I dont know how many officers would pick it up but if you are cutting the vehicle metal you really wanna be sure

The Lux Motion kit is based off of the Rocket Bunny, but this kit coming contains fully enclosed wheel arcs. I would assume whatever issues you're facing with the rocket bunny, will be the same with Lux Motion

Contact me by PM if you know of any meets coming up.

I appreciate it. I would be more than happy with a ride in the passenger seat. We'll see what comes up, but probably not much. I might see if i have time one of these days to drop by the shop to check out the car if you don't mind.

I don't mind at all but I may be picking it up tonight/tomorrow. Fully completed. These guys at Prime Motoring only want perfection on a project so they try every scenario they can!

Gotta say mad Jelly! Your car looks sick! Please post up final numbers and impressions.

Nice. That's quick turnaround time. Waiting to hear your thoughts on the setup.

[Kochinopride]

Heading over to Prime Motoring in an hour or two. The car is not fully completed as the last step is to place the mappings on boost in the ECU. Right now the car is running 5psi just to make sure the hoses and pipings and whatnot are working just fine. Going to schedule a date sometime next week to put the car on a dyno and have it tuned with my boost mappings. Gonna try out the Flex Fuel throughout the week too. Reliability is key right now, then we can play

[CircuitJerk]

Ohh man, you must be stoked right now!

[Kochinopride]

I'm an adult, but I am excited like a kid on christmas. lol

I can imagine...I'm sitting in my garage drooling over my IC piping...how sad is that? Also the Tial components are amazing looking...almost looks bomb proof!

[Kochinopride]

Just picked up my car from Prime Motoring this morning!! It's currently running at 5psi just so I can test it out and give feedback and what-not. We're going to aim for next week final tuning for my boost mappings. I must say this car is a MONSTER!! Already feeling that my tires aren't good enough. The car is LOUD, but I'm used to it. I'm so damned happy with what I'm getting right now, but even more excited when this car is running 9-20psi!!! I'm going to make some vids of the car on idle, rev and drive. Then when the mapping is completed, I'll then make a comparison vid with a stock FR-S if anyone is willing...

All the wonderful things that were done to my car is now on pause... I got into an accident.. I wish I could say it's because I was enjoying my car too much, I wish I could say I was racing like a badass in the Fast Five... But I was avoiding an accident and unfortunately... I wasn't able to avoid it... The car is lost.

I am 100% good and healthy (Thank God).

I have contacted Mike from Prime Motoring who will be helping me in assessing what can be salvaged from the car (Aftermarket parts) and we're going to try to pull it off. Whatever can be salvaged will definitely go into the New FR-S... That's right, I'm getting another FR-S once the insurance part is done. I'll be getting an Ultra Marine, but most likely Manual Transmission...

So all in all... I'm on pause for at least a month. Bummer. I'll post pics of the wreck once I get some... I would like to also put out there that I am very happy with the safety of the car! If I were in the Lotus, I'd be either severely injured or dead...

Drive safe and Happy Holidays everyone!

Sorry to hear. Glad you are in good health and coming back with another car. Be safe and happy holidays.

[DriftEightSix]

Sorry to hear that you got into a crash,

good to hear you're okay.

Hope to see this build underway again soon!

[Supermassive]

Wow man that sucks, I was looking forward to hearing from you about how the thing drives...glad your ok though and still planning on running an FI FRS!

I'm currently neck deep in replacing my clutch in preparation for my kit coming in the first week of January.

Hope everything goes smooth for you getting back into a new FRS!
