R Tard's Build Journal

Hi all,

I recently picked up this 2025 FL5 in September after a Toyota Dealer(Novato) fucked the 20k service on my GR Corolla causing the car to lose all oil.
After they were not willing to work with me and telling me that I would be wasting money if I paid them to open the motor to check on the condition of the bottom end, I ended up just wasting money and getting a FL5 instead. I honestly feel like this car doesn't need anything else from the factory but I did have money leftover after parting out the Corolla so why not.

Here is the current mod-list for the car so far, but the pictures are from before I had everything put on:
-Garage Unique Carbon Front Lip
-PRL HVI Intake
-Spoon Springs
-Spoon Rigid Collars
-J's Front Camber Joints
-Te37 Saga S-plus 18x10+40
-HKS Legamax Exhaust
-Remark Solid Stands
-Maxton Gurney Flap
-Varis front and rear flares(awaiting paint)
-Varis side skirts (still waiting on order)
-Varis side undersplitter (still waiting on order)

The goal for this car is a clean and reliable weekend/project car that I don't have to worry about being state ref'd anywhere in California.
Hopefully I will remember to update this as I get more mods for this car haha.
