TJ's Whiteout FR-S

[MCTeeJ]

I bought my car in March of 2015 and have spent a lot of time on this forum. I finally decided to make a profile and put together a progress thread here. My car is pretty basic, but I like to think less is more when executed correctly.

First "mods" lol. Berk Muffler delete and VHT red tail lights. Didn't look terrible until the Florida sun faded them quickly. In retrospect I should've cleared them.

January 2016:
Installed a CNT racing catless UEL header. Managed to destroy the overpipe to header gasket on install due to being a noob, and got a massive exhaust leak. Good times. Header has held up to this day, though.

[MCTeeJ]

Added a few things here and there.

Ksport Coilovers 7k/6k

Ambit RE02 17x9 +35

Sumitomo HTR ZIII 245/40/17

A style front lip

Alignment at the time was -1 F -3 R with factory spec toe.

New Shoes! (again)

Manzo V2 catback acquired used off of another 86 in northern Florida. This exhaust was already discontinued at this point, and for good reason. It's a Greddy rep without any of the quality. The Y section rattled the subframe on takeoff and no combination of aftermarket hangers would fix it. Horrible drone. Sounded great on the outside though, lol.

Bought an OFT to match up to the catless header. I used it for about a year without any issue, then i started having problems on e85. Every time i broke traction on 1/4 tank of fuel i got a CEL for the fuel level sender, despite it functioning correctly. My fuel trims were wildly off as well. Eventually made the switch to a pro tune on Ecutek and never looked back.

To sum things up with this product, I think it's a great solution to a lot of people who are looking for cheap NA power. It didn't work out for me personally, but i know a lot of people are happy with it and therefore don't try to make my experience taint others.

Valenti red lens tail lights installed. Was so excited to install these right out of the box.

[MCTeeJ]

Photoshoot with all of the new goodies, including a paint matched HIC roof spoiler that I didn't have an individual pic of.

Played with the camber a bit to make the front wheels play nice with the fenders. Went to -4 in the front with some SPC eccentric bolts.
Tires are Federal SS595 in 225/40/18.

[MCTeeJ]

Little one here. Ebay clear sidemarkers.

[MCTeeJ]

This is one of my absolute favorite additions. Modbargains CFW spoiler matched to 37j. Had to wait a few months for this due to back order.

[MCTeeJ]

Some light painting shots. Really love how these turned out.

[MCTeeJ]

Started off 2017 right with an oil leak! and at second most common location!

[MCTeeJ]

Delicious Tuning MK1 FF kit installed. Easy. Disconnect fuel pump fuse, attempt to start the car a few times, and disconnect. They even include the disconnect tool.

After this i was blessed by the ginger wizard of HRI tuning with a flex fuel tune.
