Hi All,


I'm back with a 2014 Hot Lava 6MT version. I changed the wheels and tires to TSW Nurburgrings and Michelin Pilot SS. Yesterday I had the TRD lowering springs installed. Much improved handling. More mods to come.


Still have the stock 2014 Nissan GTR. My wife said, "Honey, you should get a knockaround car so you don't put too many miles on the GTR."


My reply was, "Thank you God for sending me this woman!"


Cheers,


Frank

New here to the forums, but I've owned a '13 Asphalt FRS since February. Came over from DSM's, this is my first RWD car and it's a blast!

I have drooled over the GTR since I first saw them but way our of reach for me (right now).
The FRS is a very suitable replacement for me though!
Glad to have another Lava owner on here for backup.

Hi, I'm looking to purchase a FR-S here in the next year or so. I'm currently in Japan, and have lived here for the past 20+ years, once I purchase the car, I will leave it at my fathers place... and drive it when I come in to visit.

I plan on buying some of the harder to get parts here and shipping them back. I probably will end up with most of the parts and no car.

Any questions? Hit me up.

Hi everyone,

I just bought an RS 1.0 about a month ago to use as a daily driver. This is my second sports car, first is my Evo X. Evo was previously my DD but it's blown two turbos this year and appears to have an oil leak in the engine somewhere so I needed a second car. Here's a small picture of both of them together:



Bit about me... I live in the greater Seattle area and participate in auto-cross with the local SCCA club and another smaller club (Bremerton). I'm a timing chief for the SCCA here so if you see me at an event please feel free to stop by and say hello. I don't have any real plans for the FR-S since the Evo is the purpose built race car and I don't think I'll keep this for longer than 3 years. But we'll see I guess..

Proud new owner of a 2014 BRZ Limited in Crystal Black Silica. Traded from an '06 BMW 330Ci Convertible a couple days ago. My commute just got 900lbs lighter, way less expensive, and more fun. I'm going to enjoy not adding a quart of oil every month. Cheers.

Hello everyone, I just purchased a 2015 Asphalt FR-S. All I can say is that coming from a 2004 Toyota matrix that this car is a complete blast to drive! Loving every second of it. I've clocked over 1700 kms and I've had it only two weeks!! LOL!!

Hi everyone,

I've been meaning to post for awhile since I've got my pride and joy but never got the chance to because of how busy I've been. Picked up a Release Series 1.0 at the end of last month and wanted to share some photo shoot pictures that my buddy helped me take. Here's the album: http://imgur.com/a/o7SYc Excited to see some of you in the GTA region! Not sure if FR-S owners are like the motorcycle community where you acknowledge the other but it's nice to turn some heads once in awhile

Hello all,

just got my 2015 Scion FR-S Release Series on Friday 10/24/2014. Went from an XB and by far the most fun I have had driving. Im here in South Florida but came here to see what everyone else has done with theirs and to learn as much as I can. Always been interested in cars just never dived head first into it.
