Hmmm... Your Miata looks pretty damn clean. Let us know what you think of the 86 in comparison.

A bunch of the guys here in Portland picked up some NAs and Bs for funzies.

I'm 6'5" so I can't join in.

It's taken many years to get it there, going on about 8 now. The car is going to transition to my wife so she can continue learning at the track, she's going on her second season on the track.

The NC is a great platform and would fit you with a race seat. We have had a few NCs at the shop, Good-Win Racing, that easily fit the owner Brian who is around 6' 3."

Hello everyone, I’m a happy owner of a silver metallic BRZ ‘17 Limited since July of 2017. It is such a fun car to drive and I love the tight handling feel of the car.
I hope you all have fun with your FRS/86 or BRZ. Will be posting here to share and to get help when needed. Enjoy a great 2018 everyone! =)

Hi Everyone, I just picked up my Toyota 86 in December 2017, its a 2013 model with only 17000km on the clock. It's the hi-spec, so takes some getting used to. But all in all, am really enjoying the ride. It has an after market exhaust, so it sounds pretty sweet! Looking forward to posts, and suggestions on the forum

Mine is on the right, my brother's is on the left...

Welcome, D_N_A. Nice pair of cars you guys have. Are you and your brother twins?

It's so weird seeing the non-U.S. base cars that have the 16 inch wheels. I'm just not used to it.

Enjoy the car, it is definitely a fun drive and handles great. Do you have any good twisty roads in or around Johannesburg? Put some nice high performance summer tires on it and you'll see how much fun you can really have.

Hi all, bought a secondhand 2012 ft86 last year. Lucky enough to find one with only 3000km in it. Previously i drove a volkswagen scirocco which is faster than my 86, but i have no regret, i love this car very much, it's a very fun car to drive. I've modded it quite a bit, feel free to check out my thread! Nice to meet you all.

Hello everyone! Antelope Valley California FR-S checking in. Purchased my 13' Asphalt back in August 2017 with 28k miles. Been lurking on the forums but finally joined a few days ago. Only mods atm are a dual N1 godsnow exhaust, OFT, eBay paintmatch TRD duckbill and currently waiting for Jackson Racing to send my JRSC C38 kit. Happy driving everyone.

Hello all!

I have been autocrossing in MN for 4 years. I started in a Toyota Corolla in HS, spent two years in an NB Miata in ES, and codrove an STS Miata last year. I plan to run STS again this year and still have my NB as a fallback.

I am set for autox, but I want something trackable. I have always liked the look of the twins and am delighted that Toyota and Subaru built a small, affordable, rear drive sports car. I am looking for one to buy and here conducting research.

Thank you for having a helpful and respectful community, I have already learned a ton from you!

Overdrive · 01-19-2018, 11:11 AM

Sure hope you pick one up. If you're used to throwing around Miatas, you'll definitely enjoy one of these on the track.

Hello All,

Just got my FRS last week, and wanted to say hi. It is a 2014 Monogram Edition. Wish I had a picture with it clean, but this will do for now.

Hi.

Oh, I already totaled this car... and bought replacement ('14 BRZ).

Welcome to this forum Jeff! We don't need another fast guy in SSC...so perhaps you can pick another car?

Ha, totally kidding! Good luck on the search, and hope to see you in the class.
