Exclamation WOOT just picked up my FR-S! :D

picked up about 4 days ago my Asphalt 2014 FR-S, 6 spd, with fog lights and a center console

I love the thing, been driving it ever since.

only issue is this:

You know resizing images is really easy right? You don't need to take new ones.

CONGRATULATIONS and WELCOME .... stEVO X ......

I'd suggest you give the clutch a few hundred workouts to get it used to being squeezed between the pressure plate and flywheel, it most likely will smooth out as it wears in .....

Oh, when my FR-S was new, I noticed that when I had to back up slowly out of my steep driveway (slipping the clutch a bit) I would notice a slight shudder and caught a whif of hot clutch disk. Since then, it has been working smoothly.

Ya I know ..... I'm a bit shaky ..... but I've been clutching machines for over 65 years now.....
