Hello everyone! I'm Alex, and the proud owner of a new Asphalt FR-S!

Got the manual because I plan on doing alot of engine mods, I'm not sure whats out there as far as the basic I/H/E setup but I understand the car is new.

I used to be really into this hobby when I was a teenager, I actually turboed a Hyundai Elantra XD. But that was then and this is now.

Anyway I'm in the queen anne area of seattle, WA. So if you see a new FR-S its probably mine because I haven't seen any other ones!

Hi Everyone,
Goran here from Melbourne, Australia.
Used to drive an 03 Corolla Sportivo (equivalent to a Matrix or Runx in the states).
Now waiting for my FT-86 to be delivered.

Currently sharing my brothers GTiR till my car arrives, here's some pics of it:

Hi from NorCal

Hello GT86/FRS/BRZ fans

I got a red FRZ almost 3 weeks now. Other than how little torque it makes, it's been a fun daily driver.

I am not a very active forum member as there are too many other things in life that keep me busy, but I am sure I'll find answers from the vast knowledge base here when I run into "?" living with the FRZ. I was surprised that I could stream music direct from iphone via bluetooth, that I wasn't expect from a relatively budget car. I wish havoc system is a little more automated, but overall it's a good car and I am not really complaining

Hope everybody enjoying your GT86/FRS/BRZ as much as I do with the FRZ, happy cornering, and cheers!

Hi

Hi guys! Well, originally I wanted a Firestorm FRS-- but as I was waiting for one to become available a nearby dealership informed me that an Argento was available.. The day I went to go pick up my Argento in San Antonio, another dealership called me and told me a red/firestorm was available. At the end of the day I decided to go with the Argento. No regrets

As some other folks here, I am completely new to the RWD world... I used to drive a Prius lol But I am learning something new every day and am enjoying the heck out of my FRS.

Hey guys my name is Armin. I just purchased my Asphalt FR-S on August 10th. It's pretty nice, I like it. It compliments my Supra nicely.

Hey, I'm John and currently just moved to Phoenix, even though I was born and raised in Virginia.

First thing I did when I got here was purchase an Asphalt manual FRS. Had it for 4 weeks now but just joined the forums. By far the best purchase I've ever made

Hello motosss,

Just want say hello all. I'm very impressed with the review of this 86 and BRZ is getting. I really love the exterior of this car, reminds me of an LF-A (front end). Looks and sounds like a practical car for fun and work. 34mpg on highway...thats all me.

Hello! I'm Jimmy from North Carolina. I just picked up my Firestorm FR-S with 6MT. Originally I wanted a BRZ, but earlier in the year my talks with dealers did not go over well with their big markups. So I took on a 2012 Special Edition Miata (my 2nd Miata). Love that car! But my heart was still on the Toyobaru. Well, fast forward to today, I just happened to come across a red FR-S sitting in front of a dealer. A few hours later, I'm at home with my new car! So... What to do... What to mod? Hmmmmmmm
