Hello

Hi everyone one just picked up an asphalt MT FR-S last Monday. Switched cars from a 135i that was pushing 400rwhp. Warranty was up so was either extend warranty or new car. The FR-S easily won me over. It has only been a week and I'm in love with my car, I take her out every spare minute I have. True pleasure to drive. It's specially nice to have a car that you can shift though all the gears without going twice the speed limit. AND the handling... well i don't have to tell you guys you all have one. I'm truly impressed with the gas millage, and being a grad student it's definitely a big plus. Looking forward to getting an exhaust that fill in those exhaust arcs. I had a two cases of the idle sputter, going to see if it persists tomorrow before taking it in. Other than that the cars is perfict, I actually turn more head with this thing than my BMW(well modded too).
two thumbs up to Toyota/Subaru great car.

PS: my avatar is not the actual car at a track, still in the brake-in period not an idiot... its just a snap shot from my replay on GT5.

Hello from Australia here.

I am a 25 year old guy who makes money by managing an electronics store, and owning a small business...and spends it on my toys.

I've owned 14 cars now, but the past 5 have been all Toyota and all fun.

I bought a st185 celica which I turned into ashow pony, then while I had that I bought another, this time a Carlos Saintz edition for some dirty fast fun.

Then I decided on more of a gt car, so I bought myself a 1995 sw20 gt (top spec in aus) mr2 that was as new, with less than 60,000km and all original. With the plan of keeping it stock. That lasted awhile, before I started modifying it using trd and toms items, with a smattering of other things.

Unfortunately that car came to meet a kangaroo on the highway so I bought a 1986 aw11 mr2. By the end it had too many mods to list, including a highly worked ae101 sc engine. Basically only the chassis was standard when I was done with it.

I sold it, and bought a 1986 Toyota hilux surf. Which I have modified for camping, including snorkel, locker and LSD, custom tent roof rack, tent, Spotties, etc, etc.

I now use it mostly for my business, so I decided that an 86 would be a good way back to the sporty side of fun.

I have on order a storm black mt gts. And I HOPE to have it before end of year, though it's more likely coming early next...

My plans will be to keep it stock for a while (at least until it is out of warranty), then if I modify it, it will be done using trd bits where possible.

Looking forward to it so much...I even go in for 'test drives' when the wait gets too much, lol..

Hello Im Tony 30 years old and a service writer at a Toyota dealership in CT

Ive had some fast/cool cars Currently I daily drive on is250 the pretty low on Megan coilovers. I do have a MK2 Gti vr6, that im currently working on selling to use as a down payment on a WhiteOut FRS.

Still on the fence about buying one, but I'm going to use this site as a deciding factor.

Thanks guys, any service questions you guys may need the dealer to find out, or if you think your dealer is giving you the run around shoot me a message and Ill try and do my best to help you out.

Hey everyone, Argento MT from Birmingham, AL here. Anyone from the AL area on the forums? We should plan a meet up soon. I've only seen one other FR-S on the road since I got mine last Saturday and it was a Raven heading south on I-65 towards Montgomery. Having a blast with my car so far!

Hi.. I picked up my asphalt frs a couple days ago.. Unfortunately it's a auto, but.. Well crap I just fell in love and there were no 6 speeds in so cal and I'm very impatient.. The auto is better on fuel and it's a 80 mile commute.. That's what I tell myself anyways.. I should've waited but I still love my new car.. It's the very first new car and my very first purchase by myself with my own credit.. I mainly do bikes.. Race and ride the crap out of them.. I haven't been in the import scene in many many years.. But seen the car in a mag a year ago and knew I wanted one.. Other then some rims and lowering I'll get an exhaust and that's about it. I'm part of many forums and hope to learn and contribute what I can to this one..

Hi everyone! I am Brian from Fremont, California. I am in the process of parting out my 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe, trading it in for either a Raven or an Asphalt FRS

Hopefully it will arrive soon! (Dropped a deposit at the dealership, so its just a waiting game now)
