EWY's Raven FR-S Build Journal - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

EWY · 04-07-2014, 07:59 PM

Background:
What up every body I have been a member of the forum for a while and I finally decided to make a build thread. I come from a long line of owning Honda civics and tearing them apart. I eventually moved up to a 2010 Wicked white Lancer Evolution x but after an unfortunate event it was totaled. I then picked up a 2009 white Honda civic Si 4dr, like my evo lol, but it didn't feel the same. I tried sticking to my roots but missed the power of the Evo. I heard about the Frs and Brz and started looking in to them. I read a lot of info on this forum before I decided to get one.

Future Plans:
Since I miss the power of the evo I plan on turboing my frs in the near future. Since the car handles so well I will also look into autocrossing the car. I will also drop and buy wheels for the car Etc......

As I buy part I will post pictures up. Since I like to do installs on my own. I will try and take a few pictures during the install, in hopes that it will help some of you.

Without further a do here is my 2013 Raven Scion FR-S. I picked up the car used with 14k miles at Sterling McCall Acura out here in Houston Texas back in August Of 2013.

Here is how the Car sits right now. The front emblem has been shaved off. It takes some getting use to.

UPS messed up one of the wheel so the member I bought them from if working on getting it covered through the shipping insurance.

Tell me about it. I have more pictures that I had to send to them as proof. There was a hole on the box that aligned perfectly with the bent part of the rim.

Huge thanks to evox2frs for helping me get the wheel covered though the shipping insurance. I know anyone else would have said oh well deal with it.

There is an argument on the forums whether or not you need them. I ended up buying some anyways.

How hub looks without the rings.

How the hub looks with the rings on.

Of course man, that damage was crazy! Glad it all worked out, and can't wait till you post some pics. Also, didn't know you were a former Evo X owner too

My brother works at a dealership so I'm spoiled. I didn't have to rent a spring compressor.

Had to take off the carpet from the trunk so I can get to the bolts.
