My new FRS

[Homer-Simpson]

Had the car for a few months but it seems to have spent more time away getting bits fitted than at my house! Midlands Car Care have been kind enough to look after the car for a while. They have given it a good going over inside and out (and under the bonnet), replaced a few bits and pieces and added some LEDs that I can activate via a wireless remote for when I am at a show/meet. I still have a few more things I would like to do and there is the under bonnet dress up kit still to go on which will be happening next time I am there. I just need to make a trip to Streamline Carbon to get all my bits fitted! Thank you very much Russ and Harry, you have done a fantastic job Anyway enough of me, on to the pictures!

I'm really at the limit of what I can do without forging the engine so that is the next part of the plan

Holy s**t that's awesome. (Apart from the gash lights and "spec-r" on fmic)

 

[JamesBryan]

Nice!

But a bit too many stickers for me... unless you work for Revo or Spec-R

 

[Homer-Simpson]

They have caused a huge split, they are on a remote wireless switch so I can turn them on when at a show (if I want the engine bay lit up etc).

What happened to the green FRS in your avatar?

I sold it to a guy down the road

 

[JD]

Too many bling bits for me, but for once I didn't scroll passed an FRS on Facebook (MCC page followed). Sounds like a nice motor and a happy man!

 

[Iain C]

Quite like the wheels.

 

[Starlet_gt]

Love it bar the LED lights. Hoping to get an FRS early next year. What power is it?

 

[Fletcher]

Not a fan of the lights Revo badges. TBH I think they look at lot better standard.

It's running Revo Stage 4+ with meth (mapped for power). Hopefully it will be running 600+ soon with very little lag

Bloody hell!

 

[Chi]

Fooking awesome.. love it

 

[LiamR172]

Imo it would look better without the lights and as many stickers.

Obviously the lights don't have to be on all the time but you know what I (we) mean

 

[Chi]

Love the lights too..

 

[leeds_182]

600 bhp! Wow!

 

[cat171]

I love it bar the lights etc. 600 though, that'll be crazy!!!

 

[JCC]

A lot of cash been spent on that, pretty much the most expensive option for everything at a glance? Very nice.

What route are you taking for 600? Twin Scroll? Mine goes for Revo stage 2 map at the weekend, I'll be happy once I reach stage 4 never mind 600!

 

[Ian_182]

That would look better without the stickers and black bonnet vents.

After that I love the colour and the wheels although i'd of liked to have seen them in silver.

Cracking power as well.Well done.

The roof is satin black so it went well with that, I would be interested to see what they look like in silver though.

[Semtax]

Thats some spec list!

More pics after get all that carbon fitted please

 

[Martin_172]

i shouldn't like that light above the intercooler but for some reason I do! I swear I get a bit more chav for every year I get older!

 

[fez]

wow stunning

 

[JackD]

Looks amazing, and is obviously a very high spec. The lights and stickers ruin it for me, looks a little need for speed wanna-be. But I guess you like it and you're the only one that really matters as it's your car/money!

 

[Nick172Cup]

Looks like a chavs wet dream, sorry.

Can appreciate the power side of things, but they look a million times better completely standard.

 

[Alan]

Looks awesome, although too many stickers and the Spec-R illuminated by the LED's, IMO makes it looks cheap.

 

[JCC]

As I suspected, pretty much best of everything, lol

I was taken out in a 550bhp big turbo RS today, crazy fast. Very little wheel spin from 3rd gear up too considering it's FWD, ridiculous cars.

 

[CrippsCorner]

I actually prefer these standard but still, that's pretty f**king awesome clean as hell!

 

[StephenJ]

That's lovely, nice plate too!

I've been speaking to Pete at DPC and he said the new turbo setup he has been working on should be ready soon. They have just posted pictures up....

Hopefully going to get a ride out in it, then it should be good to go if it's all good :race:

 

[GrahamS]

It's a bloody impressive car which looks fantastic and a brilliant spec list! True credit to you. Was passed by one of these this morning with airtec stickered all over it. Holy moly that car moved.

 

[Homer-Simpson]

Haven't really been out in it much and only recently got it back. Here are some pictures that were taken by Streamline, I haven't got a decent camera but really want to get some good pictures of it before it sells 😧

 

[JackJack]

So much want

 

[Homer-Simpson]

After breaking an alloy in a crater of a pothole I decided to get a few things sorted. The car was sent off to Midlands Car Care again for some TLC. The roof has been rewrapped, rear wiper and front splitter dipped in a carbon pattern to match the genuine carbon parts and the b pillar/windscreen washers/wing mirror plastics sprayed gloss black.

I think that's it for the moment, no other major plans as I have decided to wait for the mk3 before I either jump to that or go for big power on this.

 

[Gally]

I prefer them a but more standard looking. The standard ones stand out these days. Surely you'd be insane to sink more money into it over buy g s Mk3.

I'm hoping the mk3 doesn't disappoint when it comes to how it drives, I'm working on the misses to get rid of her car so I can keep this and get the mk3. Then it all depends on how much power the mk3 will kick out before everything needs replacing :smiley:

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Look into Mazda MPS tuning to give you an idea of what the 2.3 in the new RS will do.

 

[lbrench]

Really like the FRS, excited for the new one
