52. I'm happy with the car the way it was designed and I'm keeping it stock.

Yes, I remember the 80's. I was driving an 84 Supra. Journey was on the radio...

48 here.

Mods are: OFT, Raceseng shifter knob, Whiteline differential and rear crossmember bushings.

Just got my new wheels and tires (Enkei PF01 / Hankook V12 evo2) that will go on after the next track day.

Just curious what you all have done your twin to make it your own.
Me? TRD springs, armrest and weather-tech floormats. I don't plan to mod mine in excess, eventually add Open flash tune and header. I still own my Integra type R clone for track days and weekend abusing (endless money-pit). There's not much left stock on that car.

So far I absolutely enjoy my FR-S, Great balance, and wonderfully inadequate tires make for a lot of sideways fun.:burnrubber:
40's? I wish. I turned 58 in March.

What I remember most about the 80's was the music was crap.

Do you still remember Elvis from the waist up on the Ed Sullivan show? Bonanza, Have Gun-Will Travel.

Not to take the thread off-topic but I would be extremely interested in a review of a kit like this. I trust the Cosworth name and am not looking to overstress what is already a high strung engine IMO. Would like more power but if it maintains a semblance of reliability 220hp would be fine. Eliminating the torque dead spot would be worth the price of admission personally. Affordability would be nice too. I don't want to grenade this engine or change it's character either. Back on topic, THIS would be a mod I'd consider.

When you reach 600whp, then you would be reaching the limits to stressing the engine. ;)

Wow. Well I only want about 50hp for this to be totally sublime. I need the 50hp not the car which speaks volumes to how good the car is.

40 here. Using mine for daily driving for work. I'm keeping it stock other than wanting a rear spoiler and some fog lights. My weekend car is a '73 bug with a 2276 in it. Hmmm. I guess I'm all boxer motors now. :thumbup:

Got my car when I was 44. Am 45 now.

Loved the 80s.

I'm a TRD addict so TRD EVERYTHING on my car.

Nope, The Cure, the Breakfast Club, Eddie Murphy standup act, and Batman with Michael Keaton.

My family think it's a "mid life crisis" car after driving a 4runner for 15 years.
My friends are secretly jealous of it because they're all driving SUVs or minivans to haul the kids around.
It's a blast to drive and as long as I can get my girl and my golf clubs around, it's fine with me.
I think a mid life crisis car costs a little more. Corvettes and Porsches are proper mid life crisis cars (I'm saving up)!

Ok, so I'm only 33 but sometimes I feel way older than that with the young audience on this forum. This thread is awesome.

I am an old soul though, learned to drive on a rhd mg b-GT when I was 12. Love old cars and motorcycles as well as newer stuff.

I dd my fr-s, autocross monthly and run a trd drop in air filter, works ab-m axle back and a anvil shift knob. Keeping it simple, light, loose and fun.

I hit 40 next May.

I have a rather large 80's playlist on my iPod, it gets played heavily in the car. Awesome music.

Most of my mods so far are cosmetic - BeatSonic sharkfin, FiveAD spoiler, JDM exhaust tips, Gramlights 57Xtreme wheels, and Conti DW tires.

Most of you guys are young whipper-snappers (sixty-five here), but I enjoy the interactions. I, too, am all boxer engines now, with FR-S, Porsche and Subaru's (Moto Guzzi is like a boxer on steriods). Didn't mean to get this way, but what can you do. As for the eighties, remember some of it, but most of early eighties, and all of the seventies are a smokey haze. Things are clearer now.
