You guys hear AJR Racing is working on some T1R products for the FR-S? I know they have Coilovers and Exhaust planned.

yeah I am aware they don't understand spring rates and don't have shock dynos

Also I remember they had some controversial issues regarding J's Racing pulling their product from them due to a couple guys getting fake stuff instead or something. Big thread about it on RS. Don't know how much water the claims hold however.

Might get some parts from them if they ever show the same commitment we been seeing from Perrin and Nameless with the proving of parts!

Whoa, talk about an ideal buyer. You seriously had no preference to colour or transmission? Not even a bit? :P

other than silver or orange i love the car in any color, and for transmission i've driven a fair share of manuals so i've got the love/hate with them, and I can say auto impressed me very much,

i would even compare it to my friends 2012 lp-570 performante

White automatic. Yes, I'm sick of driving stick during traffic jams and I'm getting old LOL

I could have ordered in north van or langley to get my car quicker...that's what kinda pisses me off.

Got my silver BRZ Sport-Tech on the weekend. Haven't seen any others yet. Had a guy in a 3 series pull up and ask me what the car was, he said it looked good.

I think I saw you yesterday morning. Were you the guy pulling out onto Fraser street heading north bound to 16th ave? I was the guy who honked at you in the Blue FRS headed the other way!

Good idea for a thread guys. If I can make a suggestion, we should all meet up like at the Scion Launch Party and get to know each other.

As always, I'm itching to do some more karting. Anyone want to go to F440 one sunny morning?

EDIT: I almost forgot. I was driving down near Jerico beach on Sunday at about 4:15 when I saw some old lady drive past me in a Silver FR-S! Now I'm not one to judge someone because of personal appearance, but when I saw her I said "there's no way that's her car". I'm guessing its a present for some lucky rich kid and she was just driving it home.
