Vittorio's TRD SE 86
Hi everyone, I'm back!
My previous build was a 2015 FR-S, which was a daily driver! After 104,000 miles I grew tired of it and started car shopping. I truly enjoyed this car, but it was time to move on! Mod list: Exterior: TRD Aero Fins, Seibon TS Hood, Verus Engineering Splitter, 86 Headlights/Tailights Engine/Drivetrain - Vortech Supercharger, Exedy Stage 1 Clutch and Lightweight Flywheel, Verus Forged fork Suspension - Eibach Multi-PRO R2 (custom rates), Eibach front and rear sway bars with Eibach adjustable endlink kit. Brakes - Project MU Club Racer with DBA Rotors Wheels - Rays 57CR 17x9 or Enkei RPF1 18x8 _____________________________________ I found myself within a TRD Special Edition and just had to get it! I ended up installing suspension and wheels an hour after picking up the car, haha. Suspension: Eibach Multi-PRO R2 Coilovers Wheels: Rays 57CR I don't really have a direction for this one, but I'm glad it's fueled the fire again! Last edited by VittorioS; 06-01-2020 at 03:38 PM. |

The gold 57cr's really make the decal work for me on the TRD SE.
Nicely done. |

Car looks great!
Just shows how terrible the factory TRD wheels are. |

Thanks for the kind words guys!
I took the car to ACH for a quick cruise, mainly going over the suspension setup. It seems like I'll be installing some rear sway bars this weekend! |

Update: Re-installed coilovers
I removed my coilovers for a rebuild at work recently and man, what a night and day difference! We did some custom valving on the compression side and 10/10 feels incredible.
I also opted to run a 2015+ WRX rear sway bar, with a softer spring rate on the coilovers, a stiffer RSB is a must on staying flat on corners without sacrificing ride quality. Last edited by VittorioS; 06-01-2020 at 03:38 PM. |

Ground Control Camber Plates and Injen Evolution Intake
Installed the following the Ground Control camber plates and the Injen intake.
Coming from a supercharged FR-S, butt dyno feels something with the intake installed. I had the car aligned at work, pretty conservative, but should still be fun to drive around. I also forgot to mention that I installed my Seibon hood, it's mainly for cooling. Under track use, I notice these cars suffer heavily from heat soaking and this seems to help out a lot. |

What made you get sick of your supercharged Frs? I had a buddy who had a vortech powered car and we were constantly battling issues every time he came to the track

I simply didn't enjoy the car that way. Loved the power bump, but the car not so much. I prefer to not have to worry about maintaining the car, but that isn't possible with a supercharger. The silver car saw a lot of track use, it was pretty reliable once I put a vented hood, no issues at all. |

Went down in width for my next set of wheels!
Saw an opportunity on Craigslist and decided to take it. |
