Nice wheel choice. They go well with the overall color scheme of the car!

Thanks. I am actually surprised at the fitment with such a high offset and stock ride height.

Nice choice on wheels, can't ever go wrong with a classic like the TE-37.

Love love love your wheels!! I love Te37s, just wish I could afford them.

What's your tire size? They look beefy, which I love. I'm probably the only one who likes fatter sidewalls.

Thanks. TE37 is my favorite wheel of all time. I have actually stopped selling mine when cars sell etc and am working on an all size/ offset collection haha.

These are 17x8+44 believe it or not. They are much less sunk than I had imagined a +44 wheel to be.

The tires are 235/45/17 Dunlop Direzza.

Thank you sir. I can't wait for the replacement vehicle to come so I can do a bit more to it. Excited though.

I was finally able to trade out my car and pick up my New FRS.



My frist FRS was number 5,5XX and this one is 11,XXX so a bit strange that it is double what the previous was.

I put a fair amount of miles on the first FRS since purchasing it July 24, 2012.



Anyway here are pics of the new arrival.




Notice that was placed on the old car once the inspection was completed.



All that is left now, is for me to get the clear bra work done and send in for the reimbursement. The actual vehicle exchange process was very quick and easy (as far as the day of the transaction goes).

Picked up a brace at SEMA from Cusco as well.

Well, two weeks ago I signed a race sponsorship deal with Tein. The car will be running Tein Monoflex Coilovers for the 2013 Lap Battle season here at Miller Motorsports park. I should see the coilovers in the next few days. I hope to have them on next week.

Also, here is a video to show the TRD Exhaust Notes for now:

Alright, as some of you know, Tein is sponsoring my car to run in the street class Lap Battle events this year. So, with that knowledge, you probably would guess that I am now running Tein Monoflex Coilovers on the FRS. I feel bad because I haven't had a minute to put the Tein decals on yet, but they are coming. It took me a while to squeeze the install in. The decals are on today though

I received/ installed them yesterday. Even with completely Japanese directions, I was able to install them in just a couple of hours.


I wanted to let them settle in and get an idea of the set up. Here is a shot with them at basically stock ride height:


This morning I lowered the car and took it to Cars & Coffee.


Getting very excited for this car and this race season. I have never ran the street class before, only race class.

I played with the ride height a little more. I think I will leave it right here.

A couple of new shots from today:

Why did you end up getting a new FRS? I'm ever so slightly confused.

Nah, I'm actually really confused.
