Hey all. Got lucky last week and picked up a Firestorm that someone backed out of their deal on! Still only had 5 miles on it so the guy never even drove it. Here she is at the dealer.


This is my first brand new car since I purchased an RSX back in 2002 when they first came out. I am keeping her too since I've done so much crazy stuff to her... most notably, a fully built motor with a GT3076R turbo making 425 wheel horsepower.


I am really enjoying the FR-S. It handles so sweet and it's wonderful to own a proper rwd sports car after years of fwd

Hi everyone!!! I'm Andy, im 20, i go to school for mech engineering, i drive a 99 taco and 95 f250 and right now i work at the toyota plant in indiana where they build the sienna, highlander, and sequoia im hoping to have an FRS by december just in time to not drive it lol, i'll get mine in asphalt and 6MT, and probably immediately start modding it with the 5 axis lip kit, probably buddy club c/o, and cusco sway bars, and throw on some white work emotion xd9s

Hello everyone!

I've been following this forum for a few months now and thought it was finally time register and say hello to everyone.

You all seem pretty cool and its great to share the love of the FRS/BRZ with a group of enthusiast like myself. I ordered the Ultramarine a few weeks ago and got the call today! Going to pick it up this Saturday! Pretty damn excited. Haven't felt this way since Street Fighter II was announced for the Super Nintendo. haha.

Just got my FR-S last Tuesday. Was on the list for a whole 2 weeks before I got it. Traded my 2010 2 dr Jeep Wrangler Sport.

The nicest car I've ever driven.

Hi everybody! I joined this forum because it's really helped me justify my decision to get an FR-S. I'm supposed to call the dealership in about 10 min to see if their allotment for this month includes an automatic (I know, don't get on my case...) whitout FR-S. Really hope I can put a deposit down soon...

Hey Guys!

New guy here (duh!). My name's Drew from socal. I picked up a white-out FR-S A/T while on a business trip (I drove by a dealership that just so happened to have one available). Lucked out! Really wish I could've waited for an M/T, but my beater probably couldn't have survived for that much longer.
