Snow White (Pic Heavy)

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Since I don't post much on any forums now days, I figured I'd pop back in here again and show you guys what replaced "Vios." She was replaced with "Snow White," a 2014 Scion FR-S Monogram.

Day I got her after waiting over a month for my order:

https://scontent.fsnc1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/1069816_10204219114504384_173857533413901560_n.jpg ?oh=8e6414f4a574d6587c41d22abd532213&oe=5AC58090

Was rather pissed off that it came to us with 12 miles (a little under since it gets driven 2 miles during the pre-delivery inspection process).

First mod was take any usable LEDs from Vios and use them in Snow White, so dome light and rear license plate lights.

First full detail after about a week of getting her, and rebadged with genuine Toyota GT86 emblems

Got full 3M window tint (Color Stable in the rear three, and Crystalline front sides)

Put in a K&N drop in filter (makes more power, unlike a full intake replacement that actually loses power)

Friend's FR-S was stolen and recovered, so I decided to help him out by buying his rear roof spoiler (only replica piece on Snow White).

Since the OEM reverse light are garbage, decided to install some 921 LEDs from The Retrofit Source.

Other misc. mods:

Toyota backing to my smart key to get rid of the Scion name.
*edit, picture no longer shows, and I can't find the pic anymore.


Replaced the factory Osram HID bulbs with Osram CBI HID bulbs for slightly cooler Kelvin.

Open Flash Tablet stage 1 tune to better utilize California's crappy 91 octane gas, and to help reduce the infamous FA20 torque dip.

Harbor Freight tow strap. I got high centered in our gravel storage lot at work. Had to get my manager to pull me out with his 4Runner.

And for those wondering if I actually tried an after market intake, I tried this Injen SRI for a week. I couldn't stand the horrible throttle response and heat soaking (I actually had the entire pipe wrapped in heat reflective tape (left the MAF sensor area wrapped when I sold it).

Thanks. Thought about going hellaflush, but 37 is crap and I already scoop up gravel into the engine bay at this height. Haha. Figured to go with a track look instead. Haha

Definitely not mad at you for not going the hellaflush route, I'll always love a clean track look! My next car will definitely at a similar height with some nice fitting wheels. Unless, I end up going with air ride, then I'll be going all out ;)

I'm actually happy I didn't go the Hellaflush route. If I had stretched tires, I'm sure the wheel lips would be all scuffed up. If you refer back to the clear side marker pic, you can see how much the tires dig into the gravel by just driving through everyday.

Also, another pic of when I got high centered (I removed the gravel and dirt that went over the rim/lip/barrel before I took the pic)

They definitely would be unless you have stiff enough springs. But yeah man, I hear you, this look is perfect as a daily driver.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

They definitely would be unless you have stiff enough springs. But yeah man, I hear you, this look is perfect as a daily driver.

Not necessarily. The tires just dig into the gravel, so suspension stiffness doesn't come into play. My spring rates are on the light(er) side at 6kg square. This really neutralized my car's handling since OEM, the rear is stiffer. Which is fine, because I can take on ramps quickly and have a neutral, to slight understeer feel. However, since I lowered the car this much, my center of gravity actually became higher, so it's an odd sensation of having less body roll with a higher center of gravity. :laugh:

[NYC-SE]

However, since I lowered the car this much, my center of gravity actually became higher

Not possible.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Not possible.

I was generalizing ther terminology. The specific term is roll center. My cars roll center is higher in relation to the center of gravity since I didn't replace all other suspension components. It's a very complicated topic, but look up "center of gravity vs roll center."

Thanks, bro! She's going in for an alignment tomorrow. I added a little more negative camber to my front left, and I need them to correct the toe spec from that added change. Also, the roads I drive on suck, so I'm sure something has gone out of spec since the last time I took her in for an alignment. So OEM shoes are back on in the meantime (rather risk nicks to those than the WedsSports).

Gravel is surrounding the exhaust pipe, touching the LSD, and pretty much everything else:

Great lumen output in parking light mode (anymore, and I think I'd get pulled over). However, turn signals are just not enough. I can't see them flashing on the ground from the cabin.

You haven't felt the awesome torque dip :bellyroll:. lmaooooo. jk. Out of curiosity, what about Subaru/their engines don't you like?

I don't like how they are flat and the piston is always dragging on the bottom of the cylinder. seems like it would cause more wear. I don't like how you have to perform 2 head jobs every 70,000 miles or so. I don't like the sound they make, and how they basically run like two 2cylinder engines in opposition. manly, I don't like the people whom drive Subaru. (in my area) they are so self riotous and pompous I could puke

Luckily for me, the only crazy thing in the maintenance book for the FR-S is the 60k spark plugs. Don't see anything about a head rebuild, although I knew it wasn't the most reliable engine type. haha.

The 86 doesn't sound like a "Subaru" since Subaru utilized an EL header. I actually want to replace it with an UEL header to get that boxer burble. :laugh:

In my area, it seems like EVO owners are what you described. lol.

Swapped out the OEM rear turn signals with VLEDs HVA bulbs (I'll swap Dory's on my days off since I have to swap the flasher relay on her still)

Decided to drive her to work today. Filled her up with some 100 octane on the way home.

[ern-diz]

Very nice

[justanotherdrunk]

white + slammed +100 = yea!

[Kaotic Lazagna]

white + slammed +100 = yea!

Granted I tuned mine "down" to 91 octane (actually improved power and torque). The FR-S was actually tuned for 93 octane from the factory since the majority of the US has 93 readily available. I mixed 3.5 gallons of this 100 octane with the rest of my 91 octane to get a mix slightly higher than 93 octane. She mainly sits now days with DD duties going towards my Yaris, so I figured it'll be better to have that 93 mix in the tank.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Washed her and put on her better shoes again.

Maybe 1/4 way done. Washed, Iron-X, washed again. Still gotta clay bar, Swirl-X, maybe polish, and wax.

Iron-X is really pungent. I was wearing an R95 respirator, gloves, and eye protection when spraying it on. Even with the respirator, I could smell it. I heard neighbors down the street coughing too. Careful if you use it, and try to spray upwind. I got some overspray on my arms; luckily I don't smell that bad.

You can see Snow white at the very far back. Probably at least 150 cars.

It was okay. I didn't know anyone, and it was way too hot to enjoy (I couldn't really think straight). I met up with NCVC after, and had more fun. haha

Since I plugged the sound generator tube from the cabin side, and since I haven't gotten her anything recently, decided to get and install this Perrin intake tube. This way I could fully remove the sound generator tube all together, and make the engine bay look cleaner/simpler.

Also went on an early 8am cruise with the (somewhat local to me) FT86club guys. I drove down 75 miles to meet up and do this cruise, that turned into a full speed run on the way back from the beach. I've never seen the slip indicator light go off so much before. haha

It was fun, but considering that I've never been on that road in my life, the roads were damp, and I haven't driven Snow White in who knows how long, I was surprised I was able to keep that pace up. I was understeering and oversteering a lot tho.

Gorgeous car! It must be a joy to drive. One thing I would do when first acquiring this car would be to have a front end 3M paint protection film kit professionally applied. Not everyone likes PPF though. I did what would likely be considered a waste by some and had a 3M PPF kit installed on our new 2012 Elantra GLS when we bought it. A much finer car, such as yours, would be deserving IMO.

Thanks! She is a blast to drive.

Unfortunately at the time I got her (2014), I didn't have extra spending money to do PPF (I don't like financing mods and pay mods in whole). She's got some chips (bumper and windshield) from an idiot passing on a shoulder and kicking up debris and rocks.

My next vehicle I will be PPF'ing the entire front clip and other portions of the car $$$.

Changed her oil (had 1500 miles only, but was 13 months old). Oh, and installed a genuine TRD front lip and side skirts =D

Nothing new, other than I drove her last Sunday to try to use up the remaining old gas before filling her up again.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Installed some Osram LEDs in the rear side marker (top is OEM, bottom is Osram). Those bulbs were the last non-LEDs on the car. Also installed a backup cam (the cam is angled a bit too down, but it's better than nothing), and the Tap-Turn relay (both cars have that now).

Replaced the Berk muffler delete with this Nameless 5" mufflers axle back. Great deep tone, and has more of the UEL boxer sound now.

[kimona]

Not a big fan of the boxer sound, but I must say it looks outstanding!

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Yeah, the UEL header sound is a love it or hate it kind of thing.

I was about to start replacing her speakers, but then thought against it since I barely drive her these days with my work schedule making me miss all of the local meets, plus they're doing a lot of road construction here leaving the freeways heavily uneven (I've been launched off my seat almost hitting my head on the roof, I've seen cars spark from bottoming out, etc). So unless my schedule changes and they're done with all this crazy road construction, I won't be driving her much. So I'm not going to start focusing on the audio, and will just continue with the exterior mods. At least I'd be able to appreciate that when even I go into the garage, unlike new speakers :laugh:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Plus, Toyota has the speakers wired weirdly. The dash speaker and tweeter are 4-ohm speakers, but wired in a way that the HU sees a 2-ohm load. And if you disconnect one, the other will not work. The door speakers are 2-ohm, and I really don't care about the rear speakers since they're pretty much useless to have in this car. If I ever get to replacing the speakers, I might disconnect and remove the dash speaker and tweeter, and replace the door speaker with a higher end component set up and run new wires to the component tweeter that would be mounted in the dash. Although 2-ohm component speakers are pretty pricey.

I know Toyota HU are 2ohm stable because they wire tweeters and front door speakers in parallel.

If you have 4ohm doors then dash+tweeter might be wired in series, and then all this wires in parallel with the door.

For the FR-S (not sure which other Toyotas or Scions), they use a 3-way component set up plus two rear speakers. The doors are 2-ohm 6.5" "subwoofers" powered by the OEM amp. I believe they're just regular woofers with a passive crossover tho. They do not sound that good since the bass produced isn't clear no matter where you put the bass level at on the HU. The dash consists of a 4-ohm 3.5" mid-range woofer paired with a 4-ohm 1" (or was it 1.25") tweeter powered by the HU. The rear speakers are 4-ohm full range speakers with a HPF via the HU and is primarily used for rear fill.

She got a MUCH needed brake fluid flush today. Brakes start as soon as I apply the brake pedal now! I had extra left, so I just swapped out what ever was in Dory's reservoir with the extra.

It's the 10" 300w RMS version. Just slapping it in, and with the bass setting on the OEM HU one notch below the lowest setting, it was triggering my dash cam's emergency event recording at volumes as low as 28 out of 50. :laugh:

Got to work earlier, and dropped the gain setting from 1/4 to somewhere around 1/5. Didn't really look, just stuck my fingernail into the adjustment knob and lowered it. lol. Bass boost was at 0 dB, so couldn't lower than anymore. What ever the gain was lowered to allowed me to turn the bass back to the middle setting, and I don't think it's triggering the dash cam anymore. So now I can adjust for more bass or less :biggrin:

Super quick to remove, so for my weekly grocery runs, I can just disconnect two connectors, and remove it to get full trunk capacity :thumbup:
