Figured it was time to start one

The day I picked her up. My friend @jay@scionsales sold his m3 and got an frs, I liked it so much I test drove his and had him find me one. 2 days later I traded my 2013 tacoma for a 2013 frs with Factory spoiler and trd exhaust!

Mods:
Revworks UEL
Nameless 3" axleback w/ 4" mufflers
Perrin Master Cylinder brace
Perrin Drop-in
Perrin LTW crankpulley
Perrin Silicone inlet Tube
Perrin Silicone radiator hoses
Perrin Black shift knob
Koyo Aluminum Radiator
Whiteline 22mm Front Swaybar
Whiteline Subframe Bushings
Whiteline Diff Bushings
Whiteline Trans mount bushing
Mtec Shifter Springs
H&R Supersport springs
SPC Camber Bolts
MSR 045 18x8 +35
Hancook HRII 225/35/18
Beatsonic Shark Fin
Helix Sidemarkers

Redded stock tails

I babied it through the 1000 mile break in(it was damn tough)but at about 800 miles I got fed up with the ride height and pulled the trigger on some h&r Supersports from Ft86 speedfactory

Much better

Then I did my first autocross(in this car)

The car did very well! Much less body roll then stock, and the handling was amazing. I'm coming from a BMW with full ground control coilovers, big swaybars, poly bushings in everything, and 140 tread wear toyo's and this car felt better! I did however find the limit of the stock tires, as I pulled three times within a tenth of a second of each other. I just couldn't go any faster.

With the mod bug still itching I decided to red the tails. I had yet to see it on an Argento, and I love it.

Then I placed another order into ft86 speed factory! Love those guys and the site.

Installed the intake yesterday. It was very very easy.

And just sitting with my e30

Looks like you're having a blast with it...the stock tires are the biggest thing holding it back, once that's taken care of, the fast driving can begin...

Mileage: 2650

Purchased and installed my Revworks UEL header! Side effects, CEL(obviously) and reduced fuel economy...because I cant keep my foot out of the fun pedal. Waiting on my nameless 3" Axleback with 4" mufflers. It shipped today and will hopefully be here by monday.

Was the TRD exhaust really that quiet? lol

Lonewolf · 07-18-2013, 11:54 PM

velin86 · 07-19-2013, 12:16 AM

Love the wheels. Can't wait to see the future upgrades.

I'm used to long tube headers, catless with a resonator and single muffler on my BMW, so yeah. Haha. Also it really just made a bunch of noise on start up and in the low rpms, but was way quiet in the upper range.

Yeah as an extra precaution. When everything was tightened it just didn't seem like the gasket was gonna seal. I could fit my finger nail in between the gasket easily.

When you quickly glance at the back of the car, I thought you had put a Chevy badge on the trunk. Seriously confused until I went back and looked again

Car looks great!
