Thought I'd start a wee thread on here showing what I've been upto recently and since I got the car over 6 months ago and to get some opinions and feedback on what yous think,
First up was some colour coded rs and ford inlay badges from dmb graphics


And fitted................


I'm gonna paint the outlay on the rs badge on the back black

 

Second up was a set of mudflaps, I got ones recommended by my mate Keith from wosrsoc and their of good thick quality, Keith also got the little rs stickers for them made for me, he also fitted them for me on his Sunday off, thanks again mate


Next up was changing the rear fog light to a clear one with a red bulb, so they matched but was still properly functioning
Then tinted all the rear lights using fly eye

 

Recently I've went a bit mad, my mate rab has set up on his own so we've made a start on the engine bay
Got a load off stuff from auto specialists for my birthday/Xmas
My birthday presides


My Xmas presides.....

And a fuse box cover I treated myself to with my birthday dosh


So we got busy last week to get it ready for the rm bodywork open day so rab could show off some of his talent
1st thing was to mark up the hinges and remove the bonnet


Then we offered up the under bonnet show plate kit, 14 pieces

And left to bond overnight.......

Flipped it over and got the bonnet vents masked up to have the louvres painted, not the whole vent


And the vents painted, absolutely delighted with the finished result



Then started to rip out the rest of the engine plastics that were to be painted inc... Slam panel, air intake, airbox, battery cover, fuse box, timing casing, cam cover, crossover pipe, the headlight washer covers and every nut and bolt cleaned scotched and blown over ...........
Everything out

All the plastics degreased, cleaned, scotched, rubbed down and masked up ready for primer

 

The cam cover and timing case in primer

3 stage of ultimate green



Stainless centre piece bonded on and a green stripe, the RHS isn't visible due to the crossover pipe hence why the stripe doesn't go all the way across


Crossover pipe finished and lacquered

And a little gel inlay from dmb graphics to compliment it

And the air intake and airbox, finished, laquered and flatted and polished, excellent finish again rab and the battery and fuse box fitted with the symbols done in green, thanks again for the free vinyl Keith

 

Fitted the timing housing, header tank cover and other caps and shines bits


Fitted the 2 piece cam cover, crossover pipe, etc, started to take shape


Fitted the bonnet back on, lined up perfect 1st time as rab had marked up the hinges etc so it went back on 100% as it was, plumbed in the windscreen scooshers, flatted and polished everything and done all the finishing wee touches to get it ready for the open day, big thanks to rab for the late nights and for keeping his temper despite me changing my colour choices etc 10 times lol
So here's some pics of everything reassembled and the whole car totally gutted











And my favourite by far, the car was detailed, washed polished and waxed and waxoiled before winter by rab to protect against the salt and guff on the winter roads, safe to say it worked as this was the result after just a wash and dry

 

Still to do.........
I've ordered a purple hose kit from Paul roose at roose Motorsport, thanks dalsy (wosrsoc chairman) for the contact, spoke to Paul today, he said this will be the 1st purple kit he has made for the mk2 FRS since he only got the new colour on Monday, he done me a cracking deal as I was a wosrsoc member and as my kit was his first, plus I name dropped dalsy as he knows him lol, hoses should be here early next week, heres the colour I'm getting,

Im getting the purple lol these two colours came available on Monday, chuffed im the 1st

Still to do...................
- wheels black with ug rim
- eibach pro lowering springs, 20mm drop all round
- eibach pro wheel spacers, 20mm all round

ENGINE
- stainless side rails
- stainless ecu cover
- hoses fitted
- sitech racing inlet plenum, in green or black, undecided
- spare battery cover airbrushed, (hulk themed)

PERFORMANCE
- revo stage 4+ software done by Simon at sitech, (450bhp)
- bigger intercooler, my pro alloy mountune one will be for sale when time comes,
- 650cc injectors
- induction kit
- larger down pipe, my mountune one will also be available at the time

And the gadget I'm most looking forward to which is newly available from sitech/revo is
Sps switch, means I can run 3 maps and switch between each as I please, I'm gonna have my big map, 450 bhp, standard map, 300bhp and one around 350/375bhp, similar to what I have at the moment, the switch is also removable and has an anti-theft function where it drags the map off the car and no mater if the car was ever stolen, broken into etc etc, even if they had the keys the car would go nowhere, wouldn't even start,
Little bit at a time though as I'm getting married in June and I've done well to get done what I have without the misses killing me

Massive thanks to Keith for his help and spare time and giving me vinyl etc
Dalsy for putting me onto Paul roose
And robert mc Donald at

For all your time and help can't recommend him enough :jumpeveryone:

 

Looks good mate..

Not sure on the hoses but its good to be diffrent sometimes.

 

Wasn't too sure on the hoses either but my little girl calls my car the hulk, he wears purple shorts so the engine bay will be green and purple, and I'm gonna get the hulks pic airbrushed onto my spare battery cover, yeah it's good to be different, that's always my moto, thanks for the comment and for having a look


Ps. To any mods
If I've broke any rules or posted in the wrong place or put up anything I shouldn't have please don't delete this thread as its my first and took quite a while to figure out,
I'd appreciate you edit it where/if required
Thanks

 

Looks amazing, I'd be chuffed to bits with that!

 

Very nice you will love the Revo 4+ kit, makes for a very fast point to point car . Add meth to get closer to 400atw

 

Thanks Richie I'm beyond chuffed

Yeah Neil I thought about it, but after speaking to Simon on tue, he said a more advanced map had been released on tue morn, and that I wouldn't need to change my current mountune fuel pump, al also be able to run 650cc injectors instead of 750cc, he said also that more will probably be released before I get round to doing it (due to wedding) so al see whats available nearer the time,
Thanks for looking and for the comment

 

Yip he has done Dicey's car on 650 injectors and the mountune pump, rather than the switch to 750's.
My car is in with Simon justnow to get cams fitted which should max out the standard turbo.

 

Happy days, I can't wait to get mines Done will be after the wedding (June) but I still can't wait, gonna try n start to source some parts nearer the time
Thanks, lemme know your opinion when u get it back,

 

Very nice.

 

Thanks Glenn

 

This thread is making me want a FRS, damn you!!!!
Must resist, must resist

 

Lol, thanks Jason, you'll never look back
Beginning to proper love mine

 

that looks mint love the bonnet vents look better than all black.

 

Thanks phil, I agree, I've always thought the vents done all black look too big, really happy with how they turned out
Thanks

 

Looking good mate

 

Cheers bud

 

New hoses got delivered from roose Motorsport today, delighted with them, here's a couple of pics

Out with the scabby old ones


In with the new



Paul flung in a couple of free keyrings also, cheers mate, 1 for me and 1 for rab

 

Looks cool, i like the purple pipes!

 

Love it mate!

Wasn't sure on the purple choice but when you said about your little girl calling it the hulk I thought even if it looked gash its a nice personal touch but it does really suit IMO.

 

I love these cars i pass a white one every morning on the way to work.I like the detailing on your car mate

 

Absolutely smashing mate. Looks the boll*#$. Well done. nice to be different.

 

Thanks mate

Carlos-titx
Thanks mate, I really like it too, and she loves it, it's good to give it a personal touch with some meaning behind it instead of following the norm, thanks bud

Mondeo rick
Thanks mate, appreciate it

Modena666
Thanks a lot mate, yeah It's always good to stray outside the box and be a shepherd instead of a sheep, I always try n be different, it's paid off so far, still a lot to do, wee bit at a time but

 

Nice work on your car mate, looks very tidy.

 

thanks mate

 

Looks stunning mate


Brian

 

thanks Brian

 

Have to say some nice touches there , I really like the bonnet Lourves centre painted black

 

thanks daz, I'm not a fan of the whole vents painted black, makes them look massive, and out of place IMO, best of both worlds here
thanks

 

Defo liking the colour combo

 

Contrasting colours look the nuts, I was trying to figure out what it reminded me of and then you said about your little girl calling it the hulk! then it clicked, nice job mate.

 

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments, was worried when I chose to do the colour combo that it would be too much and folk wouldn't like it but it seems to be going down well, just ordered more purple stuff and more shines bits off auto specialists so keep yer eyes peeled

 

Another wee update, took the front bumper off yesterday to tidy up behind it, mesh needed straightened and painted and intercooler looked shabby as hell,
So off it all came, everything gutted, painted and put back together, massive thanks to keith and rab for the late shift last night to get the car finished, couldn't have done it otherwise as the bumper was a f@@ker
Absolutely delighted with the intercooler



Just the header tank hoses to go on and a couple of sneaky wee other bits
Here's the hoses

 

Update time,
Crail was cancelled for me today due to the terrible weather so decided to get the engine bay totally finished and added some new bits and new stickers, went a bit pic daft so here goes, all thoughts welcome

New inlet manifold cover, new ecu cover and new header tank hoses,











Also added some matching stickers on the mirrors, the spoiler and on 1 of the vent louvres, not too mad but gives a clue as to what's going on under the bonnet lol





Photos aren't really great the colours all look different shades because of my phone camera, the green is all the same colour as the car and the purple is the same colour as the silicone hoses absolutely delighted with how it's turned out, massive massive thanks to rab at rm bodywork for all the hard work and his attention to detail

 

i like that it looks mint mate.

 

thanks Phil, appreciate it
