Sounds like London is darn near littered with the twins. Over here near Sarnia it's pretty much a handful of BRZ's probably because the Subie dealer is well established where the Toyo dealer just quietly absorbed the remains of Scion. Kind of nice having the FR-S because of it.

Fresh mod! Installed a UEL header and OFT tune on Wednesday. Header install went pretty smooth, the OFT was a used unit so I had to read the ECU, then hook it up to the computer to update it(took 45minutes), then upload the proper .bin, and hook it back up to the ECU to write it. I'm kind of goofy around computers so I was pleased to pull that off.
Good results. Torque dip is not nearly as apparent as before, and then it just flys to 7k. Idle is smoother and the tip in is nicer. Rest of exhaust is stock, so other than a nice rumble when you get on it, it sounds a lot like stock. Bang for buck this is a good mod.

Head over to Windsor if you want to see a city almost devoid of the FRS. When I am there I feel lost in a sea of Challengers and Mustangs. I have seen one BRZ in three years. Not a single other FRS.

Yeah, I've noticed that too. Windsor is big three or go home. I get down there a couple or three times a year to visit family and friends, grew up in Amherstburg so I know the culture down there is very different. "A sky-on what??" lol...

I think that was the same FRS I seen, it did have a wing on it

Saw a light blue brz coming down Pack road turning onto Bostwick yesterday.. I was in the white 86 turning onto pack road! Gave each other a friendly wave

Spotted a black BRZ on Wonderland Rd around 7pm and a 2017 BRZ with front relocated license plate at the shoppers plaza just now

At about 11am this morning I followed a FR-S east out of Warwick on hwy22 then it turned north on Nuavoo rd. It was white and had a shark fin antenna. Sadly I wasn't in my FR-S at the time, but it was nice to follow one for a while. They look good.

STI-ish · 06-30-2017, 08:51 AM

Yeah the south end pretty much sucks for seeing the twins. I see the same couple but don't think they are in here....a white FRS female driver...she's delivery for dominos, I follow a blue frs from st t to London every once in a while and another blue FRS works at Jiffy lube on Wellington.
I'm always keeping an eye out...and don't be surprised if I give a big dorky wave when I see you...I just get excited! ��

Oh sure NOW you extend the discount. Where were you 3 years ago at this time? Was 3 years ago today that I bought my FRS there. Tell Nicole the guy with the Lava from the showroom is still very happy on his anniversary!

toyotastic · 07-24-2017, 07:21 PM

Lol, I just started 4 months ago. Not too late to trade in your 14' for a 17' 86 in Hot Lava! Definitely will tell Nicole for ya!

Don't want a 17 they are ugly as sin (to me). Now if you can find a brand new 16 Lava and give me about 3 times what my old one with 180K and debris battered front end is worth...
