whats the other car(s) made in collaboration between the two?

The FRS/BRZ is the only collaboration between the two. I'm saying that there are plenty of unmolested cars to choose from, so I'm curious as to why you picked one that you knew would require a lot of work to get right again.

Dude, very true.

They care when they try to trade in the car and get a lowball trade value from the dealer. Then they get all butt-hurt about that and list it on Craigslist or in the classified section of this board with comments like, "I know what it's worth so don't waste my time with lowball offers." Then they don't understand why they can't sell the car.

UNTIL it's time to sell it.

Oh, and about this picture:

Did Mardi Gras explode in that car? Shouldn't it have beads hanging from the mirror? I hope that guy drove that thing around wearing a colorful and ridiculous costume.

We see the ones on Craigslist, etc that don't get it but like this forum what we don't see are the tens of thousands of guys that just take the lose and walk away happy. They sell/trade with no fanfare or whining so they just don't get noticed.


And that interior is a tad on the garish side. Won First for something though so somebody liked it.

That poor yellow FR-S in the hands of that clown.

No problem. I just used my internet hunting knowledge. lol
First, I google image searched the first photo on your post and found the article it was in, then I looked up the event it was taken in. Assuming there must be a photo of it from the event and a friend that would tag the owner, I looked it up on instagram and found exactly that. :D

Even worse is evidently, he's not a great driver. And he's got an RS1... What a shame.

Had an RS1. By the time he is done with it I don't think it will qualify for the designation anymore. I am not normally a member of the "oh god why did you do that to your car" camp but why get a special edition and then chop it up until it is no longer a special edition?

He's been at a couple of meets here in San Diego, including our local 86 meet. Didn't realize that both cars were owned by the same guy. Honestly, I don't understand his reasoning for the black fenders. It looks so weird and with yellow wheels its so over the top.

@Choco great job, inspector gadget would be proud lol.. To OP, get this puppy back on the road ASAP and definitely make a restore thread to shut a few people up. Especially once you've piled together your total OUT of pocket expenses. :thumbup:
