Whiteout's FRS Stance, Wilwood BBKs, custom emblem, Preparing for FBM Turbo

Well I bought this car after I totaled my 2002 e46 M3. I really dont want to tell the story of what happened to that car so I wont. I bought the FRS in 2013 for a little over 26k with the military discount(1000 off). I fell in love with it right away. The power from it was not too good, but i didnt expect much since it comes stock 200hp. I am coming off a little over 400 from my e46 M3. The handling was great though. I would say its just as good as the m3. After owning it for a week I threw on some stance coil overs. After that came the fun of the wilwood 6 pot front BBKs. I just got them installed today(4/12/2013). I waited a little over a week to get them here.

Thanks to phasetek for the BBKs gave me a hell of a deal. I dont know how the attachment works for pictures on forums but i attached the pics of the installs.

It works well I made it more stiff to feel every bump on the road. I did it to help me on the track. I Like to feel every uneven surface when I tracked that What I loved about the stock m3 suspension.

Update since the rear end.

Ordered my Perrin Exhaust thanks to Mike at Concept Z Performance (1 August 2013)
placed order on group buy on 86 center caps. (1 August 2013)
Ordered Pioneer X5500BHS head unit (1 August 2013)

Will post pictures once items come in and installed.

finally going to pull the trigger on getting a turbo kit in October. I go to Advanced Leadership Course in San Antonio October so I am going to ship my car to florida while I am in the course. I went with FA20club.. nothing but great reviews on the product and customer service. He answers all my PMs and there has been a lot. Can't wait until the end of the year.

Don't believe I've ever seen that sight before - a BBK hidden behind stock wheels on this car.

I know I am too cheap to buy new wheels. I am not buying new wheels until after everything else is done basically. I am going to change out the tires and center caps before I turbo charge of course.

Then I will sell my greddy Cold Air Intake system which will pay for 1 wheel hopefully. Probably going to get ROTA Grids in red. what do you think

Yeah, that should look good. With a white car, you're pretty much free to have any color wheels you want, so long as the car is clean.
