Maybe a few more things. Still trying to decide if I want to do the work myself or not. I'm pretty mechanically inclined but if never done any advanced work on cars. I dont know if it's be worth it to do the work myself or just let a pro do it. It wouldn't be all at once as funds are tight being that I'm in school but over the next year or so that's my plan.

Also do any of yall that run a lowered car have problems with clearance given that our roads aren't really made for anything that runs real low?

Personally I'd DIY all of that except the lip unless it didn't require painting.

Awesome! I was debating on DIY for most of, if not all. I feel like after seeing some of the how tos it isn't worth paying shop labor to do all that.

Not even close to worth it.

Anybody have an Ecutek Cable?

I'm stuck in Metairie and left my cable in Oklahoma City ;(
My dongle however made it to my bag.

Give me a call if you can bail me out.

Just need to flash in a different tune, so I can start my car.

Hey guys, I'm in Baton Rouge and just picked up a 2015 FR-S last Saturday. Maybe see you guys on the road sometime.

boucher · 03-31-2015, 05:36 PM

Just curious, how many people are still here with a BRZ/FRS?

SirLoin · 04-01-2015, 01:12 PM

Present. Lurking the forum and driving around Baton Rouge with the occasionly HPDE down at NOLA.

mottor · 04-01-2015, 02:51 PM

There are 3-4 of us that hang out in BR/NOLA and go to events like Cars and Coffee and some of the autocross stuff occasionally.

HotLavaFRS · 04-01-2015, 03:48 PM

I haven't been to the Cars and Coffee stuff but I've heard of a few people giving it a bad rep recently and it's made me want to steer clear of it. I'd had to leave car clubs where people were getting in enough trouble on a regular basis that I didn't want to be guilty by association.

I do go out to the autocross with my roommate in NOLA from time to time. Some of you guys probably saw his 'famous' blue mustang.

mottor · 04-01-2015, 03:51 PM

Not sure who would give C&C a bad reputation. The BR one is generally pretty good people and nobody causes much trouble. We've got a group in charge that police it pretty heavily.

Not sure about a famous blue mustang. What's so special about it?

I just remember reading about some stuff going down last time the C&C BR had a meet on their Facebook page.

It's not famous, it was the STX06 2012 5.0 that usually raw timed with the CR-X for top position.

I'm kicking around in new Orleans, and (love to) drive my wrb limited. I'm thinking about doing the autocross here on April 19, is anyone else planning on coming out for it? I've never done one before.

Porcupint · 04-02-2015, 04:48 PM

Yeah there are a few of us around here. C&C Baton rouge is pretty under control from what I've seen, haven't been in a while though. They're having an event this weekend.

Going to try and make it out to the April 19th autocross, but no promises.

Still driving mine, although I usually drive the Jeep around New Orleans because of the potholes.

The last three I've seen around here were driven by ladies. People are buying them, even if they're not all finding their way to this board.
