Sounds like it might be worth touching base with your Sales rep thorlius. They might have an ETA now.

I ordered mine right after the long weekend, July 3. Been a while, but things are moving along now! My sales guy is awesome! There was a time I was a liitle on edge but since it left Japan he's kept me updated on its journey.

Welcome and congrats on the upcoming arrival.

He called me Saturday to say "What colour did you want again?" Then said he'd be in touch very shortly. Tuesday goes by and I feel like I'm just being trolled.

I'll be there in a few weeks on Thanksgiving - first/only lapping day of the year. Oddly, Mosport Thanksgiving last year was my last lapping day.

Spotted a white FRS at Bridge and Lexington this morning.

Awesome day at Mosport! I was severely outclassed, up against an Audi R8, multipy Porsches, and Vettes. They were just breezing past me on the straights, but I think I did well for a track noob. Still need much more seat time at the track.
More power and better rubber wouldn't hurt either

I wish I could say I could help, but I don't have access to other dealers allocation. I'm sure they're doing the best they can. Inventory is tight everywhere.

Did you do a before and after tread depth similar to the Hungarian Wolverine Nino Karotta (which, if you haven't seen the video, is one of the best videos on YouTube about the GT86)?

Just cruised on the highway with a ultramarine frs. Anyone on here?

Congrats to you! Hearing news that a firestorm mt is being delivered gives some hope. I hope you have some time before it snows too.

Im also waiting - ordered July 5. Similar situation to thorlius though no vin or eta - was supposed to be August now the dealer has no idea.

Am I the lone female in the KW group?

There is another female that was at the GTA meet.

Haha That was me! Loved the headlights....looked great at night!!!

Gotta say, you are only the second FR-S I've seen on the road, and I've had the car for 2 months now!!

Going to Mosport tomorrow! Whoo hoo!

I've been gleefully utilizing that 5000rpm tip from that first meetup - well on our way to shredding those prius tires, LOL.

Winter is coming! What tires has everyone decided on? Still weighing options here.

naking - I think I saw you last week: I was heading westbound on the 7/8 and I saw an ultramarine FRS heading towards Waterloo. Just after lunchtime I think?

Hi BreezinBy! It's good to see another female FRS enthusiast around.

You do anything to yours yet?

[df.dima]

Yes, I agree its nice to see you too, like a mirror image .

Not doing anything this year yet. May drop a small sub in the trunk to up the fun during my work commutes, but waiting for next spring to come to start with part mods. I'm still not certain how I want to touch the suspension, it feels damn good around town so far and since I don't participate in any motorsports yet, I see no reason to.
This year has been unusually spendy for our family already (paid off my wifes OSAP loan as she's done school and start work now, 2 new cars, overseas trips, gym classes and a lot of other fun stuff...), so we got to calm down for a little bit. I say winter time is time to work and make money, other seasons are for fun .
