You're gonna hate me, but I got my Ultramarine from Round Rock Scion in 2 and a half weeks.... my dealer was able to snag a MT from the shipment at the port because another dealer wanted an automatic (lol?). The only part I had to change on my order is if I wanted the interior protection which I said okay to since I got the car early and it could have been months waiting for another Ultramarine.

Keep it under 4,000 rpm for the first 1,000 miles, regardless of what anyone says otherwise. Better safe than sorry.

Yeah I have been taking it easy, trying to get enjoyment from cornering for now.. its gonna be a long drive.. also no worries I had a couple other reasons that made flying here ok

Finally finished the install of the speakers and everything sounds great. Much cleaner sound than stock.

I have an extra pair of 6.5" speaker brackets (to install speakers in the door) if anyone wants them. I didn't know if they were sold in pairs or not and, well, better safe than sorry.

FYI I bailed on my manual red FRS @ Round Rock Toyota if anyone is interested call Jose at 512-293-4866.

Bailed because I already bought the asphalt one.

Each time I drive by Round Rock Toyota, I look in their display cases to see if they got a new FR-S sold, lol. Usually always see a Camry/Prius in those but who knows, maybe I'll see another in there!

Btw, that FR-S is probably gone if it's been there for a few days.

[HillCountryGuru]

Probably they are on an insane level of demand

Still waiting for our asphalt frs... 2 months so far... did I read something about an austin meet on feb 8?

The good news is I had time to prep the garage...

So I am gonna be looking to install some parts on my FR-S that would require I get a lift. I am not in the position to do that until I buy a house with a garage, so my question is. Where in Austin is a reliable shop that does quality installations? I don't want to get something installed and find scratches on the car.

I was wondering the same thing about shops. Although, I was at Sam's last week and picked up a low profile jack and 2 stands for $100. Have a guy that lives in my complex with a Civic SI that owns 2 other jacks that I can borrow. Guess I'm going to attempt to install my exhaust myself when I get it.
