Damn, I may want to meetup with you if you dont mind to hear/see that. It was one on my list.

I'm planning on racing in stock class though, so there's not much I can do. Cat-backs are one of the few mods allowed so I'm looking around now,

You don't even need that, there are loaners available! All you need is to come early for walk up registration, pay your money ($40 for non-members I believe) and you're good to go!

Our next event is on Sunday, July 29th. If your interested, checkout the website as there's ton's of info there as far as the whole registration part. I know it seems like a lot at first, trust me I was there. But it's worth it in the end! This car is seriously made for small, tight courses like we run, it really feels like it's in it's element.

86less 07-20-2012 03:32 AM

Hmm i may come out to spectate this. I live 10 mins away.

Car show at the stadium? Any one else see that/ going?

Hayashi 07-23-2012 02:28 PM

If anyone needs a filter, I ordered the 6 pack and should be getting it probably next week or late this week. I only need 1 because we have the free 2 years and I'm just doing a 1K oil change myself. If anyone wants one, PM me. They split to roughly $10 a piece for filter and washer shipped.

If not I'll just keep them all lol.

FML 07-27-2012 05:26 AM

I'll take one pm me thanks!

Yup. That was me. Sigh-on-Rice was the third. Car is running great. Only bad thing so far was that I got a nail stuck in my tire about 3 weeks into driving it... Couldn't patch it because it was right on the edge. Ended up having to buy a new tire :( But overall, the car runs great. Nothing to complain about yet.

Sigh-on-Rice 07-28-2012 01:10 PM

Yup, I'm the 3rd one there who was sick and had a weird voice. I got the other whiteout that was coming the following week. Mine has a minor condensation on the passenger side tail light when I was the car, the clutch makes a weird noise when engine braking at below 2k RPM, and somewhere in the trunk makes clicking/ticking/tapping noise at any speed. Otherwise, the car is perfect that there is nothin I want to modify. Mine will be kept stock (except for tint).

touge-n00b 07-28-2012 02:55 PM

^ I think the tail light condensation is a known problem. Did you take it into Servco? I haven't noticed it on my car but I was curious to see if anything was being done about it.

Sigh-on-Rice 07-28-2012 04:46 PM

Since it's only a minor condensation, I'll wait until my 7500 mile service to save a trip. I've never left the car in the rain, so it might get bad in the rain. In that case, I'll take it in right away.

Im glad to see you on here as well. i think you should bring up your problems to scion and see if theres something they can do about that. so have anyone seen other frs or brz on the road?

2,200 miles so far. I just took it in to get my oil changed. Found out that I had ANOTHER nail in the other tire... Just my luck. Thankfull, they were able to patch this one.

I've seen maybe 3 others on the road. A silver one near stadium, an asphalt near Aiea heights, and a firestorm near Pearl Harbor.

86less 07-28-2012 09:28 PM

Saw a asphalt at pearlridge lastnight.

Man where are you driving your car? lol or do nails just have a habit finding your car. lol i only saw 2 frs and 3 brz.. you would have thought i would see more frs but i guess not. anyway i saw on your profile that you drive a nissan versa and knew it was you.

Ya, I'll be bringing up the condensation and the rear deck popping noise problems to Scion but probably wait until the 7500 miles service since they're minor problems. Clutch noise seems to be normal according to what people says and it's hardly noticeable after 1000 miles break-in. I just made 1500 this morning.

So far, I saw FR-S 3 times (white x 2 & red x 1) and BRZ 0 time.

touge-n00b 08-02-2012 01:51 AM

So a little birddie has told me that Servco has got three more BRZs in. All limiteds, one white automatic, one World Rally Blue manual, and one black manual.

Got a friend who works at Servco so if anyone is interested, PM me and I can pass the info along. :thumbsup:

>>> THIS <<< must be the same cars you're talking about.
I'm surprised...
I was thinking these cars would sell out as soon as they come in (or even before they come in) until at least until the end of this year.
Now, it even have time to come up on craigslist. :iono:

touge-n00b 08-02-2012 07:46 PM

Perhaps because people don't know they're here so Servco is spreading the word?

I still think bringing in only limiteds is a bad move. I think premiums would have been much easier too sell.

Sigh-on-Rice 08-02-2012 08:28 PM

I was thinking more like,
30 people would sign up for the BRZ lottery.
20 people would line up by the Scion door on June 1st.
3 to 5 months waiting list through the end of the year.

But then, you know how many people signed up for BRZ lottery and I know how many people lined up by the Scion door.
I guess there aren't many people like us anymore, which is kind of sad.

:eyebulge:
Is it FR-S or BRZ?
If it's BRZ, I see their post on craigslist too for a while.
No wonder they're not able to sell them. :(

I'll be heading to Oahu on Saturday for vacation... hopefully I'll be able to see some of u guys driving around...

Hey all, just thought I'd drop a line that I'm picking up my Raven FR-S on wednesday. I actually went in the weekend they were released and did a test drive & loved it, but wasn't ready to go for it till now. Was holding out for white, but I just missed the last one. I then saw the actual black and really liked it. Should have seen me standing out in the middle of the lot looking back and forth between the white & black.

FRSHunter 11-13-2012 07:20 AM

I remember a week ago Scion said all they had were black left. Supposedly more colors coming in later this year.

They said they usually get shipment end of every month that are ready for sale at the begining of the following month. I forget exactly what was coming in next shipment, i think it was like two whites and one black, silver and dark grey.
The white is popular, took less than 2 hours to sell their stock last time, and I thought its a nice color. Said I didn't want black becuase of the maintenance and its hot, but I saw one outside and it looked, hot! So decided not to wait!
BTW, if you don't want them to drill into bumper, best thing is to have your relocation mount ready and give it to them before they start prepping the car. I'm still trying to figure out if the next to license plate safety plates are now legal, I hear from another forum they now are, but the salespeople at Scion would not admit to that. They said it'll be up to me to later relocate it. Will have to more carefully examine the bottom bumper for mount possibilities.
Anyway, looking forward to it, my first new car! Yes, I actually sold my hachi.

larryw 11-17-2012 06:31 PM

Any Hawaii people having troubles with the CEL lights/idle issues/ stalling? Looking through the Issue's section of this forum made me hesitant to pick up this years model. I'll probably be waiting till next year's model comes out to pick up, but I was wondering how many Hawaii people have actually been affected by it so far.
