Sorry for the late response, but have you checked out the SoCal section? Plenty of activity over there as well as plenty of meets, most of which are concentrated in the 626 area.

Check them out since you're willing to meet more SoCal owners.

Hey names Richie aka Philadelphia's Green Ranger, just bought a new 2016 Scion FRS in Halo MT and it's great driving one of these things. My dad used to own a Red Trueno 86 and loved being in the backseat when he drove me to school. We then traded it in for a New 93 Acura Legend coupe type 2 and it's still running great and still with me. Anyways I'm glad to be a part of the 86club and hopefully meet some of you guys if you are in the area.

I've been a reader here quite a bit. I picked up a 2015 Ultramarine FRS back in August. Made a few minor changes recently like 5AD spoiler and Enkei rims for my summer tires. Looking forward to modding it further.

My car is a 2015 Scion Fr-s AT in raven, really wanted white but couldn't take the extra cost of a 16 in halo.



My first modifications were
1. Remove dealership badging
2. Dipped windows visors (sucks to find out you cant remove them cleanly)
3. Dipped my rear license plate frame
4. Removed front license plate bracket

Going to be testing with a 3d printed sound chamber plug with the 86 logo for the interior intake resonator just to hear the difference







My visors had some bubbling on the warning sticker which I tried to pop with a needle but didnt help so I had to remove the bubbles and deal with a small pit

Anyways

So, I'm an owner of a 2016 Halo Scion FR-S, and like many others on the forum, I absolutely love it. It's nothing special compared to other member's cars on the forum; it's no X-Spec GTX TRD Edition with moar power, it's not a stripped down race car (which means I'm not qualified to give advice on suspension setups or racing in general), but damn it, it's mine and it's staying with me for a long time, if not forever.

I'm actually already familiar with some of the SoCal members already. They're a silly bunch of people.

Here is a frontal-ish side view of car as it sat on 8/6 day at Modbargains:

Hello Everybody! New Here! I just got an Ultramarine FRS the other week (Already changing badges and putting my winter tires on). Don't really do much online, but I have been a long time reader of this site. I figured I would sign up. Great info and entertaining convos to be found here. Look forward to taking part in what goes on here.

El header and tune will take care of that. Or you can change your final drive to 4.55 (I assume you have a stick?)

Hey guys, I'm Marat. I got my ultramarine FR-S mid this year and loved it ever since. I come from a 240sx world and I am almost finished building my track car for next year's drifting season.

Hi there everyone, recently bought a 2013 gt86 don't know much about these cars except that they look good. Great handling but needs some work such as new tires, maintenance, it's done around 35k. Was looking through the Internet for some forums to give me advice and came across this. Seems pretty active.

Hello there everyone,

I just picked up my brand new 2016 raven FR-S. I traded in my 2012 Jetta which had massive tranny issues (and only 145k km). Volkswagen blamed it all on having non-oem floor mats... but anyways, I am loving the FR-S. It will definitely be a high mileage car as I have done 2300km on it in just 2 weeks, and I plan on posting updates and what not. I got the extended power train warranty for 200k km so I am not worried about anything going anytime soon.

Will posts pics eventually. I also want to create a DIY to installing subwoofers using stock head unit some time this summer. Still deciding on things like whether I should tint, what winters to get, new wheels if any, etc.
