When given the opportunity on the trip, and having seen the colors in person, I switched my preorder (if we're still tracking) I'm now a Whiteout MT, instead of the Ultramarine MT I was.

Hey what's up Goowakjai!!!,


I hope you had a safe trip back to Jersey. As for the alcohol, I'm not going to lie I'm a feather weight. This trip was extremely amazing, and I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity to go and meet many of the first 86. Most of the first 86 were really down to earth people and it was alot of fun.

For what this man brings to the enthusiast community, he deserves this!

There is no one more deserving in my opinion of being part of the First 86 as Moto from Club 4ag. His website and passion for the AE86'S has created an awesome community devoted to car that has grown so much to the point that Toyota has taken notice to the point of creating the FRS.

The 5axis fr-s was my main reason i stuck with raven, the white is great in person, yes but that raven with the machined gray 19's


It was on par with the LFA in my opinion, looks wise

one more time, with feeling

I saw a comment today on the forum where someone said that the silver FR-S seemed a bit too "fleet". Damn but I have to agree with that comment. So even though I switched from hot lava to argento on Saturday, I called Scion today and switched back to hot lava (manual of course). They were gracious and said ok (partly because I think the hot lava is on the boat already).

No longer have to worry about switching to ArgentoMan or whatever.

5axis had 19s? I don't remember and I want to be sure. I like the way it looked with the drop. Also if anyone remembers the specs on the drop as far as inches front and rear please due post

I'm one of the first 86 as well, wasn't able to join the group in CA since I am working on a cruise ship at the moment. I chose Hot Lava/Manual, but I am now having second thoughts about if I really want to trade in my tCRS7 for the FRS. I really enjoy the features of my transforming tC, still have some thinking to do.

^^ That would make you the second person I know that could be trading an RS7 for the FRS.

On one hand, own a practical, sporty-looking FF econocar, or drive a somewhat-practical FR sportscar.
