Raven FR-S AutoX Build - Ontario, Canada

I've posted here a few times but generally just to sell something. But I've been captivated by many of the awesome build threads here that have motivated many of my purchases for this car. So in return, here's some shots of my FR-S after it went under the knife this weekend for new goodies.

Mods list so far is as follows:

- 5AD Rear Spoiler
- KW V3 Coilovers
- Enkei RPF1 17x9 +35 SBC Finish Wheels
- 245/40R17 Dunlop Zii Tires
- TWM M1 Abrams Shift Knob (Satin Silver)
- 3M Di-noc Carbon Dash Wrap
- K&N Drop-in Filter
- Greddy SP Elite Axle Back

...and the boring but oh so important stuff:

- Motul MotylGear 75W90 in Differential and Transmission
- Amsoil Signature Series 0W20 with K&N Filter

And now for the pics...







And after 7.5 hours of polishing (ignore my redneck fatigues and make-shift tripod):



I'll be competing this year in STX class for autoslalom after completing 2 seasons behind the wheel of a 2011 Scion tC modded for STU class. I've been autocrossing since 2005, driving a variety of different cars each year. This year will be the second time I've actually built a car for the class, so hoping to go for the class win like the last build I had accomplished.

More pics to come soon!

Nice car! First time seeing the SBC finish rpf1 on frs.

Hope the autocross goes well.

You might want to upgrade to header-back exhaust for more beautiful sound!

I kind of like the quiet exhaust. Had loud before and maybe I'm getting old, but this seems appropriate for me. Will see though. Bought the Greddy really just to fill the voids in the rear bumper left from stock.

Thanks for the comments!

Been a while since I've updated. While I don't have any new images (yet), I do have a video.

This is during a driving school event, where afterwards we had open lapping. I was in the advanced group. Most of the fun comes passing everyone around 10min in.
