From the grave to the track.

Well I just picked up a 2014 Fr-s from an insurance company for $4,000.
It has 10,600 miles on it and I'm going to be using it to drive in Vegas Drift, LVRSCCA, and Speed Ventures events.
Since I don't have any social medias I'll post the progress of the car here


This is it in the salvage yard.

The day the delivery guy dropped it off I put some nice track wheels and tires on it. RPF1 17x9 with Kumho V720's

I got a new door along with some other parts from a really cool person I met on this forum.

I painted the factory tow hook red because it probably adds like 10-12 horse power.

No dash lights at all, (besides air bag light) No mechanical issues at all, suspension is unscathed, frame is straight; it's all cosmetic damage.
And thank you bud!

Heck of a deal, and glad to see it being enjoyed! Any plans to slap a grill in the front to protect the cooling components?
