I'm scared to also stall it at red lights, but I haven't stalled at any stop signs. Trust me, give it 3 weeks and you will be good to go. Starting is the hardest part. I purposely stopped on a hill today to try it out. Yea, that wasn't fun. Just be patient and don't get discouraged! Everyone who started learning a standard was in the same position.

For those that haven't got the "hill start" down yet. Here's an old trick.

Put your e-brake on so it will hold the car. Start letting the clutch out, you'll physically feel the car pull agaisnt the brake, then drop the e-brake and continue throttle.

Another trick to starting from a stop. Slightly blip the throttle as your easing off the clutch, when you feel the car move, continue driving as normal.

Two of the tricks my friend taught me to driving a manual when I bought my first one.

These are great tips. The same tips my dad taught me when I was learning.

At the show people seemed to be ignoring the RS but were all over the monogram and an asphalt. Interestingly no one was also near the "race" FR-S that was on display, probably because you couldn't see any of the mods and it wasn't detailed.

Im guessing since the kit looks to be a modified JDM TRD kit, that the front lip sticks out because it doesn't actually have that front grille trim/lipstick/front licence plate piece attached to it. And it seems they didn't bother shaving it down to a less prominent looking extension.


I don't mind the yellow, I actually like it. Ive seen the RS7.0 tC's around and they look pretty sharp. I think the drop helps too.

My guess is that they will be pretty close to the monogram prices. Replace the bespokeness with the quad exhaust and springs instead of heated leather seats. Obviously yhat is me assuming they don't come with yhe leather heated seats because it isnt mentioned in the little blurb.

We have all been told at Toyota it will be under 30k.

Watch it be something like $29,995 or something like that, I do like Yellow very much, but my family members don't lol I'm not allowed to have a yellow car lol.

i went down to the dealership today to see if i could get a more educated guess.

subtracting the dealer installed options, and processing fee, a monogram in manual came to $27,800+805 processing fee. leading it to be $28,605

so considering the 1.0 has aero, exhaust, and springs, I would put it somewhere around $28,500 + $805 processing fee.

so maybe $29,3 before taxes and title
