The passion is BACK! Not since my highschool days in my (obnoxiously loud and dropped) Del Sol have I felt this passionate about my daily driver. This is what a car should be (well, minus the anemic stock engine power)

Couple of questions off the bat:
The engine ticks at idle. Sounds like a belt/cog is tapping something. Not horribly loud but noticeable, especially for less than 100mi so far. Anyone else?

It's a lease but I def. want to mod. A local friend is parting out his BURZ and offering me first dibs! I'm considering his barely used Berk front pipe and Perrin cat back. Not sure if the header and subsequent tune are worth it for a lease. Thoughts? Anything else that's easily bolt-on/bolt-off you would put on the must have list?

Dealership claims the spoiler would be > $1k painted & installed. JESUS. Anyone selling a halo white spoiler?

Short ram intake. Worth it? Easy enough to return to stock?

Anything you wish someone would have told you at the beginning?

A drop-in filter is the best bang for the buck. The oem intake design is pretty decent, the filter being the biggest kink.

I have plans on a FRS within the next year.

I don't generally take many pics, but I'll get some up of the rides when I have a bit more time if anyone's interested.
Welcome. Nice to see another Cbus owner.

Hey everyone! I'm new here on the forums, I've had my frs since last year but had just recently joined to learn more. I'm also new to modifying cars, but I'm open to learn. I've recently installed the JRSC and a HKS Spec L exhaust with the help of a good friend. Tomei UEL headers on the way soon!

I'm also from the Temecula area, I've been seeing a few frs around.

Hey everyone, picking up my '13 white GT86 with 18k miles later this week. Can't wait to put some fun miles on it! I've already found some great tips and info on this forum, you'll probably see me posting more and more in the future.
