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
