Unless you're not going to be really driving that hard(like track/autoX), then upgrade whenever you want, all seasons will help with wet conditions.

I haven’t had the car long, but I really don’t think the Primacys are a bad tire at all. For normal street use. I’m sure a track or autoX day with them would be interesting, lots of sliding.
I got the tail to kick out a little on a sharp left turn this morning. With TC on of course. “Yeah I made the right choice with this car” < Me

Hi korhun! I debated between the MT or the AT. I know the twins are a blast either way. I work in downtown Dallas so I deal with traffic many days. But in the end I knew I would regret not getting the manual.

That’s a good suggestion, I could probably just buy the head unit from a wrecked FR-S

JesseG, meet my buddy, Bubba.

He has a suggestion for your missing radio knob -

Congratulations and welcome! The tail lights look good on that color. Offers a bit of “pop” on the car. If you like the all red look, Tom’s offers some good looking tail lights and so does Spec-D. You can find a few in the member classifieds for a decent price. The spoiler looks good as well even if it’s a rep. I really like the color matched spoilers on our cars.

Congrats! Looks good man, great color. Welcome to FRS life. Plenty of great info on this forum just gotta dig.

Primacy's are no where near bad IMO. Not a fast tire obviously, but they teach you a lot about the car. They can also.... cough cough... take a beating.. Just trust me on that one though.

Congrats on the new FRS and I'm glad you're enjoying the car! I love the stock tires for daily driving. They aren't bad at all IMO.

Hey Will thanks man!!
I thought the same thing looking at pics of the car online, the all red tails pop. I like Tom’s products so that may be what I choose. I’m very happy with the spoiler. Part of the fun of these cars is all the aftermarket support.

Congrats on the new ride, Jesse! Asphalt/MT FTW

It really turns great, doesn't it? You're coming from a WRX, can you imagine what it was like switching from 10 years in a corolla to one of these?

I drove my 86 for a week, then I drove my corolla somewhere to sell it, and the first turn I took I thought I was going to crash

Thank Dando! This car looks awesome in every color, and Asphalt Gray has a nice subtle metallic look. Keeping it clean will be harder, but that’s fine, more chances to wash my car.

I trust ya! I know I couldn’t come close to reaching the limits of this car in corners. I think the Primacys will be good for exploring how the car reacts.

Thank you Sam, nice to meet ya! I might not be able to resist putting my Enkei wheels and Conti tires on, we’ll see.

Hey JackRabbit! I saw some pics of your car, it looks awesome.
Yeah I’ve never owned a car that can corner like this one. The WRX is lots of fun because of AWD, but it can’t hide all of its Impreza roots. The STi fixes some of that.
Dude, 10 years in a Corolla to a twin. It must feel like a go kart/Ferrari!
