Not getting an FR-S/BRZ right away, but am keeping an eye on things for a year or two in the future. I was gung-ho about getting one until a few months ago. I really need a different vehicle first (some beefy truck or mid-sized suv for outdoor adventures). Also, I just am not as excited about it as most of the enthusiasts who are scrambling for these right now, so I figured I would let the serious buyers have their cars first.

Currently rolling everywhere in a 1992 Celica ST (4a-fe) with 190k on it. Bought it 9 years ago. She has her problems, but the drive train is not one of them. Bad paint, some rust, and a lot of little things make it seem worse than it is.

That is the truth, sir. I cannot wait to get behind the wheel of my FR-S and tear around turns all day!

1994 Integra LS 190k its been threw a lot 2 accidents and much more. But interior is mint!

That's not entirely true. It is and can be used as a DD. My dad just chooses not too. It runs like a champ and everyone loves the car, but you have to remember only 43 of them in the world exist.

So while he does drive it to the office everyday (exactly like I would), he only takes it out when he can really care for it.

It's probably worth over 100K. So yeah we don't just park it somewhere unattended.

But it does get driven regularly.

My DD is a 1996 Camry V6 XLE.....Hello snoozeville

I am proud of it though, as weird as that sounds. It has 140,000 miles and it looks beautiful cosmetically, the interior is clean as can be, and the engine runs like a top. Really can't justify getting rid of it so hopefully I can give it back to my parents.

Here's the most recent picture I have...middle of a brake job, threw on some brembo OE rotors and HAWK HPS pads. Note the ultra gangster tint :bellyroll:

When the weather's looking nice though.....

I had one of these as my first car and I loved it. It was black, 143K on the clock and it still ran like a champ. Only problem I had was rust started forming under the paint around the rear wheel arches.

I ended up trading it for my current Audi for about 4K.

Lol...Brembo blanks and Hawk HPS pads was what my gf was running on her '02 Solara. It was a solid setup when coupled with good tires.

Yeah the B18B motor is a champ runs great A/C ice cold. Just body is messed up and i have the same rust in the wheel arches Honda's are notorious for that. The exhaust rusted out at the cat so its LOUD as hell.

:party0030:

I wasn't too impressed at first but after flushing the brake fluid and waiting a few hundred miles before going rough on it....These brakes kick ass now. It's a shame that the front rotors are made in china even though the rears are italian.

OMG, the exact same thing happened to me. It actually fell off completely while I was driving once. The only thing keeping it attached to the car was the freaking hanger.

I drove it for 2 weeks like that. As you say, loud as hell.

I miss my Integra. It was better to me in terms of maintenance then my bloody Audi. Exactly why I'm trading in that pile for the FR-S.

I feel like im downgrading. my 06 Tacoma 4x4 only has 45k and still worth 20k.

Nice truck! My friend might be getting one soon. I worked for Toyota last year and got to borrow a loaner 2011 V6 quad cab to tow an AE86 Corolla up from CT. Easy as pie towing with that truck! I got 20mpg avg for the whole trip and it didn't break a sweat.

I also feel like I'm downgrading, going from my leased 2012 Audi S4 to this car. A $53,000 German Autobahn slayer to a $30k tinny Japanese sports car. Oh well, it's what I've been waiting for for years! It's a major upgrade from my '87 MR2, anyway. Besides, the S4 is more of a grown-up's sports sedan anyway. When I'm in my late 30's I'll get another one.

so many toyota camrys on here!!!

That is a GORGEOUS RX-7! Always wanted a GSL-SE. I had a friend who swapped a 13BT into one; he said it was madness! I had a gutted Turbo II FC3S for a while; it was so much fun!

Damn, that's a SERIOUS Camry! I've seen a couple quick-looking Camrys like that before. One with a big-turbo 3SGTE swap in orange comes to mind.
