I wish I remembered to ask the Yokohama guys when I was there. But I did find out that tirerack has the FRS listed and with both Enkei wheels. I didn't check to see if they were 17's or 18's though.

Ditto -- thank you for posting the pics and videos.

The event was nicely set up and everyone was good natured. The Scion folks were really pleasant and competent, and the event reflected very well on brand.

Agreed -- with the caveat that the pavement was very smooth. 18-inch wheels and a stiffer suspension may not go so well with more typical Baltimore/DC area pavement.

From outside, I concur (and the exhaust tips looked much nicer to boot). From inside the car, though, I found it was too loud to my taste. Other than that, very much enjoyed the car.

Looks like tirerack lists the PF01 in 18x7.5 with 45mm offset and RPF1 in 18x7.5 with 48mm offset. Both recommending 215/40-18 tires.

The RPF1 comes in a 18x8 with the proper bolt pattern but it's not listed on tirerack.

LOVE the way the TRD exhaust sounds! It lends the car a deeper, fuller sound vs. the stock flatter and more appliance-like tone. Pardon my ignorance, but is the TRD exhaust axle-back or cat.-back?

csaba · 05-07-2012, 12:14 AM

I like the OEM wheels better

igorot · 05-07-2012, 01:45 AM

the pf01's dont really look nice being this flat

I was there at the event and saw a buncha folks taking pics assumed it was you folks haha. I got there around 10:40 and there were a few people taking pics of the black FR-S in the lot not being autocrossed.

The event was great and I wish they actually had something for the FR-S Buyers :P

Car handled and drove a lot better than I expected!

has to be a axle back. I thought the exhaust note was nice but no where as near as aggressive as a TRD exhaust for a scion tC or something like that. I need it a bit louder and meaner.

A few friends and myself made it out to the 2-3 session on Saturday, and I'm so glad I signed up. And we made a couple cameos in people's photos! I'm the long haired guy with the gray polo and glasses. I'll post up my own photos and impressions as soon as I can.

Sportsguy83 · 05-07-2012, 10:23 AM

How can I know when will the next event happens? Anyone know if one will happen in FL?

What size wheels and tires were fitted? I'm most interested in front fitment.
