Found them in the glove compartment after reading that thread.

Oh, and look through the DIY section for adjusting the clutch pedal height, radio settings, shift-gear indicator/rev limiter, ..., ...

You guys are great, unfortunately it did go through pdi in the morning i got there in the evening and it was already washed and drilled.

I wanted to ask all the guys that owns the FRS. What have you bought for your car thus far? Have you installed an alarm yet? Are you going to? If you are not installing an alarm, is there a reason why the car does not need an alarm?

opticoat is one of the greatest investments you can buy for a brand new car. look into it

Dezoris · 12-08-2012, 02:02 PM

Dont hold in the traction control button for 3 seconds on the street.

Jaylyons1 · 12-08-2012, 02:21 PM

Make sure to put in 93 octane, not 91 if you can help it. I know its harder to find in Cali but hopefully you can get it at least for the first couple of fuel ups.

Just stay away from the traction control button until your broken in no matter how tempting or how wet the roads are.

Definitely look it over. I had a pretty big dent and chip (about a nickel size) and the dealer fixed it on the spot. I was amazed how well they did with the work too!

MmmHamSandwich · 12-08-2012, 02:25 PM

Got to my car before my dealer had a chance to wash it. SOOOO glad I did.

well the car does came with a immobilizer security. but i rather have the alarm security installed as well. my dealer installed Pro4 Alarm, they gave it for free for me so why not.

if they charging u for it, its all up to u now if u want to pay their price or u could go for an aftermarket alarm. congratss with the car btw, u should join NorCal meet ups sometimes LOL

Alright, so i picked up the car thank god the bumper was not drilled they drilled into the grill! But when i got home, and turned off my car the right exhaust was blowing out smoke for about a minute is that normal? Also it happen 4 times where I smell something burning in the car is that normal too?

Dispect · 12-08-2012, 05:08 PM

Yes this is normal. Burning off manufacturing coatings and what not. It will go away after a little bit. Also remember the exhaust will get hot so if there's water in the tail pipe or on it. It will steam.

CaptainSlow · 12-12-2012, 03:12 PM

Yeah, most likely steam
