How much is "-ish"? I'm drawing Social Security, is that to much to respond to this thread? I've been fascinated with lightweight sports cars since I was a teenager. In addition to the FRS I have an MR2 Spyder in the garage.

I bought the FRS to be my DD and to do track days. Mods for the track are pads, brake fluid, oil cooler, and tires. Haven't done much else. Probably won't until the warranty runs out.

Never. You are as young as you feel. Just without the stupidity.

I was already a working stiff when I saw Star Wars. I remember the very first Run Run Shaw movie to come to North America. What was it?
My first car was a beat up old 72 corolla. Traded it for a stereo system. Then a 76 chevette, put a no float carburetor on that one. Then a string of Fiat X1/9's. 76 firebird small block 400(fast). A fully built 75 Celica, street. Al this before the nineties.
Old enough to know better indeed.
Boredom can be a baaaaad thing.

Just to keep continuity. RunRun Shaw was a big producer of the martial arts movies. He Even had Bruce lee in a few. The movie in question is "Five Fingers of Death".

45. just some minor cosmetic mods. Love the car.

44 and getting a 15 next year. The number doesn't define me, it's how I feel is all that matters. I like fun, this car is fun. Experience in my driving skill will make it more fun too!!

46 with OFT, OFH, Perrin catback. You are only as old as you let your self be.

45. Cosmetic stuff mostly - FR-S mudguards, Weathertech floor mats, Pep Boys black muffler tips. TRD panel filter. Plan on OFT and maybe OFH after warranty expires. After 2 lightly modded WRX's and helping out with friends' heavily modded WRX's my mantra is, "Mo' stock, mo' betta." Stopped autocrossing since I found a relatively cheap track in Canada. I only go a couple times a year though. Have yet to track the BRZ though.

In terms of the age context here, I was 8 when I saw Star Wars in the theater.

Almost 40
Love this car!
Supercharger (vortech)
Borla header and exhaust
Moto-east tune (highly recommended no matter what mods you have)
4.67 final drive (also highly recommended if your car is AT)

Thank you! I've been feeling pretty lonely here.


BTW, WNY, know where Gasport is? :)

42 here, with a few power & cosmetic mods. Next up, an SQ install. Occasionally I get the "oh, I didn't know you drove that" from some of the younger guys at work, but I really enjoy the car and that's all that matters. And according to my wife I'm still a kid anyway, lol!

40 and loving the car.

Grimmspeed Strut tower brace and master cylinder brace, DC Sport exhaust tips until I can afford a a cat back and possibly header back exhaust; waiting on their intake in the next month or two. Thrown LED's for interior, trunk, plate, and reverse lights from HID_POWERHOUSE, and a center console plaque from Yospeed.

First car I've ever modded.
