Krimlin's Firestorm FRS
Just to give you a little backround on me, I'm 23 in Texas been in the car game for years now.
It started with an idea in high school, let's all buy Nissan 240sx's so we can drifters lol. Well in 2008 I bought my 1995 Nissan 240sx SE. Did good put exhaust system on it thought it was so fast with its (dyno proven) 127 whp lol. Went like that for a while until I began doing actual mods like coilovers and arms, Drivetrain, rims. Then I wanted to go BIG... So I figured I wanted a V8 swap, but I wanted to be a purist so I wanted a Nissan V8, after finding a nice priced VH45de I began... Roll cage, suspension arms, knuckles for over 55* of steering angle. Needless to say I dumped $28,600 into a damn Nissan 240sx and never finished it now I'm paying for it...  2009:  Grip at GSS 03/28/10:  Soooooo now I just sold my daily Lexus IS300 and bought this beautiful car      The dealership added these mods which I was surprised cause it was quite tasteful for a dealership : TRD exhaust TRD ground control kit (springs/struts) 1.5" drop Airaid intake (woohoo -15 hp!) Motegi Special Edition rims Hankook V12 Evo tires And I've got the following parts coming in (so far) Greddy intake Kartboy short shifter Perrin crank pulley Aluminium alternator pulley Toyota GT86 badges (normally I'm against rebadging but I'm not rolling in a Scion lol and my state registration says it's a Toyota) |

I like those rims surprisingly lol, nice find on the dealer mods! I would've taken the exhaust and ground control kit over the rear applique and wheel locks lol

Also very surprised by the dealer mods, very tasteful!!! I really like the wheels and they are the style I am looking for in the future for my firestorm... when I have the funds.
Enjoy the car!
