Hi guys new to the forums and modding cars. I bought my 2015 scion frs in FEB. I love my frs. I think its time to mod my car haha. I'll try my best to mod my car and have fun doing it! Thank you!

Hi, Suzy here. I’m a week into owning a manual 86 GTS with big Brembo brakes, Sachs suspension, and 17” wheels. It’s an Apollo Blue one, which they’re doing in Australia as a package.

Very happy. So far I’ve added a full size spare and deleted the noise tube. I’m looking into a new head unit.

Lots of road noise in my 2013 86. Anybody out there willing to help me troubleshoot? If so, and if it’s allowed, my cell number is (813) 728-9064. I’ll respond with assistance on your car, maybe lunch if nothing else! Thanks in advance. Greg

Welcome Greg. I have a '13 with almost 150,000 miles on it. The road noise is a feature of the car, not a problem you can troubleshoot. About the only way to fix it would be to pull up all the carpet and add sound-deadening material then put the carpet back.

Either that or turn the radio up louder.

Joined the club, 2016 brz auto! Need to look into cupholders, phone mount, and armrest ASAP so if anyone has good threads or ideas let me know!

Well I dove in and bought a 13’ lava frs. Had 53k on it. Carmax was great. They let me hear it start stone cold with 4” of snow on it. It has no issues that I’ve found yet. I had to get an auto just in case my fiancé has to drive it. I thought it was going to be horrible with the auto. But it’s not half bad. Certainly better than a lot of autos out there. And of course it’s going on a rack at work to check it out better before the 7day return is up

Hey everyone, new to the forum, currently shopping for an FRS/BRZ to replace my current crop of cars.

Been around car forums for the past 15 years, looking forward to getting to know some peeps here as well!

Hi Ryan, happy new year and all that jazz!! Intrigued, "crop of cars"?

Robcokiwi · 12-31-2018, 07:41 PM

I just bought a flooded 2017 86. It was not running and I was hoping like crazy
it would be a simple fix. It's getting more and more complex. Very thankful for the wiring diagrams posted on this site - have been extremely needed. Hopefully one day it will be up and running and I can post a pic.
So thanks for all your help.

Years ago I decided to stick with my crop of Subaru's and not buy a BRZ/FR-S. Not sure why cause I am really enjoying driving this car. I am happy to be a member of this community.

An 86 is about half a Subaru, right? Maybe this community can educate me.

Got into a 2015 FR-S RS 1.0 several months ago. Was in a VW GTI for just under 2 years as my first fun (and manual) car and wanted something more dedicated as driver's car. Drove the FR-S home to LA from Sacramento then hopped back in the GTI to bring it around the block to sell it and everything about the GTI just felt more numb. At that point I knew I made the right purchase!

This is my first foray into trying to get into the car community. Looking forward to new experiences!

Hey guys!

Currently I'm down to an '07 Range Rover Sport, '10 VW Golf 2.5, '96 Grand Cherokee, and an '89 BMW 325i, as well as a couple motorcycles (Ducati ST4 and a '79 Harley Lowrider).

I'm in the process of getting rid of the 325i, Golf, and probably the Range Rover. I'll be looking for an FRS/BRZ in the lower range of prices, $13-15k, then rock the Grand Cherokee throughout our beautiful Wisconsin winters

Notable past cars that I really enjoyed:
2000 Porsche 911
2000 BMW M5
1998 and '95 M3
2002 WRX w/a lot of mods
and then quite a few sport bikes as well.
