As soon as CLovis showed up, I was trying to figure out if someone started talking about guns in this thread, or something.

Thank you very much everyone. I'm still trying to get used to the new lens. I think I overdid it on the editing though

Tamron 10-24 f3.5-4.5. Its awesome and rather inexpensive.

I know, I know. I hope to get a BBK this Spring. Maybe. Hopefully.

DAMD makes some quality parts, but that kit in particular should have been aborted before it hit clay modelling.

Thank you kind sir.

Even better!! I could get one on the cheap and swap my stuff into it! Ive been looking around, but Im in no rush to get into an Accord - if I get into an Accord. I can never make my mind up, I just know I want something with a bit more space that will still surprise people. I've really been considering leaving Hondas entirely though

*Checks VA DMV, plate is available

If I saw that plate I'd think you were Derp Nation.

Saw an FRS the other day with the license plat of "FRST"...I'm guessing his was also one of the first 86. Kind of clever.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

This car has so much aftermarket support I am jelly. I was looking at modified magazine today and the entire magazine was just about this car. They had a sema section with about 30 new parts just for this car.

They did a mod comparison with frs vs civic si to see which car took to mods better. They used same mods on both car(tires, wheels, suspension, etc). The civic took slightly better to the mods since it has more room for improvement. Both cars were putting down similar lap times and lateral g forces. The frs was only faster in a few tight turns. The civic had no front sway bar which affected tire scrubbing and the lsd also. If I remember correctly the civic shaved about 4.5 seconds and the frs was around 4 seconds per lap.

Before with ugly hood prop:



After with nice, new struts:





These struts are really nice because Grimmspeed actually put thought into the design. This hood is really light, so letting gravity take over when closing (letting go when its around hip height) is the best way to shut it. The other hood strut kits on the market don't allow that due to the angle of the struts, so you have to push on the hood to get it latch - risking a dent. This allows you to close the hood just like stock.


They shipped them with little gold tags with the Grimmspeed logo on them, Im not sure if I want to put them on though.

Hood struts; wouldn't have even thought of it, but that's a nice touch. Well done.

Time for a walkabout to find yourself?

You know what I noticed about your car, Morgan?


It's fucking sexy as fuck.

It cuts cost and weight. A lot of new hybrids have hood prop rods even tho the cars are pricey.

damn

looks sick Morgan...love how you are modding it...

Thanks guys! I wish I could drive it, buts its just too cold We should be back up into the 50s by the end of the week, so I might get a chance to break 20k miles

Brandon24pdx

one of them little 10lb dry cell batteries would be cool for a car like this. Saves some weight.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Ive got an Odyssey PC680MJ that will be going into it, Im just waiting to get a battery tender before tossing it in. Its 15lbs, but the stock battery is around 30-35lbs. The CCA on the 680 is about half what stock is, but it should still be good since this car won't be run in weather below freezing.

^^^ be careful with that Morgan....my 11lb-er braille did perfect in the summer...once the temps dropped below 50, I needed a jump n carry unit LOL

I saw this at C&C yesterday morning. Know anything about it? Had NC dealer plates.













And the blue BR-Z with CF goodies showed up as well. The fitment of the hood and trunk looked great.

iTrader: (9)

My tires don't work below 50*, so that doesnt matter

Dem swirls!

The flat blue one Ive never seen. I like the lip kit though. And Id probably get the trunk if the lip was flared up a few degrees more. Oh, and if it weren't $800. But mods on the FR-S are going to be very slow this year as Im focusing on building another car Just gotta part out the CL and all the J parts.

rockstar143

and no huge sound system either...

we did the hood strut mod for Betty too...but we traded in the accord for a cadillac that came for it, not a very cost effective mod for us.

iTrader: (3)

curious to see what that other car is.

iTrader: (5)

I like that blue color, but not feeling the rims at all....other than that I like the car

about Battery, yes, if you dont use the car in the winter, get the 11 lb-er....its a killer battery and I do recommend the Schumacher SC-600A

I LOVE those Rotiforms Wish I could afford them


Edit: NM, looks like they are pretty reasonable in price.

iTrader: (5)

^^^ I agree, love them rims, but not on the FRS....

Morgan, I think you did a very smart thing going with CE28's...love the weight on those

I searched for CE28 and TE37 in KC and STL and around, and found NOTHING !!! all ballers are on either coast of the country

ACCURATEin

Coolcarbro.

Is the scion forum as cool as acurazine?
