**** BMF's RAVEN FR-S**** - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hello all, I'm going to start the thread now, then will update as I progress with my RAVEN FR-S

To introduce myself, My name is Yongchan Kim, People here call me Kim just because it's easier to pronounce Kim than Yongchan.
I'm from Korea, currently reside in Columbus Ohio.
I used to live in Toronto for a long time before moving to Ohio, I also used to hit up tracks around Toronto(Dunnville, Shannonvill mostly..)

I have gone through cars like socks in the recent few years, including DDs and beaters I sold 6 cars last year alone..

And Finally a car I think I'm not going to sell (or at least for a long time)

few remarkable cars that I used to own are R32 Skyline GTR, 06 STI(track), 10 STI, E55 AMG, Cammed C5 Z06, E90 335i, and C6 corvette that I just sold for FR-S

To be honest, FR-S is the slowest (straight line) out of all the cars I have owned(even some of my beaters), but I'm having so much fun driving everywhere.

still learning this car as I only had it for a few weeks. But everytime I get in and drive, it impresses me.

Some people thought I was crazy for selling my C6 vette for a FR-S, but I don't regret it. More practical, comfortable, less gas, fun to drive everywhere, Ican drive through the bumps and gas stations now !!

But anyway, I'm hoping to use FR-S as a DD, and my expectations are both good street looker + fun on the weekends.

I havn't modded my car yet, but I already have a list of stuff that I'm going to do soon so check back when I update the thread.

Future(soon) to do list

-Tint(calling the shop tomorrow)
-Coilover system( havn't decided which one yet)
-Work Emotion CR KAI Kiwami 18x8.5 +47, 18x 9.5 +38 for looker

-RPF1 17x8" for fun use
-smoke side markers
-lightly smoked tail lights
-headlight retrofit or HIDs until a solution
-LED interior, plate lights
-Shift knob
-Shorty antenna
-Exhaust
-K&N air filter
-5axis or TRD kits(maybe..)
-In-Dash Nav

Anyway Here are some of the pics as of right now !!( sorry for the shitty quality, just took them with point and shoot camera I had in a dark garage. )
