Hi.....I just started on this forum because I bought an FR-S not too long ago and would like to get some other's info on things because I've had muscle cars all my life, and still do. So needless to say, the imports aren't my strong suit even though some things are still relatively the same.

Welcome, Doc. How are you enjoying the car so far?

DocRecon · 05-09-2020, 10:04 PM

Good. I like it pretty well even though it's just a 4-banger. It's a considerable change compared to my V8; no doubt, but I still like it. After a few essential mods, like tires, headers, cat-back, tune, and so on I'm starting to dial it in to what I want out of it. I'm still working a bit on the suspension and have a Kraftwerks SC planned for it.

Trust me, if I had the money to do it I would--that, or the 2JZ. I'd love to have a strict build car of that nature.

Hello everyone, Just signed the paperwork on a new 2020 86 Hakone edition. It’s gorgeous! I’m nervous, yet excited. Lots of people talk about this car and they have split opinions about how it runs as an everyday driver. Hopefully by chatting with people here I will feel more obliged by your opinions as you are actual owners.

It runs like any other car as an everyday driver.

Welcome.

the best advice? pay attention. it's in the subtle and gentle nudges. it steers, it moves, it brakes. the obvious parts all work the same.

Yeah I got a 69 corvette myself, kiss the low end torque goodbye.. but above 3500 it's way more fun, and twisties is way more fun.. !! That includes compared to modern muscles I've driven not just my old one. It's a fun car and I'm kind of addicted to it.

Hi all. I am new here. My name is Aleks. I live in Memphis, TN by way of Novouralsk, Russia. I have now had over 150 cars. Currently own a 2006 Montego Blue BMW z4 6 speed. Also as of three days ago I acquired a 2019 (new) BRZ limited/sport package. It is black in color. Really love the car. Looking forward to supercharging it within the next two years. I manage a shop, so this would not be an issue to do over the weekend. What type ECU flash would you guys recommend? I am weary of modifying the vehicle until the end of the warranty, however I have done this before in a fairly serious way with my 17 Jetta turbo. Also, has anyone been able to adjust the heigh of the seat belt in anyway? The MF'er rubs into my neck. I am a fairly good size fellow at 6'1 258 lbs, but find the vehicle mostly comfortable.

First time poster. Lots of great info here about a fantastic little car. 2017 86, just added 949 Racing 6UL 17x8 wheels in tungsten with 245/40. Lowering springs are next.
