Well, do oil and filter every 7500mi, check tire pressures, under hood fluid levels, once a month. Do not do any other recommended service other than these things.

Despite what you may think right now, you aren't gonna own this vehicle forever.

Be Happy, Smile as you drive.

Well stated. As I get older this has increasingly become the norm for me.

I have one advice for you that no one has ever told you.

Keep yourself alive.

Mim · 01-15-2017, 08:27 AM

Spend an hour or two everyday reading posts on this Forum and just drive the car. In time what you want to do will come to you. Welcome to the forums!

Visually I'd keep it the way it is. Looks perfect. You also already have a spoiler so your good to go. If you want, you can do the Toyota Badge swap like many do.

I'd just concentrate on performance modifications if you ever think you need/want more out of the car.

For now, enjoy the car in stock form, it's a great car out of the factory

The FiveAxis rear spoiler looks so sublime on Firestorms.

Too bad they don't make them anymore.

PNW FRS · 01-15-2017, 08:26 PM

After you've spent what you believe is an adequate time letting the engine "break-in," start learning the relationship between the torque curve and RPMs.... especially if you have the manual tranny. Aside from learning the "just right" clutch action, get used to getting the RPMs up.... to get full benefit of the available power-on-tap. (Ex. >3K RPM). Under that, just learn to live with the fact that with this NA rig... some aggressive soccer mom in a minivan has the potential to beat you off the line during DD.

But... in the curves... oh in the curves... learn how to deal with a perpetual smile on your face!!

Congrats on the new ride!

so what you are saying is that you shouldn't change the brake fluid or spark plugs or transmission fluid according to the manual? just let it run until the car starts acting up and then change those particular things?

Ummmm those would be the recommended service he mentioned. Some like to change these things for the sake of changing them and then go on about the miracle improvement they made.
