Scion FR-S

The turbo version will be neat when it comes out. They're supposed to handle excellently. As for acceleration, it weighs little and has 200 horsepower, so it's not a slug, but it's not Corvette standards either. You'll definitely accelerate decently quick. -

I don't know why everyone is dogging on it. It's going to be a very capable platform. It's not hard to see. -
How do i add another battery?
ChrisAllen replied to Danny Ruiz's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
Searching helps a lot. It's soooo easy to do, and you could even search on google. I doubt anyone is going to spoon feed for such an easy subject since there are plenty of write-ups and how-to's of adding another battery properly as well as upgrading your alternator (which you should plan on doing if you plan on pushing a lot of power) -
Guy brings a bogus not complete eGay turbo kit to the shop for us to install. The owner who has been busy for the entire time the car has been there hired me about a week ago, and that's the main job I've had to work on. I've had to deal with all the excessive wiring the car has, deal with poor fitment of parts, and trying to fabricate things to work, and the guy comes today to check out the car.

For all out performance get long tube headers with excellent merge collectors, and do a true dual 3" system with a cross over pipe. Now, whether you do an X cross over or an H crossover is up to you. For mufflers, get glasspacks, as those flow the most, and sound the best =) Also, consider the sound of an H pipe and an X pipe. Both sound different, and both are very different.

Are you kidding? Small car parts are way more expensive! What you need to do for the Ford is get an aftermarket coolant temp gauge and install it. Keep an eye on it all the time. You do need a thermostat, so put one back in (new preferably) and as for blowing a head gasket in 5 months, there's something more serious than just a bad thermostat. You need to take the block and heads to a machine shop to have them checked out. Then clean both the deck and the heads and install a good brand new multi layer steel head gasket (available at autozone or O'Reilly's or anywhere online for cheap!) and get a new set of head bolts for both heads. (Also available for cheap!) Then, make sure you use the correct torque sequence as well as the right torque specifications with a known good torque wrench and you should be good =)
