Ravenlokk's Raven FR-S 6MT
This is my daily driver, on a 41km commute each way. I work in sales so the car will be seeing a fair bit of city driving during the day in addition to the commute... Plans are to build it up without compromising driveability or reliability.
Current upgrades: AIRAID Intake. Cusco Front/Rear Strut Braces Cusco Brake MC Stopper Cusco Oil Catch Can On Order: Perrin Crank Pulley Nameless Axleback Exhaust Soon... (hopefully christmas/spring 2013) ??? 3" Overpipe ??? 3" Front pipe ??? 3" > 2.5" Midpipe ??? Oil Cooler ??? Wheels + Tires Future: (likely not until fall 2013-spring 2014) AVO Turbo Kit ECU solution (probably ECUtek) ??? BBK ??? Suspension upgrades  More pics to come... Should have pics this weekend after a bunch of parts arrive

Cusco Strut Bars w/ Master Cylinder Stopper and Catch Can arrived yesterday! Thanks @genometuning
 Bar didnt come with, nor did it require directions, took about 5-10 minutes to install. Majority of the time was getting it out of bubble wrap... high quality Japanese packing tape... lol The catch can was pretty easy to install as well. The instructions were all in Japanese so they were pretty useless. I just looked at the picture of similar installs on the forum and it was easy. I wasn't sure what length to cut the EGR tube, and the tube supplied was quite short. It ended up cutting the "in" tube a bit short (and couldn't zip tie it to the other lines near it) so i could run the "out" tube under the plastic part of the intake manifold.  It actually worked out pretty well. Hopefully the clamp on the intake tube holds because the barbed connector for the oem egr tube is actually a bit smaller then the tube provided. Got the clamp on pretty tight and it didnt seem like it was going anywhere. Edit: Didn't install the rear strut bar yet. Waiting till new car is ready before i sacrifice my trunk/back storage  .
