Kevin's from salvaged to track FRS
Picked up this previously salvaged title 2014 FRS down in Houston, TX and brought it all the way to Iowa. The car itself is basically stock besides some Stance Suspension coilovers and lower control arms.
Once I got it home, I swapped out the brake lines, fluids, and pads and took it for a spin around Mid-Ohio. Car felt great and was a blast to drive despite having some 500 treadwear all season tires. Plan to turn the car into my weekend warrior track car that I can drive to and from the track.

Installed the Perrin Oil Cooler to take care of the high engine oil temps at the track.

Very nice, though I do think the FRS looks best with the spacer invaders plastic stuff in the front grille.
I painted the white hat on my crash bar using red plastidip and you actually can't tell the difference, I highly recommend if it you're going to leave it out there! |

I find the WL end links come loose easily. I would recommend some blue locktite. I have had to tighten mine twice in the last year, right front is making noise again.
