Hello All,

My first post here on the forums!!

I picked up my RS2 manual at the end of March , #447 here.

Manuals are harder to come by then autos, not sure what the actual ratio is, but if you look on Autotrader, etc. it seems like it's about 2 manuals for every 5 autos , roughly. In a 400 mile radius on the West coast side, there seems to be about 4-8 manuals out there, week to week.

Just enjoying the weekend ride for now (clear bra is installed). No further mods for the rest of the year (just working on paying the FR-S off with in the next 1-2 years). Possibly next early spring I may do a 3M Crystaline tint to the 5 windows, keep it classy on this color combo. Possibly in 2-3 years do some kind of suspension change (not sure if I will go TRD springs on a good strut (Koni) , or coil-overs. )

This is the color that got me! Red was pretty much my second pick. I also like the BRZ blue pearl, but then I heard stories of scratches/ swirl marks really showing up on that color.

Thanks again for everyone putting on a good show here. I'll do my best to contribute from time to time, as best as I can. I come from Scion-Life, as I've owned a white manual xA since new, as that is my daily commuter M-F. So in terms of MPG, hypermilling …. I know the ins/outs of how to get the most MPG out of your vehicle.
