too bad there is no turbo... some bad babies are being built right now, over 500whp and stock internals holding up, which is a bit insane really.

if i was in US, this would be perfect sleeper car , for reasonable money you can make it crazy fast.

300-400hp would be plenty for this car with some higher grip tires and the weight loss it looks like this car is going to be seeing.

what an amazing build. Not only is it complete and impressive, but it's on one of the hottest cars on the market right now. With dealers literally selling out of these cars in days there are going to be a lot of tuners out there looking to make their even more special. Thanks for sharing these pics buddy. I will be watching this build

there are so many builds on this car at the moment, I would not be surprised to see someone doing something crazy like a TT.

This is a great build I am in love with the Fr-s and I will have to buy one when the time is right for me. I love the attention to detail and the way you guys tore apart a brand new car!
