Well hi!

I'm Clayton. I ordered my ultramarine 6mt on sept 4th, got a build sheet 2 days later (yay), and was told on sept 21st that it would land in the US (in Cali) on Sept 23rd. I have not heard any concrete update for how long it will take to ship across the US to Ohio but it's driving me insane

How do I get my delivery date from Scion USA?

I'm not sure, but Wesley Chapel Toyota had 4 of them last time I was up there. They'll let you test drive the car.

But if you are going to buy, I hear Sun Toyota is a better choice. Don't know if they have any in stock, but I would check them out.

Hello Everybody! Enthusiast here. Test drove a FRS(Automatice w/paddle shifter) last month and have been interested ever since.

Must ask, Manual or Paddles guys/gals?

So I guess I should say hi. Not sure exactly what I'm doing getting rid of my 335, but it has been good to me and I think it is time for a change. I originally wanted a White FRS, but the one I was suppose to get apparently got in an accident in the parking lot. So I opted for a silver one. Guess it was fate as my previous "fun" car has always been silver (Evo's, 335, etc..). I travel to go take delivery of her next weekend, this car is extremely hard to find here in the southwest.

It truly is going to be a change going from a 400whp stg3 335 to a car that appears to have less power than my motorcycle. lol First things I have in mind are a coilover system or springs and wheels. I had KW v3s on my 335, so I'm thinking I'll get the KWs here too. Any other suggestions to a new FRS peep?

Burrcold · 10-07-2012, 01:25 PM

New as well

I've been wanting to pull the trigger on this for a while but was hesitant. Traded in a 2011 VW GTI which was fairly new as I had just traded in a 2010 Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track. Went with whiteout and the upgraded stereo...and the 6AT. I know I know. Should be about 4-6 weeks for delivery, which is fine. I can wait well into the winter.

I got rid of the Genesis because of a need for 4 doors, and although it was a great car, the build quality was very spotty. I then sold the GTI because I realized I never use the 4 doors (was thinking I would need the extra doors and space for my 2 y/o daughter and another rug rat on the way...not so as we use my wife's CR-V for everything).

I've also really wanted to get back to a Japanese car. I've owed many Celica's, Prelude's, a Lexus IS, a G35 coupe, etc. I was also a project manager for Denso, so I was very involved in Toyota product development. I miss all of that, and can't wait get back to MY roots with this car! Very excited.

Hello. I've been lurking here for a while and finally decided to make an account. I'm currently driving an accord coupe, but looking to get back into a sports car. I raced a dirt track car over the last few years, but am forced to stop due to grad school keeping me busy. I'm hoping that an frs will help me scratch that itch... I'm currently saving for a down payment and am hoping to get a whiteout frs sometime in the early spring.
