What's up! Just picked up my Raven fr-s in september. First thing I did was de-badge it and install a berk muffler delete. Just had my ECU reflashed for the dreaded check engine light, but everything seems to be ok, besides the crappy throttle response.

Coming from a 98 prelude and a g35 coupe (fun car but way too heavy)

Hey guys!

I'm not an FR-S owner yet but planning on buying one after I get back to college. My first sighting was at a Toyota dealership on Okinawa and I've been wanting one ever since. In the meantime I still have my trusty old 2002 Honda Civic.

19 year old 86 owner! :)

Hi all,

My names Alan. I've been a proud owner of a AT Pearl white 86 GTS for 5 days now! Luckily my dad works as a sales consultant at my local dealership so I only waited a month. Bought the car for $43000 AU and I've enjoyed driving it so much that I've already clocked 1300kms.

I've ordered CAI, struts and sways for it. Just have to wait now also considering a turbo kit but since I'm still on my provisional license, I'm not allowed to drive turbocharged cars according to the road laws where I live.

I guess I am not alone to wait out for the 2014 model. Also I am still thinking between FR-S/BRZ and G37.

Picked up an Asphalt 6MT last night after selling my E34 525i earlier in the day. This thing is damn nimble! The steering is super quick and direct too...I almost changed lanes into some divider reflectors between lanes when fumbling for my Bay Bridge toll on my first drive home. Woke me up for sure! Now, I just can't wait to get past break-in so I can give it a meaningful amount of revs...

on day 14 with my Ultramarine FR-S. Loving it so far! It's been about 17 years since I last drove stick, so getting used to it took a little time but I'm back on it, and loving it! Wishing my drive to BART was more than 3 minutes, but it's ok.

Ooh, where'd you find your Ultramarine? Or did you reserve it? That was my first color choice, but when I found a lightly optioned Asphalt, I had to go for it since all the Bay Area dealers are fitting showroom cars with leather and getting them up to about $30k.

Actually, a buddy of mine works at City Toyota/Scion, and the day it arrived he called me and said I needa come get it before it gets sold, so I took a partial day from work, got my old car cleaned, and rims and other aftermarket stuff off, and traded her in. No reserve, a first come first serve thing

Ah yeah, they had two Ultramarines pass through there is past week I think. One they immediately optioned out, and the other must be the one you're driving! Congrats!

Yeah, I think that may be the one. The other one did have more options, and a higher sticker price.

Hello;

I'm newly registered and have been looking through the forums for a few weeks now. I plan on getting a FR-S in the next few months and I'm sure glad to have a proper forum to go through to get quality advice/information.

Looking forward to being an owner and contributing to this site!
