Hey guys!

I'll be picking up my Asphalt FR-S tomorrow morning. I'm picking it up at Victory Toyota in Canton, MI, and I'll be driving it around Southeast MI! Upgrading from a 2003 Hyundai XG350. I can't wait!

Any advice for a newbie?

P.S. Victory Toyota is a joke and the salespeople know nothing about the FR-S. This forum has been a godsend! Thanks!

STX was my other guess. Have 17x9 with 255's (think that what gets me out of stock after a brief look at the rules). Springs, sways, poly bushings. I figured registration could correct me when I get there.

Keep an eye out for the other white BRZ

I'm in to help as well! Since it's going to be installed when you're back here, I'll have an exhaust (and maybe more) to install as well.

Awesome I have my Greddy and I have been very impressed with it. It's not very loud but I track my car so I have to keep noise restrictions in mind. Also remember the stock muffler is shaped the way it is for aero dynamics so I wouldn't go to far from the original design personally but always remember it's your car and if you like it go for it and if people don't like it that's their problem.

Yup STX. Wheels/tires, springs, bushings and sway bars on both ends of the car would all take you out of RT/Stock and into STX

I have seen: asphalt FRS, WRB BRZ, there's a firestorm somewhere i hear too, as well as a few others around town...

statistically, i guess it makes sense when you consider the demographics of the town, but without considering that, it makes no sense how many of them there are around town.

We can always get together some time and plan our routes so as to keep off the same street at any time and retain the car's exclusivity around town

I haven't seen the firestorm one either, but the (or a) WRB I see on Eisenhower at State fairly often.

Spotted an Asphalt FRS at 12mile and M-10 just before 4pm today. Anybody here?

Scionshaun · 05-18-2013, 07:53 PM

I have yet to see another FR-S on the roads down here =(.

If you see in AA a white FR-S with red rallyarmor mudflaps and greyish rims - he's not on the forum

Saw him today at autox school.

i was fairly certain the wheels were black w/ red pin striping.. though maybe that was just the mudflaps making the wheels have a redish pin stripe (it was dark out)

Just got back from the event, great time today. I think I met about 3 Twin owners, it was nice to meet you all. Good lord there were a lot out there today, great to see!! Any one planning on going to the Memorial Day event next Monday?

I'm working on uploading my videos from today for both my co-driver and myself. Also, he's not on this board but congrats to Sean Grogan, he finished first overall for the event in "PRO-RTR-CS" in his FR-S. Talked to him after and his only modifications were crash bolts, BFG Rivals, and a front sway bar

awesome driving!

Spotted a WRB BRZ heading north on 23 (I think, or east or 96 or 94...?) around 4 o'clockish. Anyone here?
