Yes that's more than likely why. I just installed my HKS Headers on my JDM Toyota 86, with the HKS Flash Editor and it tuned it perfectly. But thats because it's JDM. The FE won't be able to tune your Car but Open Flash Tablet or Ecutek should work since those tuners support your American version FRS.

Toyota 86 in the building!

Hello all!

Just bought an FR-S a couple weeks ago. Looking to meet some of you and learn some stuff along the way!

Cheers!

Yes. Recommend doing research and asking questions in the following subsection:

Look on Nor Cal regional forum page. There are a couple threads.

So, I did it. Pulled the trigger on this 2017 with <30k mi. Probably overpaid a little, but its a 6 speed and red and in near perfect condition. Came with a Borla axleback which is a tad loud for my taste (its pretty tho), but otherwise its perfect.

I'd like to SC at some point, but that will probably be a year off at least. In the meantime, is Open Flash Tablet with a tune for stock to help the 4k dip a good idea?

Sorry if this is a dumb question. For the life of me I can't figure out how to send a thanks. Any pointers?

Try it now? You should see a "Thanks" button next to the quote button below each post once you have enough posts. I thought the number was 10, but you might need a few more if it doesn't show up.

Be advised that like any forum there are scammers lurking and waiting for just such a request. Be wary of anybody with no post history that suddenly messages you and says they have exactly what you want. Odds are it is a scammer.

First off, thanks to the Admins & Mods who have created and manage this forum. It's their efforts that differentiate this site from the others and member participation is the barometer that measures success.


I've always been partial to sport coupes starting with a '73 Capri (4MT) through my last which was an '07 E92 (6MT) and probably my favorite one. I was semi-retired when I purchased it, did PCD in SC and expected to have many happy miles together. I was very active on E90Post.com. Alas, in '08 I went back to an office job and it became my DD, rowing the gears from light to light in a 6 mile commute. The last straw was in '13, when a few inches of snow gave me that uneasy feeling of lack of directional stability, so I purchased my current ride, '14 CX-5. Fast forward: within the next year, I plan on retiring for good and since I won't need a DD that must go in all weather conditions, the desire to get back into a sport coupe came into focus. Had my heart set on an MX-5 GT(6MT) but SWMBO is not coming around. All you married guys realize that Happy Wife=Happy Life so I don't need to explain further. There lies the reason that I have now focused my research on the 86. Seems to satisfy most of the check boxes. Been perusing this forum and there's a wealth of info. I still know how to use the function!


At this point, I have my sights on an 86 GT (6AT) in Oceanic Blue. I'll be chiming in from time to time to ask some questions that I can't find and offer some suggestions/knowledge that an >60yo enthusiast has accumulated over the years.


Stay safe out there and looking forward to a new chapter in my catalogue of "Cars That I've Owned".


All the best,
Steve
