You will recognize me as the asphalt frs with 16inch silver winter alloys

Nope, it was around 4 or 5pm, and it might have even been a filthy Raven.

Jk Thorlius.

Now that I've got the car it's all good. I hope nobody else has to wait as long as I did!

FR-S is doing fine in this cold weather but doesn't like the shifts into 2nd until a little warmed up.

Went out to shovel the driveway tonight, and what do you know....all I hear is pssssssssh! Tire is going flat

It's too damn cold out to get the spare on myself, and Scion's Roadside Assistance is busy! I was told an hour or 2 just to talk to someone! Just my luck!

That sucks. At least it didn't happen while you were driving. That reminds me, I should really be checking my tire pressure. It is so easy to become dependant on TPMS.

Interesting. I have a hard time getting it into 1st and especially R in the cold morning. 2nd is rough for me, but it goes in... it doesn't need to be carefully forced in like I seem to have to do with R and 1.

Spotted a silver BRZ limited at Hespeler mall tonight. Looked amazing in silver <3

FBaxteR-S · 01-25-2013, 05:47 PM

Saw an Argento FR-S pass by my work at Westmount and Erb yesterday around 1pm?

I've seen more FR-I (plural of S) in the last couple of weeks than I have in the 6 months before that.

As you can see, the harsh, frigid temperatures of southwestern Ontario stir the FR-S from their nest and force them to forage for petrol much farther than they would normally venture. However, the young FR-S is not timid of the cold air or hostile climate; in fact, it arguable thrives and excels in it. The screeching of its tires and rumble of its flat-four Boxer engine are telltale signs of the FR-S' enjoyment.

LoL FBaxteR-S! I was just thinking how I love my FR-S just as much in the winter. It's a blast! So far quite controllable when it needs to be.
Love your house hippo-esque prose!

hey guys i'm wondering what your thoughts would be about aftermarket rims, I was thinking 18's, also i'd like to go for wider rims on the rear of the car, has anyone put 8 inch wide wheels and tires on their FRS?

Demandred7 · 01-26-2013, 05:22 PM

There are plenty of people running wider than that even. Check out the wheels, tires and spacers section of the forum. DarrenDriven has a fitment guide that he maintains that might help.

On this note can anyone explain how the tire width thing works based on rim width? 8 inches is not even 205mm, and the stock tires are 215s. If I wanted to go with a square 245 setup, would I need 9.5" wheels?

This site might help. Explains a lot, and there are endless other tutorials.
