yeti-FRS build

hey . my name is victor. picked up my whiteout frs about 3 months ago. my previous car was an 05 wrx premium with full bolt ons and fp green turbo. i loved it , but my work forced me to sell it and buy a truck . so i have been saving for a while and decided this summer is the summer i by a car again. so i was looking into everything, from s2k's , to supras to rx7's and ofcourse sti's. i set out to by a hawkeye sti . but the prices along the mileages that i was finding were not looking good for me . i have always had a thing for boxer motors. i love the sound , the look and the feel. so one of my friends told me to look into the new 86's . i completely forgot that they came out since i stopped following them last year . i started looking , and i started liking , the next day i went out and bought an frs.
this was the drive home

as you can see from the pic if you look closely. im smiling lol.

well the first mod to the car was coilover, i went with bc racing . great ride and very comfortable for daily driving. once i installed them i heard this crazy thud in the rear everytime i would hit a bump. i the the shocks were blown so i contacted bc racing and they were very helpful. after taking the out, re adjusting the spring load and re torquing everything , i figured out the noise was my trunk ... seems that toyota and subaru didnt do a good job with the truck latch because there is alot of slop in it you will notice once the ride gets stiffer , well atleast for me .

next was wheels. i wanted the gramlight 57 extremes but couldnt justify spending that much money on just wheels . so i went with reps. konig torches. konig did a very awesome job with these wheels. very nicely done. i went 18x8 +35 with 235/40/18 neo-gens all around. i plan on going larger in the future but i got a deal with the wheels .

thats how it sits now . i plan on doing alot more. possibly a supercharger , and trd lip kit . a friend took some pictures of my car before the wheels
