Car number 11,XXX now lives with me.
 
Well, I was finally able to trade out my car and pick up my New FRS.

My frist FRS was number 5,5XX and this one is 11,XXX so a bit strange that it is double what the previous was.

I put a fair amount of miles on the first FRS since purchasing it July 24, 2012.

Anyway here are pics of the new arrival.

What!?!

The new one has the TRD exhaust!

Were you the one that is switching from auto to manual? Is that why you're getting another FR-S?

Ben_G 12-07-2012 05:25 PM

You were the one with the messed up trunk sheet metal, right?

No I had a defect and had a new car built. I think mine is probably the first one to show up with TRD exhaust on day of signing. I don't think it was available to order for any car prior, but I may be wrong.

Yes sir

Nice ride.... was the TRD exhaust a 'gift' from toyota? Or a paid upgrade?

No I think I pretty much paid retail on that.

Oh well, I think it fills out the cutouts in the rear bumper damn near perfectly.

How does it sound?

Thanks, yeah I was going to get a different exhaust since this one was so bloody expensive, but since it looked and sounded good, I just went for it. I like trd parts, especially when compared to the SPT stuff.

I am uploading a video of the exhaust to Youtube right now and will update the first post with it.

It is difficult having driven my car for 9600 miles and then having to go back to the break in period!

Oh yeah I guess all I have to do is look at your sig pic huh?

I am in South Jordan. I have had 2 STI's, a WRX Bugeye wagon, and most recently an 02 WRX with 04 STI swap and lots of upgrades. I only went toyota on this car because I am an AE86 nut. That and I prefer the bumper, but it was hard to choose between Subaru and Toyota for me.

Nice.. props to Toyota/Scion.

Do you know what is Toyota/Scion or that particular dealership gonna do with the old car with the defect? Sell it at a discount?

Mr.Bobbino 12-07-2012 05:55 PM

So how do you know what # car yours is? Where can I look to see when mine was made?
