In a daring move, the Ideal team acquired the most affordable F FRS in the country, only to be greeted by a host of mechanical gremlins. From a wonky crank sensor to mysterious engine sounds, the car's troubles seemed endless. However, a thorough inspection revealed more issues, including a missing rear muffler, interior wear, and alignment woes. Despite the lack of service records, the FRS had been reasonably cared for, hinting at a promising potential.

With a keen eye for detail, the team estimated the repair costs, uncovering a laundry list of necessary fixes totaling over $4,000. From addressing the valve spring recall to changing spark plugs and rear brakes, the car demanded significant attention. Yet, undeterred by the challenges, the Ideal crew saw an opportunity to transform the FRS into a formidable machine. Plans for aftermarket coilover units, a new catback, and rectifying the steering wheel misalignment showcased their determination to turn this budget find into a Supercar Slayer.

Despite the daunting task ahead, the Ideal team remained undaunted, ready to tackle each issue head-on. Their commitment to enhancing the FRS's performance and aesthetics shone through as they outlined their strategy for the car's overhaul. By investing in quality upgrades and meticulous repairs, they aimed to elevate the FRS from a budget buy to a high-performance marvel. With their signature blend of expertise and enthusiasm, the Ideal crew embarked on a journey to unlock the true potential of the cheapest FRS in the nation.
