*KID*Firestorm Build/properly built to my taste
Starting another journal. This time Im going to try and keep up with everything.
I got this car back in June 2012. The intensions with this car is to have a mild setup up with good power, like it shoulda been from the factory, and slowly getting all the neat Toyota pieces. As far as suspension goes, Im a big geek for that so I have a list and wheels still open for some new CCWs or Volks TE37SL. My time is very limited with work and business, so it will be hard to use the car for track, but I will make time for it once I have a go. As mods go on the car Ill be updating the this OP Engine: Works Drop in filter Supertek Intake Tube Motiv HFC Front pipe Motiv Over Pipe Tanabe Concept G Catback DDPR Tuned Suspension/Brakes/Wheels: HKS coilovers Whiteline subframe bushings Whiteline rack n pinion bushings Eibach Front 25mm sway bar Eibach Rear 19mm sway bar Dunlop Direzza z2 255/40/17 Rays 57extreme 17x9 StopTech Brake lines Motul Brake Fluid STI Brembos and DBA4000 rotors in the works Exterior: Opticoated Toyota Badges Toyota Center Caps Toyota clear bumper lights Toyota GT86 foglight bezels Toyota GT86/BRZ Spoiler Toyota GT86 taillights BRZ foglamps FRS debadged -----------PICS----------- When I got the call from the dealer After she got washed up for me After I had a custom axle back installed (removed) Injen intake on (removed) Whiteline Inserts Taking car of some rock chips Foglight Bezels BRZ foglamps Prepping the car for the Opticoat Opti-coated/Toyota badges on/GT86 exhaust tips on Front end shot (dirty) Motiv OP/HFC in box Strapped and ready for some tunning Outcome: Red - Motiv OP/HFC Blue - Motiv OP/HFC/DDPR Tuned @Illusive How she sits at the momet Update: 4/14/13 BEAT SONIC shark fin installed GT86 Bezels and BRZ Fog Lamps Installed my new spoiler Got these plugs to cover the holes from inside the trunk Walaaa... looks wayyy better now.

Oh someone who has the BRZ/86 spoiler on the FRS. Is it me or does it look a little to small? (length wise)

I was initially going to go all out with Tein coilovers, and squared volks te37s with rs3 but Im having a boy on the way... which is why I settled for the Springs...so wheel choice would have to be cut in half so Im looking into the 18in. Wedsport TC01

I could have made more but oil temperature was holding back timing, so Ill be ordering the Perrin oil cooler next and get it retuned.
