New here? Come say hi =)

[qcbaker]

Hello all. Proud new owner of a 2013 FR-S. 56K miles, MT, Asphalt. Haven't driven manual in a few years, drove it home to Harrisburg PA from NYC last night. NYC traffic was a trial by fire for my rusty manual skills lol.

Only issue the car has is tail light condensation and I've ordered the Ninja Gaskets in hopes that they will solve that issue going forward.

Hey guys, I don't have an 86 yet but I will in the next year or 2.

Welcome! As an enthusiast, rather than an owner, be sure to do plenty of research with the information you'll read here! You'll be more than prepared for your vehicle once you've acquired it by that point. This is an incredible resource and has some of the best forum etiquette and attitude I've seen anywhere. We all surely look forward to hearing about your car once you've taken ownership!

Any preferred color/spec/brand you're leaning towards? Future plans?

I'm saving up my money and I'm planning on selling my current car (2011 Elantra) to help with the cost. I hate to sound spoiled but my Dad said he'd help with the remainder as a graduation gift for my bachelor's degree.

I'll go for a Toyota 86 manual transmission (base model) in a silver or dark gray color like the asphalt color they have for it.

As for plans, I won't be able to modify it until I get an actual engineering job after my Masters degree because I would have already spent everything on the car and tuition so the HELLABROKE sticker I saw one time would be fitting haha.

Gonna keep it stock for awhile, first thing that comes to mind would be an exhaust and air intake along with better tires and lighter wheels. Maybe a turbo one day but the 86 would double as my daily driver so I don't want to kill my mileage.

That being said this would be my first foray into being an actual car guy that works on their car. The only thing I know how to do is change oil/wipers/tires.

Just wanted to drop in and say hi. I had my 2015 Scion FRS for almost 2 years, bought it used for an incredible price and loved every minute of driving the car. I bought a couple of things for the car finally, got Ambit FF3 wheels coming in next week, tein street basis Z coils, and camber bolts. This will be a slow but surely my money pit. Thanks guys and gals.

Hi everyone! New driver of a 2018 GT86 Pure Red AT from the Philippines. I love this car so much and it’s an honor to be a part of this community. It’s my daily most of the time.

Hi all, got my 2015 FR-S just over 2 weeks ago. Ultramarine (or blue for a less pretentious name) and an air diffuser. I love driving it and find myself thinking of places to go. It currently has some Atlas all weathers, so I'm waiting for some Michellin PS 4s to come in (tomorrow or the next day). It reminds me of driving my 280z.

Hello Aqualynx,

Congrats on the purchase. By the way, I have my 86 coming in this late June or early July. If I may ask, does the infotainment contain a navigation system already or do you need to get a sort of card for it?

Oh, and I'm from the Philippines also. Have a nice day.

Best Regards.

Congrats too! To be honest, I still haven’t yet explored the car’s features enough especially the infotainment aside from using Spotify, but there’s navigation, just haven’t tried it yet. Here’s a pic.



When you got a car like this, you tend to forget all the features and just drive, it’s that good. They should put a self-control feature as I can’t help but to just drive it, but I will get my time to dive into the features very soon. Congrats again fellow Filipino driver!

Hello Aqualynx,

Thank you for your response. Can't wait for the arrival. Hehe, I guess we just need to explore the features ourselves (but driving the car would be the first priority. haha!) Ingat pre.

Hi all, been stalking these cars for too long, and found a brand new brz w/performance pack. Just breaking it in, but its getting better rubber, RCE tarmac springs, and the SPC alignment bits.

Car feels great. I've owned some sports cars and road raced a few different rear wheel drive chassis out there. I'd say this is a proper sports car that wants to be driven! I rather like the lack of brute power because you have to use the right foot to be planted.

Great little car, love the stick, love the sound! Wish i really could have these plates to jack with the local cops, hahaha.

I've been lurking on this forum for months and finally pulled the trigger on a 2015 FR-S in Firestorm red with 30k miles on the clock. My only regret is that I didn't get one years ago.
