Welcome!

You should spend all your time reading this forum to avoid asking a question that has been answer and riling up the cranky old timers

Track day bro.

Drive it. Once you think you know what you want then drive it some more and see if you change your mind. Once you have decided what you like and don't like drive it a bit more and see if you can live with it. If you do this long enough you will save a pile of money by not changing a thing that wasn't YOUR idea and that you had a personal reason for doing it.


Oh and don't listen to the millennials here they have no clue what they are talking about and make us cranky.

I'm 70yo and have owned tons of vehicles in my lifetime:

Drive it till it gets low on fuel.

Fill up fuel to full.

Drive some more.

Don't spend any money on car other than fuel, plates, insurance.

Well, do oil and filter every 7500mi, check tire pressures, under hood fluid levels, once a month. Do not do any other recommended service other than these things.

Despite what you may think right now, you aren't gonna own this vehicle forever.

Be Happy, Smile as you drive.

Read the stickies, search the forums, and check the diy thread. I'd vote, as previously stated, drive and learn the car. Find out what you do and do not like, and give it some time.

What he said.

Autox is a good option too.

Try using the car for what it was designed for, and if you don't like that (which I'm certain won't be the case) then you can go ahead and just do dope modz for hardparking street cred.

Welcome, and great color choice! ;)

WELCOME, Lukevick65 to FR-S ownership and to ...... The Forum ...... :clap:

As far as pictures ...... I'd suggest you set your camera to auto and point and shoot. Pare them down to below 100 kilosomethings or other.

As far as your car, mind what @Tcoat said up in post #4.

In addition, you may wish to change the engine, transmission, differential and brake fluids ...... just to get off to a fresh start.

Put in the highest test gas you can find at a regular filling station and follow the maintenance guide in the manual.

Have fun driving it and stay waaaay back from the parking stops.
