Default Kazumi - 和美

So going on the fourth month of ownership and I'm finally making some progress with my FR-S. Just this past weekend I lowered her on Eibachs' Sport Line springs. . Really brings the exterior together as well as offers a stiffer ride which I'm fond of. Stock was a bit to bouncy for me. Anyway onto the picture (s)

So is your color Raven or Asphalt? Also, what is the OFT doing for you? Is it similar to my Flashpro (for my SI)? You can unlock the ECU, tune it, then re-lock?

Sorry, I am not too much up on the 86 twins. I have done a little reading, and I see some dude made an electric supercharger setup, and now people are putting them in their brand new sports cars.. sigh.... And someone else made a e-85 setup that has burned down a car or two.

Yes Crim, I think it runs a whole .2 seconds faster in the quarter.. LOL, seriously. And people are paying like $1800 for it....

Wait - here it is.. Laugh at this as you go through the thread :

Im sorry, I just would not waste my brand new car on something like that. If you have money for a $26k FRS, and want to do something, add a turbo or S/C, tuning, and call it a day. Really, the car does not need more than 270rwhp, and even that would be sick.

I saw that thread myself a while back and it's just pointless.. With all the turbo and s/c kits that are available I don't understand why someone would blow money on that.

It's an asphalt. And yeah that sounds about right. I can datalog, check and clear codes, tune, and it saves a copy of the original file. So if I ever need to revert I can. Pretty good investment in my opinion.

I think I've finally managed to decide on which aftermarket wheels I'm going to get:

No sir! Don't get those, meh! Too much going on with them IMHO, and they look too "old school". Also (just my opinion) I dont like black/dark cars, with black rims.

Whats your price point? I'd rock these *****.. Vossen CV3's. (click below)

I actually already placed my order. I like those vossens but not like I like the mesh style. I blame my Starion for keeping my mind in the 80s ahah. I actually chose 17x8s up front and 17x9s for the rear; center will be gray with a chrome lip that's about 3 inches.

The wheels are fine, it's those chrome bolts that are killing it. And now you are going to add a chrome machine lip too? This is not good. *Face in palm*

Good call on the staggered stance though, that'll be nice.
