Awesome! What actually happened to that car? Looks like it fell off a train or something.

Congrats! Looking forward to the "after" pics. If I had to guess I'd say it was under a weak tree in a wind storm.

Shakey shakey CRUNCH!

Looks like somebody had a bit of a rollover lol. Glad you're going to resurrect that beauty. Would be interested in seeing your progress.

I have ordered a SBD turbo, motiv testpipe and overpipe, drift bar, OFT tune, and Exedy stage 2 clutch. Should have everything by Monday I will be installing all of this next Sat and Sun.
Welcome! I'm also in Gilbert.

I'm in Chandler. Great place for this car, especially with the AZ86 group.

I'm BaaaaAAAAaaaack!!

Well, after a 3 year Hiatus, I'm back!!

I sold my '13 Argento in August of 2012, due to financial circumstances and a need to balance some practicality and family life. I had been an active member of the forums and contributed videos and lots of good conversation, but I essentially disappeared after I sold my car - it was so hard to see you guys having fun with yours.

It's been a LONG three years, in which I drove a $500 '91 Corolla, and then a '99 323i (which I fitted with an H&R touring cup suspension and bits to make it handle well). I spent long hours on the e46 forums.. and tried to make it the car I wanted... but in the end, it didn't hold a candle to the FR-S. I'm happy to say I sold it (at a profit!), and i'm back where I belong!

So happy to re-join you guys, and looking forward to being an active member here again, rep'n Vancouver BC!

Now.. anyone know some good local tuners?!

Got my halo white Frs on may 14th, just been lurking around in the forums in the mean time... hoping to share some photos of my frs soon and keeping you guys updated on some mods i do. Also hoping to have some track days down on the road when its set up properly. In the mean time just enjoying my lovely little 86 and crying every time i wash it and find a blemish which seems to be an ordinary occurrence to alot of owners of the frs/brz haha
