ZG-flared FR-S - hamzam's ride

[hamzam]

BEFORE:


AFTER:







(Sorry, I know it's a bit blurry)

I am getting close to the "On-Rails" Feeling... Camber bolt/kit needs to go in to fine-tune suspension, I might get steering rack bushings just to make things twitchy. Not to mention I can still stiffen up swaybars, which I have yet to do, hehe...

I love this platform

[hamzam]

Saturday: Installed front camber bolts, top of hub. Might move them to bottom, and install bottom bolts up top for more neg. camber up front.

Loving the extra grip, and insanely flat ride.

Sunday: Retorqued Front/Rear Sway Bar hardware... No more Squeaks! No more ABS/TC lights!

[hamzam]

Installed GrimmSpeed Strut-Tower Bar & Hood Shocks... High quality stuff...



And believe it or not, the strut tower bar made a difference, as slight as it may be... twitchier, to say the least.

NEW WHEELS

Rota Grids, 17x9 in Titanium Chrome

Love them! Look spectacular. Spent a nice night in pouring rain to put them on.
Nice and light weight. My torques is back and steering doesn't feel weighed down by bricks anymore.

FUNCTION > form ... It's a law to abide by!

Courtesy covo86... Thanks again!

Today's fix:

Ark Resonated Front Pipe





I thought it was going to make a significant difference, but very tame.. Until you get on it. Love the sound , although totally different than before. Much more refined...

Vids tomorrow

If you want to , yes, but they are a tight fit as is and won't move once warmed up. Never a rattle.

Taking mine out after it was in for 2 months required quite some force! Comes in a variety of Outer Diameters.

I think it is a great product for the money.

so if i were to get one where would i put the insert? would anywhere after the cat be fine, or would it have to be right before the muffler? i was thinking of putting it on a dual exit exhaust after the mid-pipe and before the y joint.

It can be welded them into the header at the collector (before the cat), but it has to be before the muffler.

Your idea on doing it is exactly like mine, except you are dual, I am single

Depending on the amount of plates you get (1, 2, or 3) it will effect the sound accordingly, quieter with more plates. I got 2 plates, and was very happy.

I got rid of it after I got my car tuned because the tune took care of any drone.
