New owner

So I'm pretty new to this, I bought a used 2014 FRS I've only added an N1 catback to it.

First time ever working on my car too! and it worked out pretty well...

So the next thing I did wad tint my windows and then I learned about plastic dip.

so here are the results of it.





Had to do some testing on wether using the cards or not was the best(without cards its the best.)



Got the super charger! here it is!


The supercharger is installed!!!

550CC fuel injectors and 255LPH fuel pump!




But I'm still pretty new to this, I'll be adding upgrades to my car little by little. And here comes the main point of the post.


What do you think I should upgrade/add next?


Also any places to buy parts that are rather cheap...(I'm not that rich )...

Catax.. I wonder if this works here....




Ps: No idea if this should be posted here, like I've stated before totally new into this.

Welcome. These cars are so easy to work on. Plenty of space to work on and DIY.


The black wheels definitely look 5x better.


Which mods to do next depend on whether you are looking for performance or cosmetic improvements and your budget.


If looking for more power here are two great places to start with:
Basic Bolt on mods intake, exhaust tuning guide

My two favorite free mods on this car if yours is manual:
DIY - Easy clutch grab adjustment (~10 mins)

How To: Clutch Spring Removal in 15 Minutes

Does any one have any recommended equal headers and front pipes? Also I've just added a super charger to my collection.

Too many damn smiley faces a hell of a way to start off a build though!

I would purchase some good suspension pieces. To me the stock ride height is annoying. Also I would think of some new wheels or at least nice tires to accommodate for the increase in power.

How much was your supercharger kit? Just an FYI, you can also use 3x5 index cards to plasti-dip your wheels if you dont feel like wasting a deck of cards haha

[Lonewolf]

I like how the wheels turned out...and the cat pic cracks me up

***I would start saving up for an upgraded clutch, brake hardware, and additional cooling mods...now that you have the supercharger you need to alter the car to handle the kit...

[stevesnj]

But first grow a thick skin for the nasty folks on here.lol if you search first then you'll avoid 99% of the nastiness..lol Good luck, looks great!

[hellagunner]

New update!!! I got the supercharger installed ! has some kinks though...

Also I had some 3x5's but I lost them somehow the day before I did the install. either way it's better without the cards.

I bought it for 2.3k It was used though. Gotta jump on those deals man.

[soulreapersteve]

So, what are the kinks if I may ask?

I don't plan on a turbo/SC until way down the road, if at all. I just love learning!

The installation of the Vortech kit sucked. If you've got little automotive background you'll have a hard time. It took allot of youtube and googling to learn how to do things. but I haven't tuned it yet, so I can't let you know about its worthiness all I've had to deal with was the annoyance of the installation. FYI the instructions suck.

Please take it easy on her until you can get a proper tune...I've seen so many people excited to try out boost before the car is ready.

*Also, I don't know if I missed it but do you have oil temp/oil pressure gauges?

I have Dash Command, an app for my phone that shows everything that I have a sensor for.
