Hello guys my name is JK. I just bought my Ultra whiteout FR-S right off the showroom floor. A little bit of background I guess. I am getting heavily into road racing so I traded in my GTR and got this (A pretty good deal to as I avoided a tax hit and got about 20K on top of the deal so I can't complain). Reason behind it is because I am going back to school for my master's and after working the math it would be cheaper to track this and go to school vs the GTR as I pay for my own schooling out of pocket. After I am finish with my program this will become my new DD and I will buy another GTR for my pleasure on weekends.

WOWWWWWWWW.....One of the biggest downgrades I've seen. I'm coming from a nice modded E46 M3 & I thought I had it bad lol. Kind of makes me feel better knowing a GTR owner likes/has an FRS too More power to you downgrading to work on "LIFE" Def have your priorities straight I should ask/take your advice

Hi everyone My name is Cassy and I traded in my '12 civic for this hot lava FRS. Reason for trading was because the FRS was just always an eye-catcher to me ever since it came out and I just had to have my hands on it haha.


heres my old car ( I do miss it dearly)

Civic looks good! Pretty low!

There's a handful of slammed cars on this forum but expect alot of hate if that's the direction your frs is going in. Lol

Not alot of people like my car, even at local frs meets I'd overhear negative conversations but it's cool. I like my car ^__^

Hey everyone--been checking out this forum over the past few days and am really psyched to get started on my Asphalt FR-S sometime in late July.

I'm a noob when it comes to working on cars but have big plans for both the FR-S and our 2013 Toyota Tacoma.

Congrats! I was a complete noob too (probably still am), but I'm really happy with what I've done, and I've learned a lot by doing, and of course from this forum.

BTW I'll be getting married in Indianapolis this summer!

Crazy--the reason the car has to wait until late July is I've got to pay for my wedding on Saturday myself.

Hoping theres some kind of Indy meetup. The city has such an awesome racing heritage.

Indy gets pretty hot and humid in the summer--I hope it's indoors with the A/C on...I got married in '83 in late May and it was hot!!!

Greetings FT86Club. I don't own an FRS but I was invited by one of your Texas members (Dustin) to swing by. I'm an admin at 86garage.com and a regular at C4AG. Ryan Morgan from Strange Rhythms has suggested I swoop by as well. Looks like the FRS/FT86 community has exploded over night. I'd like to see the next FRS sport a Corolla badge and revisit the AE86/92 body line the way Ford & Dodge resurrected the Stang and Challenger chassis.

Hi

First time at blogging. Bought my FR-S in may. I love it. I did a search to see if anyone was having problems getting bugs off the plastic grill/front of their FR-S. I can't seem to get it clean. I found this site, so I thought I would put it out there to see if anyone else if having this problem and see if they found any solutions. Thanks.
