![]() Only use top tier hi-test gas. Read the whole manual. Keep back from parking stops. It takes 10 posts before the "Thanks" button will appear on posts for you. Drive it one month before you consider any mods ...... then ask yourself .... WHY ?? Have fun! humfrz |

Honestly,the only thing I'm thinking of getting for it is a set if Rotas and a spoiler(have one sitting at the dealership,but I don't like the OEM spoiler). I've already made a few plaques for the center console,where the heated seat controls are,that I'll be posting soon. |

New owner
I purchased my new FRS two weeks ago. Loving it. I also appreciate the great resource that is this forum. Spent a lot of time reading the board before making my purchase and I have been amazed by the amount of information available here.

Hey folks!
Just got my FR-S a few days ago - looking forward to being a part of the community. I also did lots of research here before buying, and it totally convinced me to take the plunge. Loving it so far: I keep looking for excuses to go somewhere, just to get behind the wheel. I guess I should give up needing an excuse, eh? Just drive for the sake of driving... |

![]() Yep, I suggest you start the modding with a turbocharger and a tune. Then since you have more power, you must open up the exhaust with a new, full (including headers) exhaust system. The clutch will have to be replaced to hold all that power. Oh, yes bigger wheels and better tires will be required. A better suspension will be needed to drop and stabilize that monster that you have created. BTW, bigger brakes to stop that more powerful machine are recommended. A search of this forum will show you how to do these mods ...... we are here for you ....... humfrz |

![]() (what the heck is or was a Adocileraptor .....??) Anyway, there are no "stupid" questions on this forum ...... however, there are questions that have been asked and answered before and questions that are addressed in the car's owners manual....... iffen ya get ma drift. Yep, I suggest you read the whole owners manual and try searching before asking questions. If you still are confused, make a post and the forum experts will help you out ...... ![]() Oh yes, beware of parking stops ...... they move forward and raise up, when they see a FR-S pulling up ..... ![]() humfrz |
