ReeceR34's 2014 FR-S
Hello all,
Proud new owner of a 2014 Scion FR-S. Background: Located in St. Petersburg, FL Have been a car enthusiast my whole life, I was that windows movie maker kid making supra compilations at age 10. Had a few 240sx's one in particular I modded while in highschool and sold before entering college. (see pictures below) After graduating last year the search was on to finally get back into a fun daily driver and reward myself for paying all cash for school while holding down a career debt free. About two weeks ago I finally purchased my 2014 Whiteout Scion FR-S from a dealer on the east coast of FL. The car did have some not so tasteful light mods such as a clear bra on the front half of the car and blue tint on the headlights and tails along with blue LED turn sigs. I negotiated the removal of the bra and tint and my signature contingent on the result. Well upon the result I discovered the bra was hiding some pretty nasty scratches on the hood. I then walked from the car and made the 3 1/2 hour journey home FR-Sless and upset. After inquiring with a local reputable body shop about a hood repaint I haggled the price off the OTD sale price and they accepted. In turn I walked away with a 1 owner Florida car with 14,300 miles on it for $15,000. It took weeks of offering slightly above trade in value and I'm happy with my margin now. Less than a week of ownership and the mods have begun: MODS: -Complete Set of Weather Tech floor liners and trunk mat -Full Redline Fluid Swap ( MT-90 trans, 75-90 diff, 0w-20 engine oil) -Covercraft UVS100 Custom fit sunshade in silver (worth every penny) -15% SunTek tint on all windows and UV clear tint on whole front windshield -All new oem Crush washers from 86speed (fast shipping) -Perrin 2" shorty antenna in black -Greddy magnetic oil drain plug -Open Flash Performance Tuner Tablet (OFT) Stage 1 93 tune ran and currently on stage 2 EL E85 tune. FUTURE MODS: -BC RACING OR FORTUNE AUTO COILOVERS WITH SWIFT SPRINGS -ENKEI RPF1 17X9 +35 OR 18X9.5 +38 AND I'D LIKE A MEATY TIRE STANCE 255 OR 265 TIRE? -SWAY BARS AND OTHER SUSPENSIONS ARMS -CATTED UEL (CATTED TO KEEP COLD START NOISE DOWN) -GOING TO KEEP THE STOCK EXHAUST ON -TURBO AND CUTOUTS? -PROPER DYNO TUNE CURRENT PHOTOS: My 240sx from before college: ![]() ![]() ![]() The new car (Photos descend from oldest to current,read background above for clarity) UGLY BRA ![]() BLUE TINT ![]() POST REMOVAL SCRATCHES ![]() SUNSHADE ![]() Floor Liners ![]() Goodies ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Current Aspirations: (sorry if you're a member here but love your setup)
