Hi! I am Nic, aka DrifterX. I just traded in my 2010 Hyundai Gen Coupe for an FR-S. Anyways nice to meet you all. (I haven't really since I totally didn't read the 83 pages but... I hope I'll see you guys around.)

-edit-

It is a Dark Blue guy M/T all the way, had to wait for a month and a half to get it built and shipped from Japan. So exciting though! And I am from the PNW.

Hi all,
My name is Eric, user name mkiisupra. The FR-S is about the only car I will consider breaking my personal, 'no new car' theory for. I currently DD a Focus SVT, but dearly miss the daily RWD. I still have a few other older Japanese sports cars, but would like to get out farther on the autocross venues with a car with A/C, since I live in Northern CA, central valley.

Looking forward to a bit more research into the FR-S, my first in person look at the car, and perhaps a drive before making the leap into GT86-land.

Enjoy the ride,
Eric G

FRS-TRD

Hi all,

My name is Kevin, I am from Canada, I work for Toyota in one of the plants. I will be getting the FRS-TRD Whiteout, although I really like the New Aero Kit for the FRS, but still think the Spoiler/Wing is too high. I have to wait and see it in person may it will change my mind. But for now, I don't think we can get the car 'till next year, long waiting list.

For thought I got the FRS/BRZ, hope you enjoy and for though are waiting, hope you get your car soon.

Cheers to all
Kevin

We here at Toyota always put QUALITY first, speed up the production is not our way of building cars

Ps: I know you were joking

I'm new here

Hi everyone, just placed my order for the 86 GTS on the weekend .. still deciding on paint - the black is awesome but, due to how quickly it shows dirt I decided to go with the Dark Grey. I've been told today that the Grey is just as bad LOL so I guess - White it is .. :P

I'm already planning mods, I see AVO are releasing a turbocharger kit for the FA20, I'm keen on a STi 2.5L or 2JZ conversion though .. should have heaps of time to plan it out as i've been told 12 months delivery date at present.

How are the mods coming along in other parts of the world? I see TRD have released some off-tap brake upgrades and underneath "nice"ies too .. inc suspension etc .. I think this car is going to be a crazy seller worldwide hey ..

I've been lurking for a few weeks now and finally decided to make a profile. Saw a few BRZs on dealer lots then saw my first 86 in the "wilderness" actually it's a pizza delivery car!!!

I finally get my first test drive tomorrow on a dealer owned demo. We'll see if this puts me in the poor house since (unlike Chewie4299) I plan to keep modding my Wrangler at the same time.

Hello,

My name is William. I would first like to say that I have been reading around this forum and I think this site is VERY well organized and VERY informative. All of the threads of note are well written and in a sequitur order and I almost didn't feel a need to post anything.

I do not personally own a ZN nor a ZC. My interests comes mostly from owning an RX8 which I feel might be somewhat comparable and I now own a 2000 Impreza RS set up for ST in the SCCA which I believe the FRS/BRZ may become competitive.

For the most part I may just lerk, but if I feel I have something of value I may put in my .02.

Anyway, keep up the great work!
