I work out of town most of the time so I figured I would get something reliable and fun when I am in town or driving between them. They are offering it to me at $300 below MSRP.. We'll see if I can do better..

Hello all. Picked up an Asphalt FR-S last night, came from a TBSS that I poured WAY too much money into. This car is a blast, and look forward to checking out all the info this place has to offer. I'll be learning the car for a while before the mods begin, but it's a weekend car so it may take a while.

Hello. had my FR-S for about 2 months now, found the forum when I was searching the cricket noise, and I got a way better answer here than I did at the dealership. I've seen a few guys rockin' the 86 around the GTA, I got mine in march and haven't driven in deep snow, had snow tires put on at the dealership when I picked it up and haven't even touched the stock wheels yet.

New owner coming from an 02 Spec V Sentra. Loving my car for the past few weeks. It's an Ultramarine.

It will be a daily driver even in winter for when the roads are ok. Won't be insane on mods except maybe a drop in filter and header. I'm getting the TRD cat back installed. It's expensive and far from the best probably, but it sounded great to my ears compared to others so I think I will enjoy it.

Headers will come later once I get more info on how to fool for the cat removal. On my Sentra I just added lenght to the wires for the 2nd O2 sensor and welded a bung from the stock header behind the 2nd cat, but I dought that will pass on warranty hehehe. I also don't know if I want to get a regular or UEL header. I really like the UEL sound.

Proud owner of a Nissan 240sx (s14). No stranger to the RWD world. This is my 4th s-chassis car.

Im saving my pennies to get an FR-S. I love the lines. I love the balance. I love everything about the car.

I'm torn between blue, black, or red.

What have you done so far? We love pics 'round here too

Got myself a new Argento FR-S last month. Already put 1500 miles on it, and I'm planning on putting in 100 times that.

So far nothing to big. Grimmspeed brake stop, their 86 oil cap, hood struts, obviously got rid of that damn kazoo noise pipe thing, TWM short shift kit, clear side markers, weighted shift knob TWM (I want a flossy redhead tho), engine mounts on order, and installing tranny/shifter mounts this weekend. Bout it for now. Next up is a brake upgrade.
