Guru's Ultramarine FR-S Adventure - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

HillCountryGuru · 03-02-2013, 08:47 PM

So to provide just a bit of back story. I had been looking all over for this car in this color, after a month had passed by there was not a single one I could find in manual in Texas. I was getting a bit frustrated so I decided to widen my search and found one in AZ, so I flew out the next day to buy it. In love ever since.

What I have done so far:

-Perrin Catback Exhaust
-Perrin Catted Front Pipe
-Perrin Overpipe
-Takeda CAI
-Window Tint
-LED Running Lights
-Redline Detector(Not part of the car but saves my ass)
-Enkei Racing RP03 Wheels
-Michelin Pilot Super Sport 235/45R17
-KW V3 coilovers

Currently in Progress(or shipping):

-led foot well accent lighting
-Perrin lightweight crank pulley

Plans for the future:

-BBK
-Oil Cooler
-Supercharger(This includes anything that needs to be put in before it gets set)
-Tune
-Taillights
-HID's
-Short Antenna
-More I haven't completely thought about yet

I am so excited about this car. I am sorry about not really showing the install of the exhaust, intake, and LED's. I decided to do this after I made the decision to go all out, and I want to share the experience. The Takeda Intake added a nice bump in power and added to that boxer growl. The Perrin Catback went on ok, although getting the stock overpipe off proved to be a bit challenging as two of the bolts stripped in the process. It sounds AMAZING, it is exactly what I wanted it to sound like. Very deep tone, but it isn't evasive, it adds a significant amount of power after getting that front/overpipe on. The LED running lights went on so easy, the DIY on these forums was a great help. Although I plugged the power wire into the fuse box instead of splicing into the white wire.

I will be updating this post on a regular basis as the modifications happen. From now on I will provide a more detailed description of the process!

Thanks for reading.
Pictures will go up tomorrow.

It's not "aquamarine", it's "Ultramarine"

edit: I see you have it correct in your profile on the side, so I can let it slide this time I suppose...

Few pictures posted, couldn't get too much under the car because I don't have my jacks here. Will get more of the tint in a bit, it came out really good.

Wheels and tires ordered as well, will have pictures of the car with coilovers and the wheels hopefully by Friday.

New wheels and tires have arrived! Got em slapped on, 20 miles on them and they feel great. So excited for them to break in. They are slightly lighter than the stock wheels by a pound or two. Michelin Pilot Super Sport 235/45 with Enkei Racing RP0-3.

Any more pics of the car with the Enkeis? I was thinking about picking up a set in the near future. I've always loved those wheels. Thanks!

Here is a picture with my new tails and closer view of wheel.
