The two cars that were on my short list of purchase options. Just not a fan of hatchbacks, even though the St has plenty of good power. Welcome and enjoy!

Hello everyone, have had my RS 1.0 for a couple years now, have been deployed for a bit of my ownership time. I have some very basic modifications but planning on FI and many supporting mods following my current deployment. Look forward to exploring the vast amount of information and knowledge on the forum!

Hey Y'all. My name is Belle. I'm a blonde who happens to restore and build old cars (also working on a 68 bronco), and a physicist and boxing coach by day.
I've got a 2016 FRS Base - Black - Injen Intake, MF exhaust, Dyno and Delicious mapping and tuning, and a flexfuel system. Full sound system upgrade as well. Got a couple carbon fiber pieces on her, Spec-D light bar headlights, Valenti custom rear lights are on order (still another 6 weeks for manufacturing).
Looking into getting a carbon fiber hood for Lucy today, 13-16 FRS all have the same frame correct? Or am I losing it? So a 2016 hood would also fit Lucy?

That's a crazy resume you have there 😂. If you're from socal, there's a meet every Tuesday @Boomers parking lot. Tons of knowledgeable people. I'm about 2 months new with a 2017 so can't really answer your question but welcome!

Welcome. No real body changes happened from 13-16, just minor things inside and even more minor things outside (shark fin antenna in place of the normal style one, larger exhaust tips in place of the tiny ones that came on US cars), along with some suspension tuning changes after the first two years to make the rear end not quite so tail happy. Otherwise the car went essentially unchanged until the Toyota move. So virtually anything available for a pre-17 car will work in all the model years 13-15, with very few exceptions. If you find a CF hood, model year shouldn't be an issue.

Hiya,

Got my Firestorm 6mt ride in August of 16. Loving the squeeling prius tires and everyone trying to beat me off red lights. Coming from an 8th gen si this car is lots of fun in the rain and Canadian winter

Thanks for having me

Hey Guys! Been lurking around the forums for about almost a year now and figured why not register and get to know some of the community.

Currently rocking a '16 FRS as my Daily/Fun car while I try to build the Supra which is a slow progress project. Here are pictures of my toys.

Hey, everyone!

I traded in my truck for an FR-S last January. It's my first sports car and first manual. Lovin' it. This is the first time I've actually enjoyed driving.

Hello!

Coming on just over a week of ownership at this point on my '14 FR-S. Nice upgrade after my (late) Camry. And despite the AT, I'm loving every second of it.

I am! There's lots of boomers in SoCal, so you'd have to tell me which one.

Thank you! I got her all set up. Ordered Borla unequal headers today as well. Wheels and tires should be here soon. Then I can let the car savings account (yeah I have to separate it because I'm not responsible enough LOL) recover.

I'd say that the fact that you know that about yourself and have a separate account because of it is pretty damn responsible.
