Yeah Ian McDougall, who is one of the main guys behind all the NODRFT events at Nola Motorsports Park works there and they built his LS powered 240. So they definitely know what they are doing over there.

Brand new 2014 Scion FR-S MT in Firestorm owner here. I'm in Lafayette, LA. What goes on around here for car enthusiasts? Also, what are good local "tuner" shops? I'm new to Louisiana as I just moved from Texas.

Any info of cars and coffee in the area?

What are you looking for, place to get parts and work done?

I'm looking mainly for parts, but if I ever don't have the tools, then maybe work.

I am a decent enough mechanic that I do most the work on my cars myself.

My roommate is one of their sales guys, if you need parts let me know.

Not sure I've ever checked in or not but 13 white out/semi black Frs m/t. Local to Slidell.

Here's a most recent photo. Owned since feb 13. May know a few of you from local shows.

That's a slick paint scheme. I like the black accent under the windows.

This is my '14 BRZ Limited in Lightning Red, the day I took delivery of it. I'm keeping it mostly stock for now.

Hey guys, looking at buying a Perrin catback at some point in the future, and though I'd love to attempt to install it myself (seems easy enough), I simply don't have access to a lift or any other way to safely and easily get under my car. Anyone know of a good shop in Baton Rouge that won't break the bank?

Can bring it by @mottor 's place and we can throw it on for some beer. Took maybe 45 minutes to put his on

It's always quiet in here. Even the Kentucky threads have banjos and rednecks.

Guess I'll finally say hi. Hi. Had my BRZ for about a month now. Slowly creeping up to 1000 miles...

A little update with me..

Spent 6 hours detailing the FRS for Hot Import Nights two Friday's ago. Drove to Houston from Lake Charles on the following Saturday. Showed the car with positive reactions from everyone I spoke with. Sunday morning attended Coffee and Rice hosted by Mayday Garage. Last Monday night...

Last Monday night I was out returning a movie and decided to drive a bit. Going around a curve under an overpass, a cat ran in front of me and I reacted by swerving. The car broke loose and I ended up sliding into a tree. I wasn't injured, but the car was totaled.

I couldn't decide what my next car should be. I didn't want an FRS again, but nothing else on the market in my price range "fit" me. Called Giles and they had a Satin Silver BRZ Limited on the lot. Drove over last Friday and made it mine.

Damn I'm sorry to hear that! At least your car looked damn good in the show before the accident and you still ended up in a twin

Are you parting out anything on the FRS?
