Hi, all. Thanks for having me.
Back in the day I used to have a blast with my '70 240Z. 14 years ago, after some impromptu chassis mods, I replaced her with a '91 no-frills 1.8L Eclipse. The dealer gave me 500 bucks for her. I am now the proud second owner of a shiny, almost-new FR-S! (His wife wanted the red one) Crickets, camshaft sensors, output shafts, intake manifold kazoos, whatever... I say "bring it!" It's a beautiful, imperfect machine and they're gonna bury me in it. For the courageous Team Toyobaru, thank you and bravo! |

I'm Alex, from Canada. I know absolutely nothing about cars, but these two vehicles have really sparked my interest. Hopefully I can learn a lot from these forums and everyone here. See you around!

new car user and member
Hello, I just recently bought a standard 2014 FRS and I haven't made a lot of search before getting it. So, I would say that I am pretty new
![]() My previous rides: integra gsr H22 Civic DX Stock Civic DX 01 Prelude & turbocharged toyota Soarer and now, I am trying something new! (literally) I am looking forward for a good community here!

Well Hello
Hey guys
Completely new to these types of forums because honestly the FRS will be my first car ever (because I am spoiled). Hopefully I can learn tons of new things here and am looking forward to modding my car with your help.

Hey guys. This is my first post after being a forum lurker for the past month, and I just wanted to intro myself. Recently traded in my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and financed a sexy 6-spd 2014 monogram hot lava FRS. Looking to begin modding soon.
I'm in SoCal (Anaheim Hills area), so I look forward to meeting other FRS/BRZ owners in Orange County/LA/surrounding areas to meetup/chill with and go on drives once in a while. Pics below ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Hey all! Just picked up our new Hot Lava FR-S this past weekend and have been loving every mile! The break-in period can't wrap up soon enough.
She'll be a daily driver for the most part while I continue to work on my Speed3. Swaybar upgrade, some new springs, lighter wheels and UEL headers will be certain mods (must...have...rumble...). Looking forward to being part of the community and making some meets. And of course, now for the obligatory photoshoot ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ...and the Speed3 ![]()

First time poster, long time stalker. Finally got my '14 FR-S 6SPD last weekend in Whiteout with TRD goodies. Wanted something to thrash around the autocross and for roadtrippin' with the wife. Gonna keep it basic for the most part and get an extra set of wheels with slicks for the pavement pounding.
