My FRS Totaled.... FRS is down... - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I didn't mean to come off overly harsh, and apologize if I did.

If you do get another FRS/BRZ, send me a PM and I'll personally cover your first track day. This way, you can push the limits safely, and get an idea of how spirited you can drive in canyons, without risking a spin/loss of control.

glad to see you're ok
im guessing majority of the weight in the frs is the chassis so to begin with there wouldnt be much damage in accidents :P

Glad your ok, no 3rd party was involved. Keep the reckless antics OFF the road and on the track.

Did you suffer any brain damage? Cheap lesson learnt anyway

jgonx213 · 01-10-2014, 12:18 PM

i learned it the hardway...

Driving canyons at night allows you to see oncoming cars with headlights. yes its Cold and traction becomes an issue (keep traction control on) but with some sticky tires your less prone to losing traction. But if you don't know how to drive canyons I would stay off them as they can kill you! I don't condone anyone to drive canyons. I drive canyons yes but once winter hits I know to stay off even though I have the tires, suspension and other mods to help me keep it under control but it's better safe then sorry.

glad you are okay too! Glad you learned from yours and hope you get another.

welcome to the club. I've been right side up for 15 days now.

I don't see how this could possibly offset the reduction in depth perception and visibility.

Glad you’re OK after that!

I have to be the first to ask...did you have all of the TC & VSC on or off.
