Prerunner is cool too. No hate for the Jeeps either. Welcome to the forum all.

Hi I've been reading the forum for some time now but just started posting so wanted to say hello. I've had my 86 just under two weeks now and still can't take my eyes off it; but now i'll be doing a little less typing and a little more driving.

Greetings to all from CorteX Racing. We are a suspension based shop located in Sonoma, CA at the racetrack formerly known as Infineon Raceway. We have branched out from our normal realm (Road Course Mustangs) to join the Japanese market in their road course and drifting needs.

We started off by making S13/14 suspension components then shortly after we finished and tested them the FRS was brought to our attention for SEMA 2012. I hope once our account is established we have the pleasure of doing business with some of you.

We are working on becoming a sponsor for this website to further assist the BRZ/FRS/FT-86 enthusiasts.

Here is the car we put together for SEMA 2012. Unfortunately no one captured any of our parts.

Hello, just joined and am picking up my FR-S tomorrow. I hate to admit it but I sold my AE86. Not enough room and justification to keep both.

Hello everyone, I am a Honda guy who hates Honda's and hopefully I will own an FRS sooner rather than later.

Smile hey guys. recently bought a br-z. clutch is burn out.

Hey guys,

I recently bought a BR-Z back in August. I took her to the dealership and they said it has a burnt out clutch. Any recommendations for an aftermarket one that's reliable and robust? They said that Subaru has not starting making OEM replacement clutches for the BR-Z just yet. I've seen a couple on the aftermarket sites such as Exedy, SPEC, and Clutchmasters.

Thanks in advance!

If you don't mind me asking, how did the clutch go out so soon? Heavy launches? Is your BRZ modified with increased power? Warranty did not cover?

Please fill me in, since I'm just curious... Btw, welcome.

New here.... heading to a Scion dealership on Friday to get an FR-S ordered, Ultramarine blue, 6spd, Be-spoke, and a couple other goodies.

Car I would be selling is a 2002 Camaro SS 35th Anniversary limited edition convertible. Not sure if I'm crazy or not, but this car really has my interest in several areas. Granted my car is very fast, very loud, and pushes a lot of horsepower, there are some flaws with it. Looking to move to something newer I suppose, and a bit more efficient gas wise, although my current car and the FR-S both use premium.

Also, I'm 6'6", but judging from others, I should be able to fit.

Hi, another newbie here. I'm seriously looking at the FR-S after testing one yesterday. My background is in Mustangs and I've had a few, but at this point I want something light and nimble as my crazy power days are long gone.

This seems to be a very nice forums and I joined to learn more from insiders like yourselves.
