Hi all,

My name is Hooman and I'm a proud owner of a new Whiteout FR-S, just picked it up last Thursday. I'm loving this car and the way it handles. Below is a few pix of my two mods so far. Tomorrow I'm having Hotchkis springs and sway bars installed. This weekend I should have an AEM intake and Borla exhaust put in, I'll post pix when done.

Here is a list of some of cars I own and have owned:

1999 Integra Type R
2001 VW GTi VR6
2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege
2004 Dodge SRT4
2005 Subaru WRX STi
2007 BMW M5

What's happening up in here folks? My buddy GodDamage is awaiting delivery on his shiny new BRZ so I decided to sign up and see what's happening out here/razz him non-stop in every way possible.

I personally don't own one of these little bastards, instead I drive what could be considered a barge compared to you guys



Can't wait to get to know the community!

Hi, everyone I'm Michael bought my BRZ in late October '12 and recently just joined this forum. This is my first "new" car. My previous cars were and 88 Supra N/A and an 87 Supra Turbo. looking forward to passing some time, making some friends, and keeping up to date with what's new.

Hi DriftEm and welcome! I have always admired the Type R's and was curious about your impressions of the Type R vs your new frs?

Hi Ender and welcome! Your post is showing up fine, sometimes you have to refresh the thread to see your new post. If your trying to start a thread I believe you have to post about 10 times before you can start a new thread.

As you can see I've had a few front wheel drives and Type R by far was the best handling one. As the engine goes, one of the best four bangers ever built, when that VTEC kicked in, OMG, it was one of the best sounding engine. I think the only four cylinder better would be the gen1 S2000 engine.
Since I haven't track my FR-S yet (it only got 600 miles on it), I haven't got a feeling for this car at it's limits yet, but being rear wheel drive, I think the is no contest

Hello everyone, I'm Joe; I just purchased my Scion FRS (Whiteout) about a month ago and I love it! One of the only previous cars I've owned that is worth any mention is my 1990 Nissan 300zx. Looking forward to getting to know everyone and possible going to some meets.

Hey guys!

Just picked-up my Asphalt 6AT Scion FR-S this afternoon. It's awesome and am still smiling from ear-to-ear.

Been lurking here for a few weeks while awaiting delivery and have found many very helpful and interesting threads.

Thanks!

Finally got an account over here, I picked up a white FRS in August out in Fort Wayne, IN. Nothing done to it yet, i'm going to hold off until I get more of it paid off and get to see what kinds of longevity we can expect from some of these mods


The roads are too straight and flat out here though, I miss going to school is SW Virginia!

Greetings everyone, just pulled the trigger on an Ultramarine FR-S + manual + baseline audio package. I'm coming from a '98 Civic Si stick. Waiting to take delivery.. basically fell in love with the machine on the test drive. I'm in the greater Toronto area. I bought the car because of the combination of fuel efficiency and sportiness and handling capability. My other car is a mininvan. The FR-S I intend to use for my kitesurfing trips and as a daily driver. Say hi if you're in the Toronto area. I want to upgrade the wheels but I know nothing about this, what I need to lower it it a bit so the 18" fit snug etc.. so I will be reading up on this.. Also looking to replace the antenna stick. Cheers.
