I was around UT campus early yesterday morning (8:30ish) and saw a WRB BRZ, but I wasn't south after that. I'm not daring enough for a tattoo, lol!

Hahaha I've driven past that tattoo place twice.
First time SWP BRZ limited

Second time black FRS.

Maybe we'll see an uptick in "86" tats, haha.

Exchanged waves with a SWP BRZ on Preston just south of Lebanon turning off preston around 10:15. You looked lowered? Had aftermarket wheels and exhaust. You on here?

Husker BRZ · 02-17-2014, 06:06 PM

Spotted a whiteout FRS on Preston stopped at gaylord around 11:00. Honked and waved at you and saw you point/wave back! First time I've spotted two in one day!!! lol Maybe one will be on here!

superman999 · 02-18-2014, 02:36 AM

Saw a white BRZ while driving home from work at 11:30, Central and Mockingbird. I didn't see you until you drove past but I think you slowed down to wave!

Saturday 5:30pm southbound I35W in Fort Worth headed to downtown spotted red fr-s slammed with gold wheels.

Today 7:30AM Westport Parkway underneath I35W saw a black fr-s. I waived you didnt.

JonAvalon · 02-19-2014, 08:30 PM

Today in the 5 O'clock hour spotted a dropped Whiteout with wheels and exhaust on 377. I was sitting at the light of Basswood as you passed me. I waved but not sure if you saw me.

Anybody know where I can get a proper tune for my car in fort worth or dallas tx? I'm running a flash tune right now and don't think it's such a great Idea.

20firestorm13 · 02-20-2014, 04:09 AM

Is your car NA? What have you done to it. If it is NA a stock map, may not be terrible but you could be missing out of power and fuel management. What kind if tune was done. Is the Ecu locked to a specific type? There are two places in d/FW area that are ecutek licensed which is the most common I think.

Awdtuning I'm flower mound
Ats racing in Denton

You will hear good and bad from about both shops. Good luck an did you have any specific questions most of the guys around here and the Dfw general thread are pretty intelligent.

White BRZ Limited at Macarthur and Valley Ranch at around 6:45 last night. Noticed you at the last second. Saw you wave but I don't think you saw me wave back. I was distracted singing along to Jumper lol

I can reset it back to an na map. I am running the stage 2 tune from ft86speedfactory. I heard a lot of good things about awd tuning and was reccomended to visit Keith, I think that's what his name was. How much will they charge? Because everytime I try to get a hold of them I never get a response.. Maybe they get extremely busy. I would like to run a flex fuel kit so they could install it for me and tune my car on the same day, but don't know where to purchase one. I saw one on fa20club.com but a lot of people on this forum were saying to stay the fuck away from them..

You will always hear extremes of both good and bad regarding tuner shops. As for me, since the twins are still pretty new, I wouldn't want a tuner to tune my car if they don't own a twin and have never experimented with them. That's why I'm driving to Virginia to Ptuning instead of original option AWDtuning.
