New FR-S Owner
 

Hello, I bought a 2015 Scion FR-S in November of last year and finally decided to post up here. I traded in my 1993 Nissan 300ZX that I had owned for 10 years for the FR-S, which was very hard to do, but on to new and possibly better things! She will be my daily driver and I plan on taking her to a few track days. Probably will go with some coilovers, front sway bar, and just intake and exhaust.

The day I picked her up:

A few pics in the first week I had her:

Love the Halo pearl!

I have already replaced all the interior lights, reverse lights, and license plate lights with LEDs, put on a 4500K HID kit, replaced the Scion badges with Toyota badges, and put on some snow tires for the winter.

Also took her to the dyno, 163whp/134ftlb torque.

And the latest that came in the mail today. Enkei PF01 wheels, 17x8 +35, wrapped in 245/40/17 Direzza ZII tires. Of course, they won't be mounted until spring.

And my other hobby! Been racing a shifter kart for 4 years in auto-x and started road racing it last year. Very addicting.

Welcome. Nice color choice.

Welcome. Is that the stock exhaust?

Yes. Among some other minor tweaks, they changed the exhaust for 2015. They also changed the antenna to a shark fin, changed the carbon fiber part of the dash, added leather and padding to where your knees hit, and I have an armrest!

Looks much better. Are those HID's? Your lights look a little more blue than mine.

Nice, welcome:cheers:

You got an armrest?! Pic? I didn't get an armrest when I got my 2015 frs..

Just the tips. Exhaust is the same, they just realized no one wanted tiny lame tips so they strapped some bigger ones on.

Congrats on the car! I got the same color, 2015 as well!

FYI, they changed the front sway bar in the 2015. It's stiffer, so the car has more understeer now, harder to get the back to slide out. I noticed you were thinking about changing it, so figured I'd point it out! I made the mature, responsible choice to get a huge stiff rear sway bar so I can slide around like an idiot :P

Nice. Welcome to the forum! :D

They are 4600K, so it is the picture making them more blue.

The armrest is available as an option. I believe it is a $250 option, but I got the dealer to give me a discount on the car, so I basically got the armrest and bespoke audio for free.

I have a couple local friends who regularly track their FR-S and they have just upgraded the front sway bar and left the rear stock and they like how it handles.

Nice looking car!

Now share some details about the kart. :p

Congratulations! Looks beautiful :D Just wondering, how much did you get for the 300zx?

You picked a good color :)

Hi. Former Z32 owner too (just a lot longer ago). Still semi-active in the community.

Also a shitter kart enthusiast.

Enjoy the car! It's a huge change in every way from a Z32, but it's fun. Especially with boost.
