So what did you guys drive before your FR-S/BRZ purchase? I had a 07 MKV GTI! I do love the FR-S but I miss the crap outa my MKV. It was tuned to about 250WHP and 310WTQ so it was WAY WAY WAY faster (in a stright line) than my FR-S with a whopping 170WHP and 140WTQ...

Thanks for info Blaine. 3K is relatively in-expensive. Hope that covers insurance, ambulance, and their crew.
Hehe no thanks for the Traxxes. My kids got plenty of off-road from Slash down to mini-8s. I myself run on-road...so me and the kids take turns turn-marshaling. |

I don't know a ton about RC. My truck isn't steering right now, it's almost like the servo or something is toast because I don't even hear it trying to turn. Any suggestions on things to check out?

Blain, ur RC's servo may be toast. Replace all the batteries (or charge them) and listen to see if there is noise in the servo. If there is absolutely no noise, u may have lost bind. Bind it to the tx then try again. If it does make noise but won't turn, just grinds, may be ur servo saver (cheap fix) or servo (not so cheap fix).

Just a curious question. Would it be worth it if i installed 5x114.3 spacers on my fr-s or should i just stick with the 5x100?:|

It's not something I'd do. It's going to make proper off-set really difficult unless you are installing wider fenders. Plus it's something that can fail on one of the most stressed areas of your car. This is one of those things that if you have to ask you shouldn't be doing it.

It's doubtful they make in it an offset that would work with adapters either.
