Please help!!!!
I picked up a 2015 White FR-S from a shady dealership because I plan on turning it into a track car. That being said, whoever had it before me definitely tinkered around with it a good bit. That and the s-chassis stickers leads me to believe he dabbled on the drifting side of the house...
As far as appearance wise it has S-CHASSIS and #FKCANCER stickers on the side. Looking deeper, the biggest most obvious thing is all of the skid plates underneath are either gone or cut short. There is also a bash bar mounted up front underneath the front bumper skin. A few other nit-noid things like the silicon\sealant on the timing cover is the wrong color and it looks like the rear suspension bolts on one side look like they’re in backwards. It’s all good and I promise no hate for whomever owned the car before me but if anyone knows who this was or is willing to contact them I could really use some heads up on any problems it may have\had. It’ll help me be able to get in front of a few things. I’ll even buy you a case or some whiskey... or whatever. Please help! |

Sounds like an experience.
you're probably best pulling the carfax, as it usually shows where the vehicle was registered at different times in it's life. generally, cars like that come from auctions, and are shipped all over the country, and it's unlikely that it was a local car.

Great approach/attitude Post up a pic of the car. If not the previous owner, maybe someone else might recognize it and know where to point you. Good luck!

It was definitely in this area. I took all of the stickers off of the car (most of them on the windows) one of them said “S-Chassis Woodbridge”. Here are the pics of the car... The other thing I peeled off was the purple-ish chrome paint he did on the side view mirrors. One stand out thing is the tinted headlights.
