New FRS

Just picked up a new FRS today. Drove it up the s2 from LA to Riverside.



What a car not a ton of power but had a great time in the new ride.



Now I just need to lower it a bit.
Also I think a super charger maybe in order.

One thing I noticed while driving it. The ABS felt a little too sensitive, I had it kick on 2 time while braking. Is this a common problem when driving these car aggressive.

Break-in guidelines recommend no hard braking for the first 1000 miles.

Well that's out the window isn't it. I don't think that would affect the ABS just help seat the pads. Pretty sure the car is well broken in within 150 miles of use.

I got a exhaust upgrade today. Shop did a awesome job. Mandrel bent 2.5 from the cat back. I added a resonator to keep the volume down and help eliminate the drone. Car sound a little bit louder than stock. Not sure if it picked up much power but seems to pull a little better. Now all I need to add is a super charger big brakes v3 coilover's and I'm done.
