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).
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) |
