I just went thru this topic all the way to page 16.
I live about 30 miles south of you, down here in SA.
What I hear from your explanations are just your opinion.
NOTHING IS THE REAL TRUTH.
I'm am owner of the FRS since May 2012. I have had to bite my tongue the whole thread with your comments. I believe you should trade in your FRS immediately.
Why? Well... you have put down the engine, and you surely don't know how to drive I car that was designed to rev and do it safely when driving around town. Me.... I decided not to put an aftermarket exhaust system on mine. I got the JDM tips and rev the living sheet out of the car when oil is warmed up. If you want to baby the car, and not rev it..... fine.... that is your choice. Please don't tell others to not drive this car like a race car on the street. It is made for it, and you are doing a bad thing by tell people that you should baby your car. Don't bang the gears. That's all you shouldn't do. @
ermax.... How many Porsche 911 owners that are real drivers baby their rpms when driving around in a safe to accelerate area? The real Porsche drivers are just running 3500 rpm minimum and revving to redline, when driving for fun. I have lived this stuff for over 40 years. The FRS is designed to kane it and just use common sense with the drivetrain. It can rev all day long with a good synthetic oil, with proper warmup. Just remember when living in a colder climate, let the oil warm up. And last but not least.... the engine does not sound as bad as some say. It sounds like a blender, and to me better than the off beat Suburu sound of the WRX.
