Hello, umbedv94 and .

Yes, you do live in a great location to be driving an FR-S. I reckon I passed near where you live, when I drove from Verona to Venice ..... back in the late 60s.

Great mountain road driving North of where you live!

Yes the Mountain road are very good, but there aren't good circuits
My dream is going to live in the USA.

Hahaha! Today, I also bought that exact same car and color as the one above (2013)!

It is my first sports car and also my first car with a manual transmission (my last car was a Ford Focus 2005 hatchback with an automatic, so this is quite a jump for me!)

Our first date has been smooth for the most part, with a few hiccups here and there, but I feel it'll be a long-lasting relationship.

Driving a manual sure takes some adjusting though!

Congratulations and welcome to the forum and FR-S ownership....

First manual ..... hmmm ..... remember, the rev limiter will "save" your car going UP the gears ..... but it WILL NOT "save" your car going DOWN the gears. So, be careful when downshifting, to get it into the gear you're aiming at ....

Congrats Jaywest717 on your new FR-S. Yes a manual Trans will take some adjusting as humfrz said watch your speed when downshifting. But you catch on before you know it. Great cars you should really enjoy once you get it. And be extra care on incline that you have to stop on; rollback can be dangerous.

Yes. I'll keep that in mind! I try to rev it to 2K before releasing the clutch when I'm on a hill. This car is VERY sensitive. I also use the handbrake if the hill is too steep. Haven't rolled back into anyone yet....yet. I feel so alive on the road with this beauty! haha

new to the site. After about 12 years or so in rotaries, seems like Mazda is just about done with them, so looking for something that reminds what drew met to the first generation RX-7. Simple, light, and fun.

Hello @mustang .....

Welcome over here to the FR-S/BRZ side of fun driving.

Yep, I'm the same ol humfrz as on the miata.net. I sold my NC in April of this year and bought an FR-S.

As I recall, you are from Quebec and had a GG 2007 with a RSII muffler. Are you still retired?

Good to hear you like your BRZ ...... fun cars ain't they!

I am a young "retraité" of 20 years already!!!! My wife like the space and the hard top over her head....I like the driving, the heated seats, the 2 zones heather....... Too bad i will have to keep it in for the winter. I have a good "old Corolla" for the bad days.

Hi and ......

MODS you say ...... we got gobs of mod ideas ..... there are even mods to replace mods ....... like to get a set of "Perrin" exhaust tips and then replace them with a "nameless" set of mufflers ......
