I can't wait to see what you have planned for this car. Jordan and I are both planning on getting this car and you know we don't mind making the trip down there.

First up is exhaust and intake stuff, but I already have a head and valves on order for we can start playing with flow and seeing what there is to see with the head and the intake manifold as well.

And then of course once there is a tuning solution its turbo time.

Do you work at BAE? If so you drive past us every day - we are about a mile and a half south of I-10 on FM3538 (exit 718)

No, it is my initials. My goal is to get a BAE systems cap some day. :-)

Thanks for the review! Seems like you had a great first week. I pick my BRZ June 14. The first coffee and cars I can join is in August. Maybe we could find a spot to park for ft-86 cars. I am located in Katy.

Dragging this post from the dead. Got my whiteout FR-S today and will be showing up to C&C on August 4th, first Saturday. Will have Five Axis kit and wheels then :D

You know that the car is good if you start fabricating excuses to go drive it. Glad to hear that you love the car.

Cool! I missed the last one because I threw my back out chucking kids into the pool on the 4th. I look forward to August's.

Oh as an update I think I hit 5K miles already. We made just under 171HP and 146 TQ to the tire on the re-dyno after break in and oil change at 2700 miles.

I have also learned that driving gently enough you can average 32-34 MPG in a manual on the highway at about 72/73

shout out to a local fr-s owner! Hope to see you at a meet in houston some time :)

Synack 07-17-2012 06:09 PM

I go to Vintage Cars & Coffee. Although I have no idea where I'd park this time around.

Review seems biased. Not a single problem with it?
