Man, I still kind of want one! I love the look of it... But mainly because it's full TRD.

Excited to see what you do to the car this eyar

I was pretty close to buying it a few times already. There's one up for sale here! But our dollar sucks so bad that it's not worth it right now.

I'm still going back and forth between Varis or Aimgain... We'll see.

This year I'm just doing the basics just so it doesn't feel so lame driving my stock car everywhere LOL.

Any new plans for you?

Imo I don't think it's worth it. You can easily just add that TRD kit from dealer for the frs. And it's yellow that's what it's killing for me kinda.

Jay, just buy the aimgain so much better looking.
Or mix and match?
Aimaris? Vargain?

It's actually not just the TRD kit - It's the JDM headlights, the push start, all the extra JDM goodies that cost quite a bit to do after the fact. The yellow could look sick once you have good wheels and some better aero I think.

I totally could mix and match... I like the varis front and aimgain rear... Who knows... We'll see!

Too cheap and too poor for anything new lol... Just plan on getting as much seat time possible this year. Will probably have to do tires and brakes to be competitive though.

BTW, anyone here have a set of Tein coilover wrenchs I can buy/borrow for a weekend? I cant think of any stores that stock them. I know Speedtech used to when they were still open, but that was ages ago.

Wait they actually think they will get $36k for a Factory FRS?

Calgary Sports Car Club and Southern Alberta Solosport Club. Trackjunkies for Castrol.

Checkout Karelo.com for CSCC and SASC events. Select "Driving" for events, and search for CSCC or SASC.

Red Deer Sports Car Club also has autox. I find they're a bit more relaxed/not as busy. http://www.rdscc.ca/

Joe, I don't think those places have them in Stock.

One place I can think of is Edmonton. PM Leo song or Peter luu on Fb and see if they have them

Will do. I think JRP has them in stock, but I just don't feel like wasting shipping $ for a menial item. Anyone else need something? Share shipping costs? I want to take apart my coils and clean them up. After using them the tail-end of last winter, I can already see some oxidation on the top mounts, scared to see what it looks like underneath.

You got any new plans for this year?

It's all in plans for now. Nothing to big or fancy.

Need to find new wheels, maybe buy that lux motion wide body. New trunk for sure and maybe that supercharger kit in Calgary (don't know if I have the budge this year)
