Works well with your aero kit.

The waiting is the hardest part but trust me, the feeling when you collect the car for the first time will be unforgettable.

Saying hello!


You may want to ask, what is someone who drives an old automatic Corolla doing on this forum.


Well, back then I had to get something cheap, economical and reliable, hence the Corolla.

Now I am slowly starting to think about getting something new, maybe later this year? I thought about my priorities and preferences, looked around, made a list, and the list includes the FR-S. I kept looking for info, found the forum, and thought I'd join and learn something about the car. Even if ultimately I get something else. I already benefited from lurking: I found full 2016 owner's manual here, couldn't google it anywhere else - thanks!

So here I am.

And, by the way, when it comes to steering response and feel of the road, I'd still choose my old Corolla over a 2016 Mustang ;-).

LOL Half the guys here drove an old Corolla. Some still have them. There is no place better to learn about the car than here even if our bickering may confuse the hell out of you at first. Just pick a side that you agree with and go with it.

What did you have for a DSM? There are a couple of us around here that had them but we are a very small minority.

Intros

Been scouring the forums for a while, figured I would register since my wife and I just bought a '15 Lightning Red BRZ about a month ago. Glad to be here and can't wait to contribute.

Let's get

Hello All,

I picked up a Asphalt 2015 Scion FRS 2 weeks ago. I am learning much from the ft86 community and after browsing around.

Can't wait to start modding!

Finally added an 86 to the fleet!





Just got it last week in Pittsburgh. Manual trans, 14k miles, Nav, fog lights, etc. $17,500 + T&T.

No performance mods in the immediate future, want to put a season of autoX and track days on it before I start messing around there.

I am planning to do some protective/preventative stuff to it soon though. I'm weighing my options on rust-proofing, especially http://www.fluid-film.com. I'm also looking at clear plasti-dip as a sort of disposable clear bra, and scotch guard? Maybe?

Looking forward to being a part of the community!

Hey folks, I'm in from Starkville, MS (MS State Grad Student) and I just bought a 2013 Argento and am having my TRD intake and exhaust installed Friday. I feel like I got a pretty good price on my car, and it only has 27K miles. So far, I really like my car, and I'm not new to this game.

My goals for the next year include:
Front Lip
Some sort of trunk lip/spoiler
Wheels and tires
Lower it about an inch (hoping to avoid major supporting mod cost)
Maybe even headlights.

I'm trying not to go too crazy, but I am excited.
