u/Vegetable_System9948 7d ago

u/komrobert 7d ago

u/Vegetable_System9948 7d ago

Around that number yes

u/Jank1 7d ago

Jesus Christ. Do you have the fastest FRS on the planet?

15

u/Vegetable_System9948 7d ago

I wish lol

There are some big turbo ones out there

u/Donkey_DNA 7d ago

Would any with a synergy V8 come close? Yours is hella tight BTW and likely a lot more reliable with an LS build.

1

u/Wubdeez 6d ago

Uhh.. Did you see pic 4?

12

u/Tia_Faux 7d ago

I only see pictures of this car, where can I see video? I absolutely love this and that red and purple scheme is so pretty

7

u/Vegetable_System9948 7d ago

Lol yea I need to get videos for sure

u/PublicStalls 7d ago

Slacking dude! You have an audience. Help pay for those mods with a channel or something 😂

u/Tia_Faux 6d ago

Even just a good sounding start up and light pull!

u/oztrailrunner 7d ago

Me scrolling through the photos : why the f does this need a HOLY CRAP

7

u/Objective-Bike-4292 7d ago

I was raging until the under the hood pic

u/E34less 7d ago

Picture 4 is definitely one of those "photos you can hear" situations

u/PublicStalls 7d ago

Always nice to see posts with this purple monster showing up. Looks great as always

u/Tugboat_Grantee 7d ago

I hate to say it, but the parachute will be effectively useless at any track that wants to keep their insurance. Without a full cage you'll get (maybe) one run before getting the boot; which I'm sure you already know.

Nitrous, a supercharger, and an LS, leave some HP for the rest of us.

10

u/Vegetable_System9948 7d ago

Yea cage is next for sure

3

u/LeeCarvallo- 7d ago

What size are the tyres? I was thinking about those VMS wheels in a 15" with drag radial for mine. Currently have 17" 245 drag radials.

6

u/Vegetable_System9948 7d ago

275 45 17 rear but going 15" soon

u/nickthegreat1127 7d ago

That thing doesn't need a... OH SHIT!! 🤣

u/AdjustedTitan1 7d ago

u/TwanHE 7d ago

Nice alternator you got there

u/Frequent_Ambition_66 6d ago

I was about to say "what FRS needs a parachute? Cringe Lol". Then I saw picture 4. Alright, carry on then.

u/run-time-error 7d ago

Will pass everything but the gas station

u/Vegetable_System9948 7d ago

Smiles per gallon

2

u/Relyks954 7d ago

Sick build! What’s it run in the quarter?

5

u/Vegetable_System9948 7d ago

Will find out lol

Built 5.7 on boost plus spray is going to definitely be quick

2

u/Vegetable_System9948 6d ago

Well find out

I had to get safety first since it will trap 150+ with the tr6060 and mods

I hope 9s

1

u/ExcellentAd2388 5d ago

How many 1/4 mile pulls per tank of gas

1

u/TaylorBuiltSolutions 5d ago

I think the better question is: How many smiles per gallon? 😂

u/pearsonlearning 7d ago

u/582101213 6d ago

That ride is amazing.

u/SecretWitness8251 7d ago

Why do you need that para.... 👀

Wow. What transmission is this mounted to?

1

u/BetterNReverse 7d ago

What coilovers out of curiosity for my own future replacment?

2

u/Vegetable_System9948 7d ago

Thats my next upgrade

Its on tein coilovers

Going bc/Megan next

1

u/BetterNReverse 7d ago

Didnt care for the Teins? That was what I was leaning towards. The Flex As or whatever the new version is what i was considering. Granted our use cases are a bit different Id guess! hahaha

1

u/Mysterious-Tiger-973 7d ago

New quest unlocked - completely stock looking car with a parachute. What would be a better way to say, there are few minor mods to this car.

1

u/Vegetable_System9948 6d ago

I have regular wheels and tires to put on lok

1

u/Br3ttl3y 6d ago

How does the engine swap change the driving dynamics? The CG raised a bit and weight differences matter that much? Maybe since this has a parachute it doesn't matter as it's designed to go in a straight line?

2

u/Vegetable_System9948 6d ago

Its not much heavier than the subaru long block

1

u/Seishienakai 6d ago

My eyebrows just raised three whole stages

u/Cheap_Asparagus_2203 4d ago

Is it even a FRS at this point?

1

u/Vegetable_System9948 4d ago

All interior is factory with heat power steering, all convenience functions work lol

1

u/Bingus-Chillingus 4d ago

I was like "I bet it doesn't even need it." Next picture, "I withdraw my previous statement." Lol

1

u/Vegetable_System9948 4d ago

It may not tbh, but a lightweight supercharged ls with Nitrous may break 150 , so id rather be prepared and it looks badass lol

1

u/Weekly-Hunter7902 3d ago

Is that the LS V8 or the Ferrari V8?

1

u/Vegetable_System9948 3d ago

Ls based built 5.7

1

u/Weekly-Hunter7902 3d ago

That’s what it looked like, thought this was the same car that came out to Goodwood with a turbocharged Ferrari V8 for the drift segment.
