New here? Come say hi =)

Hey guys, my lady and I picked up a 2013 Scion FRS in white the other day. It's definitely a car enthusiasts vehicle. Driving it puts a smile on me every time. I also drive a 2010 Genesis Turbo which I enjoy greatly.

Hello all!

I have bought my 2015 BRZ about a year ago and I love it! It has been an enjoyable experience driving the car, but I have been wondering on a few things. I am not a fan of the current power the car has and was wondering a few things. I use the car as my daily driver and have no intention of making it a track car. I was wondering what people would suggest in order to increase performance without trying to make it a pure beast. I am looking on increasing the torque and WHP to 250. Also, I am not liking the color of the dash and was wondering where to look to get it changed into a blue to match the car and the footwell lighting. I live near Austin and would appricate it if anyone could point me in the right direction. I have no problem going to DFW or Houston to find a good custom shop.

Thanks in advance

Hello guys/gals,


I am the proud new owner of a white 2014 BRZ! Like ZAN, I have plans of headers+intake+exhaust and going to try to gain 250HP out of this engine. Already ordered lowering springs, and spacers to remove the ugly stock look!!


Looking forward to hanging out here more with you guys!

Hi. I'm new here. Sort of. Been lurking for months, but just set up an account... Just picked up this beauty about a week and a half ago:

Hey guys!

I've been lurking here for a while (since before I picked up my '14 Monogram FR-S on 1/2/15), and thought I'd finally post. I'm not new to the Scion scene as one of my previous project cars was a turbo'd 08 Scion tC.

I'm sure I'll start chiming in on threads here and there now, though I'm not that big into posting as much as I am reading and finding out information to guide my build.


Here's some pics from yesterday;

Hello all😈 Eric from Pennsylvania I've owned so many cars throughout the years and my frs is so much fun to drive. Only my previous s2k and mr2 come close to the fun my 86 provides.

Thanks for accepting me in! My name is Keith and I just bought the FR-S Series 1 on 4-13-15 and I'm located in Springfield, OH. I've already learned a lot from this forum - I've got the new badges and turn signals on their way. I'd like to get the fog lights, too.

Intakes aren't really all that necessary with this car. An inlet tube and drop-in filter will do just fine for hp gains.

You'll get the most bang per buck with just an ecutek tune OR open flash tablet and an equal-length header...you won't get 250 crank hp, but it will wake the car up

Welcome!

A simple supercharger setup from vortech or kraftwerks/innovate should get you the power you're looking for without too much expense.

Here are some DIY's for interior lighting:

Hi, all
I just have my 15 frs about two months, still in slow progress on mods.

This car is so much fun on everyday driving route, I just wish it can be a bit powerful from stock, currently on TRD USA EXHAUST, K&N filters. But I do think maybe a little more power might be better, loll

Hello, All, Picking up my firestorm red 2013 FRS This sat morning,bought from dealer,full Toyota warantee, I am in the Northumberland area of Ontario Cananda

[chezplatypus]

Hi there! I just got myself a 2013 FRS on Tuesday. Ultramarine, 9400 miles, auto trans. I signed papers to go full time/salaried at my first big boy job and I'm graduating college in a month, so this was my gift to myself!

Mods will eventually happen, but for now I'm just happy to have a car with a warranty, let alone 8 years worth of warranty. My other car is a 2005 Grand Prix with 185k miles, still going strong.

Every time I walk up to my FRS, I literally start shaking. Biggest purchase I've ever made, and I'm thinking a wonderful introduction to the world of sports cars.

If you want more power while staying N/A. I can attest to the fact that the K & N filter, openflash UEL header, open flash tablet, perrin 2.5 inch resonated exhaust and swapped out pulleys makes the car what it should have been from the get go. $2500 for the complete setup and seeing from above, you are almost halfway there. Took another stock FRS guy for a test drive last week and the first word was GEEEZUUS!!!!!

What's your tune produce on the dyno the wheels on that setup
