Upstate SC meet??? - Page 11 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Oh man I haven't been on here in forever! Looks like we have a lot of new owners popping up.

WWShehan · 08-10-2014, 03:31 AM

Haha very true. We all seriously need to plan a cruise. I've never been and I've had my car about 9 months

ruskininja · 08-12-2014, 03:59 PM

Mind if I join in? I just fixed up a 2013 Scion FR-S 10-Series. Funny coincidence, I'm actually driving a car that was previously here (the one with the back window sticker in the picture). I'll post up some pics after I detail it tonight.

Shoutout to WWShehan for bringing me here from /r/FT86 on reddit.

WWShehan · 08-12-2014, 05:12 PM

Haha wow so the car you ended up with used to be a guy's in the group?? Also always looking for more 86s 👍

Welcome! The other 10 series in that pic is mine.

ruskininja · 08-12-2014, 05:26 PM

That's awesome! Can't wait to show off cars together. Also, anybody know the last owner personally? I'd really love to get the front emblem back. It's expensive as crap OEM and it'd be put to better use on my hood than it would as a keepsake.

If that car is the one I am thinking of, MountainManFR-S might know.

Also, if it is the 10 series I am thinking of, not sure why the front emblem is missing since I don't remember damage to the hood - only the passenger side.

Might be a different one though.

Side note - anyone up for a cruise over to Blairsville, GA some Saturday to grab some BBQ? Takes about 2 and a half hours to get there and the Blood Mountain loop is nearby =D. Will have to be sometime after Sept. 3rd since they're closed for a few weeks atm.

Side Side note - the place where that pic was taken has some really awesome gokarts. 20/10 would drop $50 or more to go drive karts there again.

Yeah, it was damaged all along the side. The hood was perfect except for the missing emblem. I got a small album after I originally got it.

Yeah that's probably it then. I was there that day lol.

Happened right around the time I took this

at the top of the mountain/hill/thing.

MountainManFR-S was there too, but he went back down to find the other cars that were missing when we pulled off there.

Edit - surprised they didn't automatically get the 10 series badge with the new bumper that went on it when the car was repaired.

ruskininja · 08-12-2014, 11:42 PM

The only thing that I replaced was that fender, control arm, and headlight lense (taillight just cracked, so I'm going to have to replace that lense too). Bumpers, door, and quarter panel were all fixed. I fixed it myself with the help of my dad, so we didn't just replace everything automatically. We asked about the backlit badge, but Toyota only has 3 in stock in NA and it'll cost an arm and a leg for it. I currently don't have that kind of money to throw around on a luxury item.

WWShehan · 08-13-2014, 01:02 AM

Could you not just use a regular stock frs badge? :/

ruskininja · 08-13-2014, 01:12 AM

I have one on right now, but it doesn't match the cool backlit one on the trunk.

WWShehan · 08-13-2014, 01:14 AM

Ahhh i gotcha. That would bother me too i guess. lol I'm guessing the badge is several hundred dollars?

ruskininja · 08-13-2014, 01:20 AM

Yup, $380. And being limited edition OEM, can't get it on ebay or anything. There's a cheap knock off on ebay, but it looks pretty ugly.
