Youngest kid to drive your FR-S?
My good friend, Travis, turned 15 about two months ago. He got his driving permit soon after and he has actually put more miles on my FR-S than I have! He is pretty proud of this and he wanted me to share it with you guys.
Where was a cool mentor like me when I was 15 years old!?! Check out his drifting skills in the video. Nothing crazy, but pretty good counter-steering for someone who has only been driving for about six weeks!

By the way, the demonstration of the traction control was kind of a failure... so I never posted it on the site, haha.

My youngest son (15 also) had the opportunity to drive mine, but since he turned 15 in February, looks like you still have me beat out.

I'm 18 and drive mine daily, but I'm not letting anyone else drive it, way too paranoid.

was it understeering because of the new tires / sizing? I am seriously wondering if wider tires are going to suck the fun out of this car or if that's just marketing hype. I mean 200hp isn't a lot of power, but keeping the wheels around 16-17 and maybe 8 inch wide all around should be that bad should it?
sorry to derail your thread... cool vid! |

Coming from an S14 I never went higher than 17x7.5. I think anything over 8.5 will cause too much grip. At that point you would have to do suspension work to get it to slide better.
Back on topic. The youngest kid I, might allow to drive mine would be my brother, but he's 21. |

I noticed the tpms light was on. I take the new wheels didn't have the sensors? If so this video proves you can still turn the trac controls off and have no sensors.
