Any Other Pre-Production Members still here?
Hey all, I'm still a daily lurker here on the FR-S forums. I've been following this car since 2009 when it was first introduced as the FT-86 concept, and it's been a blast following all the progression from the twins to their modern day form. Just wondering if any of the "old-timers" are still around.

Joined on 2012 after I put a deposit down in June, I got my car in December. When they announced the starting price at 30k AU I was sold.
However I was following the car with much interest since the concept was announced. Still waiting for the G-Sports version to come out lol. |

I've been following it since late 2010 and was part of rx-8 club. Didn't feel qualified to join this club since i wasn't expecting to buy the car. haha

I've been on here frequently since before the release. I first heard about it with some rumors of Subaru and Toyota working together on a sports car but doubted it would happen. Then eventually, I saw some prototype pics and was fascinated. I became a lurker on these forums but when they announced the pricing and details, I realized it would be my next car and joined. This will be the year that I finally get one.

I've been here for a bit. Can't believe it's been 4 years. I'm not one to post often, I just shut up and watch the madness happen.

I found this site in April 2012 just before the release and a few weeks after I put down a deposit. Didnt join til I picked up the car May 2012. I have followed it from concept in 2009 but got most my info from the general web and club4ag
Made this post on FB first time I saw the concept. Had heard the rumors about the car a bit prior.

I was the original "fuck this car" hater on beyond.ca, and somehow now I own one...
Saw the original concept at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2010 as well. |

I loosely followed development for a few years, but wasn't serious about buying one until after driving a production version at one of the Scion first drive autocross events. Joined the forum around then.
