Well, I am close to completing my total tranformation today! When I go to pick my FR-S this afternoon, the following will have been installed by Automotive Outfitters:

Carbon Fiber Drive Shaft (This one tormented me for about a week to purchase). I figured what the hell you only live once!

Perrin Parts
Positive Steering Response Offset - .06 degrees
Rear Shirfter Bushing
Tranmission Support Mount
Front Sway Bar - 22mm
Rear Sway Bar - 19mm
Front Control Arm Brace
Rear endlinks (Pending purchase)

Cusco
Front / Rear Tower Bars w/ brake stop
Oil / Air seperator

Koni
Yellow Sport struts and shocks

Brakes (Tomorrow Friday)
DBA T3 Rotors
Hawk HPS / HP brake pads
Stainless steel brake lines
Motul Brake Fluild

Whiteline
Transmission Mount Bushing

TRD (Delivery pending from Carson Toyota)
Door Stablizers

I anticipate getting behind the wheel this afternoon will yield a whole new driving experience. . . . .

Yes, that was my plan when I started doing my reseach on everything a couple of months ago. Also, I forgot to mention the Perrin engine mount are also being installed. . .

You went to Automotive Outfitters?

Better check your brake calipers.. They have a habit of spray painting them without asking.

The sounds like a company you'd find attached to the back of a Walmart or cabelas. I'm jealous on the parts! Hopefully it all comes out ok!

Hopefully that drive shaft doesn't give you future problems (vibrations, etc)...
But that's awesome!

Guys, this is Jason. He was around last summer and after the mega meet fell off the map. This isn't his first mod and not his first car. I think it was a 350Z he tuned before this one.

Good to see you back Jason. You should try and make it to Darrens next weekend for the BBQ. I will have to tell you that we will no longer be twins though. Color change taking place this weekend!

No one questioned his past, this is a great platform regardless!
