Sup everyone! I had my 2013 whiteout FRS for about 8 months now, still haven't done anything yet, except for a TRD exhaust that I ordered with the car. Thanks for all the info here and hopefully I can make my car look as good as some of the ones I've seen here.

 Well now, since you got the exhaust purring, there is nothing else you really need for average driving. Maybe some different tires, if you want to hug the curves a bit closer. Mods ...... psssttttt......nah, not needed. But you see, I'm old ..... so, I don't give a rip if my car looks like stock! Now, wouldn't "I" look stupid, stumbling out of my FR-S with my suspenders & cane, if it was lowered, the wheels were all cocked outward, some flashy rims, tupperware hanging all over it and a 10,000 watt amp blaring ......  Mod away, young man ..... mod away .....  humfrz |

Of course the stickers make the car go faster....... I recall, back in the day, after I put this sticker on my stove bolt 6 powered Chevrolet ...... flathead, V-8 Fords and Mercs would just shudder and back away .... humfrz |

Oh, please don't say you're "trolling", that has a bad connotation, much better to say you have been "lurking" .....  We will look for pictures of your new FR-S come spring. Meanwhile, if you have questions ..... feel free to come out of "lurk" mode into "post" mode. humfrz |

Thinking of getting an FRS
Hi - I'm thinking of getting an FRS as my daily, not for racing, but only if I can mod it for another 150hp or so. I'm not technical so I'm looking for a trustworthy place in SD to do any mods. Any recommendations on tuners and approaches to get an extra 150? Thanks!

Hello all,
My Name is Aaron. from Winnipeg, Manitoba. also known as WinterPeg lol. quick blog how my FR-S came to be: I was not actually looking to buy a new car up until a month ago when i got into an accident (i was 0% at fault) & in end my 2011 Elantra got written off. after car lurking on the web and much debating, i decided on the fr-s. i test drove a demo at local dealer that had winters on it(also auto tranny so didn't get to try the manual till i got mine) & fell in love with it. they only had 2 2014's Manuals in stock, white & red so went with the white. I just picked up my 2014 Whiteout FR-S on Valentines Day. first thing first was putting on the winters (got a sweet deal of kijiji) as it is my daily & did theGrimmspeed Relocation Kit (mandatory to have front plates here & didn't want dealer drilling into front bumper/grill) Future Mod Plans: nothing fancy or crazy catback exhaust SRI new wheels & rims, both summer & winters lower it short shifter front strut tower brace Open to different ideas and suggestions,look forward to talking with you all |
