You picked a perty color, there, FRS 86 .....

Happy motoring!

Thanks, I like it. I get crap cause it's a pearlescent color, but I take it in stride. I have Cards Against Humanity to thank for my friends coining it "Pixelated Bukkake White" after a camping trip game session, haha!

Hello all, new here and I figure I'll try posting here before I consider making a new thread. Here is my question:

I currently drive a 1991 s13 240sx hatch. I was just curious if any one has had experience with both that and the FRS and could compare them in terms of rear seat room and overall cargo space. I've been thinking about buying an FRS but have the responsibility of moving stuff since I'm still in college and the s13 has pretty decent cargo space for a small car. Thanks.

Thanks guys!

The pup is one of two yorkies. Never thought I'd be a fan of them but when my wife brought home the first, it wasn't long after that I suggested getting another!

As far as the Speed3, it definitely has the upper hand when it comes to the straight line power, even when stock (285 lb/ft of torque will do that

). With my current set up, I'm around 290hp & 315 lb/ft (virtual dyno, so take it with a grain of salt). With the parts I have sitting in the garage and with a decent tune, I could hit 305hp & 335 lb/ft without breaking a sweat.

With the right suspension set up and new motor mounts, its hard to ask for more!

Against a stock MS3, from a dig and with a decent driver behind the FR-S, I'd say the FR-S could hang on for the first few lengths, but once in 3rd I'd say the MS3 has it. I have a feeling it'll be the same story in the corners but the FR-S will probably MUCH more fun!

New here as of tonight. Just got my FR-S today. Been an avid auto-x and motorcycle track day enthusiast for many of my 21 years with a license. My current 2nd vehicle is a Kawi ZX-6R. So far I am loving this car. Had a truck for the past couple of years to haul the bike around, but with going back to school track days are a thing of the past, at least on the bike. Here is a pic of the car and the bike:

Hi. I buy too many cars and then I drive them for a while and sell them. I'm hoping the BRZ is the cure for the disease, because it's fun as hell.

TOTO_86 · 05-30-2014, 04:50 PM

I am selling an exhaust. Message me if you're interested.

Hello 86verse
I almost traded my Evo X today for a new FR-S. The deal didnt really work out, but im not done yet...

Anyone have pros or cons with double-duty? Im getting to the point where im not having much fun anymore because im constantly worried if my car will fail during a track day or on my way to work. I dont drive competitively, so im not too hard on it.

I know im asking for trouble pulling double-duty, but im stubborn... and jealous the frs folks are just enjoying themselves and a more organic track experience.

-dan

Also, is that F1 light on the bottom a reflector or functional?
