I've found the information on this board to be very helpful. Keep up the good work everyone!
Well, HELLO, Momentie and WELCOME to our happy clan!

WOW - Nice gift you received in your Christmas box .....

Yep, some snow shoes would be a good thing for your new machine.

Lol...humfrz, you might be my new hero! I am really excited about this car. I have had quite a stable in my short 32 years, ranging from a '64 Bug, Ford Escort GT (lowered on Five star mags and chrome fender covers. Probably the most ghetto car I've ever owned. Still don't know if I should claim it or not), DA body style Integra with full JDM interior (It wasn't very Fast, but it was pretty Furious), Z-71 pickup, Scion xB, couple of newer Jimmys, Pontiac FireChicken, several Hondas, Mustang Cobra (SN-95), couple of Tahoes (wifey drives an '06. I try to drive it when I can, but getting the keys from her is like trying to take an exhaust bearings sample...ain'ta gonna happen), and now my Argento FR-S. I am sure I am missing a few here and there, but besides the bug and the Cobra, the stable was fairly sedate...til now.

Hello! Brand new here. Been lurking for a few months, but finally decided to register. Don't have an 86 yet, but I fell in love with the car the first time I saw it reviewed on Top Gear. Just trying to remain patient as I pay off the truck and I figure out exactly how I want my FR-S. So....soon. Soon......

Hi ya, Zooner ...... and ...... ..... on your new purchase!

So, you are looking to "fix" your FR-S. Good news for you ..... IMHO, for average driving and fun on curvy roads ..... it don't need fixed .....

However, if you are set on doing something to it, you may consider "sporting up" the exhaust sound. This is a good one:

If you desire driving in the snow or doing some track time or autoX, you may consider some different tires.

It's came off the boat pretty well set up....

..... Yugimons ..... to a good place!

Yep, you are spying a darn fun car.

If you have questions, I suggest you search the data base using the Google search engine (just go to Google and slap "site:ft86club.com" (sans quotes) into the box and then put in your search criteria.

However, if you don't find what you're looking for, just make a post.

What's up everyone, my name is J.C. I've been lurking these forums for a while now and just recently decided to sign up. I picked up a '13 Raven not too long ago and have been enjoying the car ever since. It's my daily driver and I plan on modding it as I go!

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the forums and also new to my recently purchased '13 FR-S.

I bought it with the TRD Exhaust and negotiated the TRD Intake to be installed AND just got in on the Crawford AOS groupbuy on this forum...So it seems I've caught a bit of the mod bug!

I've already had a few people joke that this is my mid-life crisis car, to which I say...Eh! So what if it is!? I'm enjoying the hell out of it and so is my young son that I take with me everywhere!

Going to look at some tomorrow and I'm ready to take advantage of the FR-S lease ($2k down, $296/mo). Besides the recent college grad discount, is there anything I should know to ask for?
