Hey, I'm Steve (as you can probably tell by my oh-so-original name). Just picked up my 6MT Argento FR-S two weeks ago.

You'll find me driving around the Boston area, so if you know of any good winding roads in the area definitely PM me.

Hey guys, I'm Jonny from the Chicago suburbs and I've been following this car for about year. I really wanna get this car, but paying for school has to come first.

In the meantime, I'll be learning to drive stick and living vicariously through you guys until I finish my undergrad and possibly an MBA (Go Buckeyes!).

Whats going on fellas?

My name's Jerald, From San Diego. Proud owner of a '13 FR-S Argento. I work for Toyota Carlsbad service center and recently picked up my FR-S two and a half weeks ago! Going from an bmw e30 (which i still have) to this car is great, night and day! im glad to be back in a car with a/c power steering, etc.

my e30 has been a project for me for the last 3 years, and i need something with reliability, warranty, and of course maintenance!

anyways, I'm all about the car groups and clubs, so this was my first stop to join!

I have already upgraded all lights to LED's and HID's and i have already tinted my car. Im waiting on deciding on wheels and probably a drop after that.

not sure on exhausts yet, but the Greddy SP elite seems to be a good fit (and price!)

thanks for your time!

Hi Everyone. I'm Andy from Nelspruit, South Africa, and I got my orange Toyota GT86 a few weeks ago. Almost finished with break-in, and I'm getting quite itchy for a bit of fun. I love Subarus and have a Forester 2.5XT turbo which goes like stink, and my wife drives an Impreza 2.5RS N/A Sportwagon.

New here. I do not own a FR-S/BRZ yet, but it WILL be my next car.

About 5 years ago I was looking for a light weight RWD car. Nothing to be found that caught my eye. Of course NOW the 86GT/FT86 comes out!

Oh well, so due to this car not even being a dream back then, I ended up getting myself a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata. It is a fun car to drive and mod. Scoots along pretty well too, though I am not about speed, I care much more for handling.

So, I will have my MSM Miata for at least a year or more, but then I hope to have a Subayota next!


BTW, this is a picture of my current ride:

Hi Everybody,
I'm not quite "new" to the forums, because i've been snooping around for a while trying to decide if i wanted to get an FR-S. Well, I did end up wanting one, so i got one! It's an Asphalt MT.

Don in Pittsburgh here. Currently have a 1997 Miata, 2011 BMW 528i and 2012 Focus SE Sport 5MT. Always loved Japanese sports cars, had a 1981 RX-7, 1982 Supra, 1990 Diamond-Star Turbo FWD. Drove FR-S yesterday and fell in love. :-) will be getting an FT86 when my BMW lease is up in October. I will buy it and keep it forever, like my Miata!

I am torn between the FR-S and BRZ due to only $500 separating them after Subaru discount, for HIDs and navigation it seems worth it. Damn that Pure Pricing, I wanted another Toyota like my Supra!

Hello everyone! The name is Hans and I just traded in a 2012 GTI and got a 2013 Firestorm Red FR-S. I have big pans for this car and plan to keep it indefinitely. I hope to make a lot of friends here and contribute to the community.

Welcome, Sergey!

Just navigate to the proper/desired forum area and press the "new topic" button at the top (left-side) of the page (don't know why they didn't call it "new thread", LOL).

Cheers!
