HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

The SR Mustang was purchased as a Certified Preowned 2008 GT Premium with 39,000 miles. This is the first few photos i have of her! At the time I was driving a 2008 Mazda Miata. Needed something with a bit more space and power!

THE MODS BEGIN - STREET/SHOW CAR

I can almost never leave a car stock. Once i bought the Mustang I quickly realized that I started wanting to put some money into it. First thing i did actually was to buy another beater to drive to work. Cue the car everyone hates! Police Crown Vic! Loved that thing! Some basic power mods and some handling mods at this point.

DISCOVERING RACING IS A BAD THING FOR YOUR WALLET

in February of 2012 I stumbled across Bucks Crazy looking Toyota Yaris (seen here in this review video). Asked him what the heck sorta racing he does with it. He said that fateful word.....AUTOCROSS. The moment after my first training event I went nuts with handling parts! This album below includes some of the begging handling parts i bought.

Dyno Run

COMPETING REGULARLY IN AUTOCROSS

After my first season as a rookie I decided to go out, get race slicks and a trailer. The Mustang doesn't make the best autocross car but it sure is fun.

NATIONAL AUTOCROSS COMPETITION, TRACK DAYS AND BEYOND

Starting in 2015 I placed 2nd in my first regional event. The car is getting more and more into a serious hardcore track car. 

2016 Autocross Season

I LOST MY MIND

At the end of 2016 I was determined to make the car a fully prepped Street Mod car. That meant buying a race set of coilovers and bumping up the power somehow! MCS Coilovers and Roush R2300 TVS!

The ultimate money pit!

In 2017 the car was beat up a bit. The wing flew apart at a track day and some more tweaking was done. A new wing is coming and larger wheels. The end is near as the motor build is coming too!

The end is near?

In 2018 the car underwent a transformation to fit 335 size Hoosiers. This involved fender flares and significant modification. The motor build is coming which means there isnt much left to do!

FENDERS!

From the owner

I purchased my 2015 Scion FR-S July 4th, 2014 by accident. I always knew I was going to get a track car and I wanted something light, quick, and reliable. After I finally settled on a 2014 FR-S, we discovered while doing the purchase paperwork that the Vin number associated with the car that I chose was registered as a 2015. It was the first 2015 in the state and one of the very first in the country. This came as a pleasant surprise because I knew they updated the suspension on the 2015 model and improved the handling. Back to back comparison of a 2014 vs 2015 confirmed it.

Regardlees, my mindset was, it's easy to add power, but hard to remove weight. So I decided to buy this car and turbocharge it. I figured, "brand new Subaru engine platform... They WILL turbo it in something, so it will be sturdy enough to turbo it." and I was right (ie 2015 subaru wrx). The first thing I focused on where wheels, tires, brakes, and life support mods. I needed to make sure the car would survive a track day. I bought the brake components, 1 of my 2 catch cans, and a Mishimoto oil cooler (I've since sold it for a different style). That setup worked great for the track but when I got to forced induction my plans took a slight change. I decided to supercharge the car instead of turbo because I too had discovered this thing called autocross. It was originally going to be a passing fancy. Something fun to do that I wouldn't take seriously. But I had a blast and got hooked. Turbo lag, 350 whp, and a 2700 lb RWD sports car do not mix well with autocross, so I opted for the response and more precise control ability of a supercharger. The intercooler it came with prohibited the continued use of my oil cooler, so I got the dual radiator oil cooler from Jackson Racing which uses a water/oil laminova style cooler. This car in its current configuration has run a 1:25 lap time at Roebling with the Porsche Club of America and it matched the lap time of a black group 2016 Porsche 911 GT-3 RS
