wing man. Very pleased.

What's next for yours?

Switching to BRZ front. Still deciding on aero and wheels. Probably going back to black/gold. All the MAX risers will be installed next month.

After all that, probably just a header back exhaust, OFT, clutch, and tune. Probably gonna be done after that. I wanna keep it simple. I like the reliability it has right now. 3400 mile road trip through horrible weather with 2 days of drifting and the car took every bit of it no problem.

Yeah I'm defs doing the diff risers. If I knew about the sub frame risers earlier I would of done them too but I've already installed the full whiteline subframe bushings and cbf doing them all over again.

Dude for your new wheels there's only one colour choice for a black frs and that's bronze. You're absolutely mental if you don't get bronze Volk TE37's. You just need to get them wide-ish so they have concave.

It would be cool but I can't find bronze TEs in the right sizes at all.

ILL86 Australia - Drift build

The kit is stage 1 premium the following options:

Garrett GTX2867
Ceramic coated piping
1000cc injectors
Turbo blanket
Manual boost controller
FBM oil cooler
FBM radiator
FBm radiator shroud

Tbh it cost me a fortune. I think with the conversion, shipping and the duty that I paid I spent around $10.5k.

Yes, that's a lot of money and yes, I know I could of got a cheaper kit elsewhere, but IMO this is the best turbo kit on the market. The quality of the components are second to none, not to mention the amount of RND FBM are putting into their new products/developments is incomparable to anyone else. Plus FBM's service was exceptional through the whole process. Every email was replied promptly and they looked after me on price as much as they could. Hats off to FBM and LJ.

The way I look at mods is do it right the first time so you don't need to do it twice. Plus if I went for a cheaper alternative kit I know I'd never be happy with it knowing I didn't get the one I really wanted.

Flick FBM a PM on here and they'll be able to answer any questions I'm sure. Unfortunately I'm on my phone and don't know how to tag them.

Hope that answers a few of your questions.

Idk.


Some shit just recently went down since I've been gone so I honestly don't even know how much longer I'll have the car for. Might be going back to stock and selling this year.
