BRZ owner here. (Creeping in FRS/86 forum). Have fun with your car. Mod it, tune it, etc. Mine is A/T and I am having a blast with it. Slowly adding bolt ons to mine.

The car is yours, do what you want to it and enjoy it. Don't worry about what others say.
Here's my rocket bunny automatic.

This^ (although I may tease for the wing if you are not racing)


This car is the perfect example of what can be done without going over the top. That and it is an actual race car not a hardparker pretending to be one!


http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...t=69139&page=7


And as an unsolicited plug for Lun it can be had for a very reasonable price!


http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=113672


If looking for a weekend toy I would be all over this at that price.

Boy it's sure been a while since I up dated my build thread. Yes I did race, in the TRD Cup Time Attack. And Yes I did have my car listed For Sale. BUT, I have replaced all the metal to metal suspension with stock rubber suspension pieces hoping to smooth out the ride enough to be able to keep my car. So far so good.

How do you feel about the manual now and what caused you to make the switch?

They are passing them up for the manual gearbox owning Scion, Nissan and Subaru owners.
You guys are all forgetting the only thing we have figured out for sure... Girls just want to have fun.

Haven't met a girl yet that didn't enjoy a little rear end slippage.

I still love the manual but I have to admit there are some days when I hit every red light possible and it can feel like a bit of a chore but I don't regret it at all and I even wish that I had originally gotten the MT! I went with the AT first as a compromise during my marriage but I went through a divorce and shortly after had a lady run a red light and total my FRS so it was only natural that I got in the position to enjoy what I originally wanted.

Or we could go on how ugly your red plastic dipped badge looks on your white FRS. keep the negativity to yourself
